New Guy......with a 93 Cobra.

Post by arieso94z28 »

Hey guys, Im new to this site. I found this 93 cobra that was sitting in a barn for 10 years. Had 45K original miles on it. Pulled the original engine to freshen up and finally decided to drop in a 347 stroker. I actually just finished getting it done and tuned/Dyno. Car put down 350rwhp, and 363 ft lbs of Torque at 5800 rpms. Ignition was cutting out. Used stock ignition. I have since installed a MSD 6AL-2 and it feels way stronger!! Engine Has AFR 165 heads, 1.7 rr, Trick Flow Stage 2 cam, Probe forged pistions. Scat Crank, Scat rods, Cometic Head gaskets, 42# injectors, Trick Flow Intake, 70mm TB, Full Bassani Long tube Exhaust. 3.73 gears. Built the engine for boost, so I haven't decided to go with a supercharger or turbo kit yet....

Car had been sitting for 10 years without starting it up. Freshing up the engine seemed like a good idea at the time, but a 347 sounded even better. :headbang: I live in New Mexico. I live by Roswell, where the alien crash happened.

Can we get the last 6 of your VIN# so we can add it to the registry?
