Factory Combo Goes 8’s After 20 Years!! Only One To Do It! - Episode

[@everythinguneed5210]

04 Cobra Owner, what an emotional video, I AM VERY PROUD OF U DAN....dont know u, but if I ever roll thru Cleveland, we need to ride man.....very proud of u bro...let this be a lesson to HELLCATS, THE 0304 COBRA IS THE FIRST REAL OG HC, without the 0304 cobra there would be no HC AND NO ZL1....get u some of that...RESPECT THE TRUE LEGEND 0304 COBRA!!!!

[@ranware2779]

Nor the ZR1 as well The terminator did it first and still holds its own in 2023

[@malloymotorsports780]

03/04 E55 AMG is the real OG hellcat. 4 door, supercharged v8 making 500hp 20 yrs ago. none the less, great video and awesome car. love the terminators. first ford where the engineers said FU to the Ford development budget.

[@everythinguneed5210]

@@malloymotorsports780 04 Cobra Owner, that is not correct on facts. Yes the 0304 E55 is supercharged, BUT if you really do a deep research of printed facts such as car and driver and road and track, there are stories of the 0304 Cobra being the first hellcat, the hellcat and others were not made because of a 0304 E55 benz that I assure you, anyone that knows cars, LEGENDS or has a 0304 Cobra well tell you this, not for debates or anything just facts, I am sure you will reply back which is cool, which will not result in a message back from me.....I am speaking because what your saying is not factual. Please do your research.

The 4.6 DOHC sounds better than the coyote, still my favorite mod motor.

[@MODIT]

and awhiles will, I've got back just to have the correct firing order again. Just hate the sound of a coyote

[@anthonyrowland9072]

@@MODIT It's the rear mount mufflers, they make everything sound worse. That's why they made a mid mount systems for the 3 valves.

[@midnight347]

​@anthonyrowland9072 that has little to do with the coyotes different sound because the 07-14 gt500 and 05-10 3v clearly sound different from the coyote and closer to pre 05 mod motors despite having rear mounted mufflers. That has a small effect on the sound but the biggest thing that makes coyotes sound diff is their firing order like the man said. The 3v and 07-14 gt500 4v both share firing orders with the old pushrods and pre 05 mod motors. .that is why they clearly sound better.

[@chrism.728]

Yeah, definitely the best sounding Mustang mod engines in my opinion. That's the only reason I kept my '04 Mach 1...lol. The Coyote and its variants are superior in every way though. That's why I had to get a Coyote F150 as well.

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

@@chrism.728 right on man! Yeah my brother still has his 99 mustang cobra as well, he has a bassani exhaust on it with a vortech supercharger. I think john mihovetz still holds the record for fastest mod motor? I don’t think there’s been a faster coyote yet? You can make some serious power with the 4.6, but everyone is now doing it with the coyote, I guess it’s easier to hit 1000 hp with it than it is with the 4.6, but all out race the 4.6 DOHC is crazy as seen with mihovetz.

[@discretion4362]

@@chadkent1241 Lets not get carried away. The cobra is the only ford engine thats really noteworthy. A stock modular ford v-8 is not in the same league as any iron block LS. No stock internals ford engine aside from the cobra and coyote has seen 8's in the quarter. Meanwhile bone stock truck 5.3's have ran as low as 7's and trapped 190mph. I respect Ford, but lets be realistic.

[@edmundnlemadim8480]

@@discretion4362 I think that "lets not get carried away" is a 2 way street, for both ford and chevy enthusiasts. terminator cobra, gt500, and coyote stock long blocks have been 8's; stock gt500 long block specifically has been 7's.. 7.94@173 mph. 1272 hp, 1043 tq with the combo being twin turbos and a C4 auto. Big key there is *stock long block from oil pan to valve covers* what 4.8/5.3, 6.0, 6.2 is doing that *trollface engaged* 😈 with a *stock cam, and springs... BWAHAHAHAHA!* Stock long block Ford Power > stock long block Chebby 🤣 and I say that as someone who dailys a 2013 PPV with a heads/cam/longtubes, DOD delete, and LSA blower kit in the living room in boxes, awaiting install. Also previously owned a 6 speed IRS cobra with a built motor, T56 magnum, and 2.9 Whipple crusher (2003, dark shadow gray) and a 2005 Mustang GT, so I may be biased just a little bit... lol But being serious for a second, LS superiority is in their cost vs performance.... up to a certain extent. Ford guy will never pick up a Gen2-3 F150 or mustang coyote long block for what we could pick up a LC9, LM7 or L33 for. But all of this shit is expensive once you start to build it from bottom to top. Pick your poison, Dart SHP 6 bolt block/BMP (world products) or Concept Performance aluminum 6 bolt block, or Sleeved Ford Racing 5.2? 4 Comp coyote cams or Johnson 2116LSR, trend pushrods, titanium intake valves, inconel exhaust valves with a 8620 CamMotion custom cam? CNC Coyote or Predator heads or Brodix/All Pro/CID LS3/LS7 heads? It all becomes checkbook racing at a certain power level, imho
