very nice, it's a hell of a sleeper you've got there. what are the mods/boost/octane?

DonsCobraMark · January 17th, 2012

Thank You, The engine is completely stock with a Vortech Supercharger and runs 7lbs of boost. It has Meth injection so it runs pump gas. Kooks Headers, Electric water pump, and a 3,800 stall converter. The transmission is stock with a Dirty Dog Valve Body and Mercon 5 fluid and a trans cooler. Stock aluminum 1 pc. drive shaft. Stock rear end with 4:10 gears with Trac-Loc. A few suspension braces and some neoprene bushings. The exhaust is 2 1/2" duals all the way with a Magnaflow dual 2 1/2" in and out X-Pipe Resonator mounted behind the headers. 17" Cobra-R wheels with M/T Street ET's on the back. Cross drilled and sloted rotors with Ceramic pads. Air suspension was converted to springs and lowered. I think thats it. Wow I never compose this complete of a list before

it's really not that radical of a mod list, impressive

First Mellon Killer EVO. And thanks TurboMike & Mellon. Thats why I'm so proud of it. On my Cobra I spent thousands of dollars in suspension up grades, Sub frame connectors, All neoprene bushings, Braces, Steeda sport springs and shocks. Had a 2.81 pulley W/Idler (13-14psi) Inter cooler, Cold air intake, Larger Mass flow sensor, Acufab throttle body, Bussani high flow cat with X-Pipe, Borla cat back, And M/T drag radials. It's a beast, solid and handled well but I took it to the strip and made three runs. Two in the low 12's and on the third it broke an axle and had to be towed home. I'm not that good with a standard but even the best drive couldn't have done better than high 11's. I spent less on the Lincoln and all of its up grades than I spent on just the up grades on the Cobra and the Lincoln is out running it. And I have driven it there 5 times and made 12 - 15 runs each time and then drove it home.

yep, reminds me of my stealth needed 500awhp to run mid 11's lol. Didn't hook, too heavy, can't possibly be shifted fast etc... sometimes you just have to admit it's the wrong platform for the job. I stepped into the evo and ran 11's with only 400awhp because it's lighter, shifts fast and hooks better. Also it's cheaper to mod and more reliable.
