The '93 Cobra comes with 24 pound injectors, I'd go with at least 30 pounders with 6lbs boost, probably a 6:1 FMU ratio, big in-tank pump, and a bypass valve kit so it won't surge on decel. Run at least a 75mm MAF and headers, shorties work ok at this mod level. This combo will give you around 90 hp...

thanks alot! i've found a powerdyne for a 94-95, that im about to purchase are the brackets the same for a foxbody? or will i have to get more brackets? If I were you, I would hold out for a Fox body Powerdyne kit. Everything about the '94-'95 kit is different except for the blower itself, and I th...

I'd say Kenne Bell or Powerdyne. Both are self contained, require no permanent changes, and both work well on stock engines - not too radical. I've got a Powerdyne on my Cobra, I put a KB on a friends' '94 GT with an automatic and we were both surprised at how much it woke that car up. I mean a '94 ...

Well then perhaps I should clarify. I'm not talking about street cars or drag cars, I'm talking about track cars. I raced A sedan for five years and this is a known issue among the track guys. The reason that the factory sets cars up with a narrower rear track width is to attain neutral handling. Un...

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/P51C/Blackwithreplicawheels.jpg Obviously, everyone is entitled to their opinion. With the Fox axle conversion, the replicas actually sit about 1/4" further out than stock Cobra wheels on a stock Cobra. And yes, I've done it. The replica on a stock Cobra ...

the 8.5 fits cobras without hanging out of the wheel opening? NO . The aftermarket Cobra wheels were designed to fit standard Fox cars, they will stick out too far on a '93 Cobra. Some like the look, but it's inviting tire rub and doesn't look stock. To make the four lug replicas work on a '93 Cobr...

Wheel Replicas makes the replica '93 Cobra wheels, so that would be the first place I would try for the caps. And yes, the quality is super high and you can't tell the difference on the car.

Agreed, those scrawny Fox frame rails crush easily with a floor jack, a minor pet peeve with these cars. Mine has welded on subframe connectors that line the bottom of the rails, so I jack my car by these points now with no damage. It seems that unless you have a 22 mile wrapper car in a bubble, som...

If you were selling now you might have got more. That's debatable, the way things are right now people are holding onto their money and not paying as much for unnecesary items like collectible cars. It's a true buyers' market with some incredible deals to be had out there - if you still have expend...

Nice car and nice pics too. It's hard to shoot a black car and not have it look like a black hole, the lighting has to be just right. I like an overcast day with the car near something that puts a reflection in the paint for texture and definition.

You know, a buddy of mine from Chicago calls every van driver a "Jagoff in a van". It seems, around here anyway, that if you see something like that happen, it's either a van or a large SUV with a phonehead behind the wheel, despite the red light cameras and stiff fines. It's utterly infur...

This is a reduction gear box that is installed inline in a speedo cable. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/P51C/Geopedalmod002.jpg Most cities have a good speedo shop, and most shops can install one of these in your speedo cable, behind the cluster or right by the transmission. They then calibr...

Wrapper cars with 16 miles on them are really in a category of their own. Collectors go nuts for that sort of thing and those cars trade hands usually once every few years, from collector to collector, with the only mileage added being on and off the enclosed transport truck. It seems that if anyone...
