Haven't said much about it...

Well, I haven't said much of it, but a while back I picked up a 95' Mustang Cobra. Its black, with tan leather. 50,000 miles. Has BBK equal length headers, 75mm throttle body, BBK X-pipe, dual 3" Magnaflows, Eibach pro kit springs, 3.55 gears, and so on. Today, I just ordered my Vortech supercharger kit for it from Jegs, should be here Saturday morning. I will post pics soon, of the car, the install, and the dyno runs to come. I'm going to shoot for 400 whp @ 10psi..

Sounds like a nice car for sure. My buddy has a 96 mystic with a blower on it, its pretty nice. Does the car have the 5.0 or 4.6?

it would be.

also, loose the magnaflows, go Bassani full fit and get some kooks long tube headers.

Haha. Pics coming soon. I will ***** rides out, but I'm going to put a donation can on the dash that reads "for tires, fuel, and tickets" ... Every dollar helps. LOL. I have already started on taking crap apart, this kit is a TON of work. I had to cut a hole on the trunk floor, drill and tap the oil pan, relocate the radiator shroud a little bit, pulled off the smog pump assembly, etc. just in preparation of the install.

There is a TON of CHEAP stuff out there for 5.0s which is the whole reason I jumped on this car, that and I'm a sucker for the way 5.0s sound in general.

All done! Took 3 days, but I was very meticulous and did alot of BS'ing with the neighbors that wondered why they heard power tools at midnight the day before. Heres a rundown of the pics.

(1,2) All done, ready to test fire..
(3) Yea. It cost me 2700 bucks, a gallon of sweat, and a pint of blood.
(6) Fuel Management Unit *FMU* ... Increases fuel pressure ...
(9) Interior shot ... I love leather, full power everything, and keyless entry.

I know its dirty, but it has since been tuned, a couple bugs worked out of it, and washed/waxed ...

Car pulls STRONG. I am thoroughly impressed. Thus far I have pulled on a modded Lancer Evolution, stock C5 Vette 6 speed, a modded WRX STI, and some others... Videos coming...

Dude, its sooo wierd to drive the Cobra, then hop in the Ranger. I get in the truck, and feel like I'm running on 3 cylinders and am about to tip over.

I will take some clean pics of the car tommorow.

P.S. It doesn't take a fast car to make the Ranger feel slow. Its just slow period.

haha tell me about it I have the 3.0 with auto with tires that are almost 31in. So it's pretty damn slow haha. Hopefully some day i'll manage to get another sn95. Had a 96 gt and now i'd like to land a cobra of that body style.

carful on 10lbs. That is an S-trim supercharger rite ?


Buddy of mine blew his on 10lbs :( but he got a 331 on Low compression and has a T-Trim vortec now on 18lbs.

Hes going to sell it and get a procharger and hit for 24lbs. He's got a 95 GT.
