Beautiful Cobra, dig the fact that you drove it 60 miles, ran it and drove home with no issues, that's a win win. Another factor most watching this video don't realize is the high elevation at Bandimere, 5000+ ft. takes the breath out of even 600 + hp cars.
Thanks Dallas! As much as I want to make more power with this car, I'm really trying to keep the street manners it currently has. Thanks for watching and keep an eye out for future content!
You have great video editing skills, also I like your cobra to. I was thinking of a 94 in my future but based on the HP limits of the stock block, I think I'll just enjoy what I have.. a stock 01 cobra.
Get a Boss block, an SVO block, or hunt down a Mexican block. Or do what Ford did for the Cobra R, use a 351W! 😁 I had the pleasure of driving one 5 years ago and WOW!! Richard Holdener has a nice build on a 351W on here.
Hey mic, I have a sn95 that came with a 4.6! I swap the engine out and dropped a 351w/427w in it. If u go with a stock 351w block, people have neared the hp around 650hp without breaking them. Mine is mildly built 427w thats putting out 585hp and that stock block is happy 😊! So it's just a thought and would be a better hp for the money over that stock 302 block
Car looks amazing. But you might wanna check to make sure the bypass valve line or the linkage is working fully. That "flutter" isn't really normally. It should stay wide open and just whosssssssh, when you let off.
My friend mustangs got brutal torque u cannot take ur stang on street tires to the track get some slicks and trust me ur getting more than a second on the quarter , sharing my knowledge with u just for the record I have a 1987 fox body with a 347 engine and a Lil 80 mm ball bearing turbo no More need to say .
Thanks! This car is still running the factory style block and only 10 lbs of boost. it would take well over 600 hp to the tires to move a 3700 pound car to 130 mph. The is just a just full weight street car and by no mean a race car. Also the track I was running is in Denver Colorado and is over 6000 ft of elevation. Hopefully I'll get some content out soon on my other black turbo 94 Cobra. It is running a dart block and take the the kind of power to make the kind of power you're taking about. Thanks for watching and keep an eye out for future content!
I've got a 94 gt looking to trap about 115 in the quarter mile with boss block 5.2 build 4.125×3.0 ....its best is 12.9 @108 but since then I have switched cams from an f cam to a lunati 228/236ported my trickflow 170's heads and switched from longer runner track heat to box r . Went from a mid length 1.5 headers to accufab 1 3/4 longtubes we will see.
So I’m looking to buy a SN95 cobra . Beautiful car btw . Is this the 4.6 DOHC motor with a DSS short block ?? Or a Different motor ?? Hope I’m not asking a stupid question lol ??
Thanks! This is a 5.0 based pushrod engine, not the modular 4.6 DOHC. 94 and 95 and the last year SN95 to have a pushrod based engine in them. What year are you looking to buy?
There's something else going on with your car because mine made 11 lb of boost in mine was a 98 gt supercharged 308 whp and my car ran 12.9 at 107.8 your car got a built motor with 10lbs of boost I think you're down on power somewhere cuz that should be easily a 10-second car
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure where you live but altitude played a big in what the Cobra ran that day. As far as the Cobra's performance, Bandimere speedway has an elevation over 6000 ft and that's not taking into consideration what the air is that day. The car is 3700 lbs with me in it and I was 18" Nitto drag radials. The engine is built, but it's only running 10 psi of boost. I'm not making excuses for the car, but it just takes a lot more to get a car to run a good number at this altitude. Again, thanks for watching!
Achilles heel of a SN95, 60ft. .... 2.2 is common which really is terrible a a trait of the platform. Cut it to 1.7, which takes work (and breakage) and you'll have a low 11s car.
Slow AF huh? Bring your bucket to Colorado and see how if fairs at altitude. This is a mild street car built with off the shelf parts. Nothing special at all. Thanks for watching!
