William's 268,000 Mile 1999 Cobra | Dyno Pull

[@martinn9485]

LMR should have a drag race shootout with a set of rules vs American Muscle lol

[@lightningdad13]

that is impressive for having that many miles. I would have guessed around 250hp.

[@Wretched2JZ]

Same here. But it’s a testament to how well the motors were built!

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

Probably has the fix

[@midnight347]

This is about how much power it should have for the mods. They won't lose much if any power from having higher miles assuming it's been maintained and is in good mechanical shape. They aren't gonna drop 40 rwhp on a sub 300 wheel car just because it is over 200k unless it isn't running correctly.

[@madmod]

@@backyardboosters9128 The irs is far superior if taking corners fast. However, if accelerating from a dead stop is the primary function of the car, live axle is likely the better option.

[@midnight347]

@@madmod the irs wasn't all that in the new edge cobras. Yes it will handle and ride better but it isn't nearly as good as the 2015 up irs. That is what he meant by wonky. I'd rather have a solid axle myself cheaper to build handles power better easier to work on.

I was 8 when she got it new Im Now 33 restoration the car and I hope to take her down the quarter mile this summer after I get so e good sticky boys on the rear. Last car I races was a straight six turbo datsun automatic.. we were pretty even but nummy bolted blow off shut to try and win and blew the head...it was a clean datsun too...don't see em often Anymore...had I had good tire I'd light him up for sure I spun through 3rd. Hard ass tires are useless...I need a donor stand for parts.. someone tried to rob my front end at night and ripped shit to shreds so brackets housings headlights turn signal I found the bump in the bed of a truck match the number and took it..turned dude it...really messed the car up I prided the car for being all original being so nice to this day never has touched snow or salt..zero rust..oh yeah the man tool a chip from the original fiberglass hood somehow pass feneger idiot ripped of cobra fender badges broke BOTH...idiot cut the wiring harness instead of unplugging headlights..smh ..more that just a car to me since my mom's sick now, I hope to sue him so I can afford the repairs... people suck man.. probably wants his v6 to have cobra parts..now an original has been raped by stupidity...still has the hand built in Cleveland 50 with a special number to call if there's issues...cd player widows electric components even defrost all don't work now for some reason...rather have crank and no electronics like the cobra R ...it's.

[@midnight347]

At least you have a real gear. I think 430 is minimum and 456 is ideal na. If supercharged 4.10 them things love gears I went 4.10 on my old na 97 and regretted it. I'm about to get another 97 I'm going 430 at least if not 456 may stick with 4.30 because I think about boosting it too 4.30 would work pretty well with boost

[@PAFORM350]

I wonder if this has the fix because they were as low as 250 stock without the fix

[@midnight347]

Part of "the fix" is swapping out the catback so if that has been modified it's already fixed. The only other problem was intake manifold casting issues and if it's putting down 290 to the tire it def doesn't have the intake manifold casting issues.

How come this 1999 NA Cobra made more power then the 1998 Na Cobra that had less miles and more modifications from the other video?

[@victorsandoval7602]

*Kellie's 1998 Cobra

[@latemodelrestoration]

Air quality and tuning plays a big factor when it comes to dynoing these cars. It can be difficult to narrow down what actually caused the car to have less power, despite the modifications.

[@madmod]

B heads suck for Na horsepower when compared to C heads. Way to much port volume for such small displacement. With less cam timing, the later tumble port castings put down more power at all rpms.

[@midnight347]

​@@madmodthey do but you can make over 290 to the wheels with a b head with intake, headers exhaust and tune. With a ported short runner and throttle body I've seen as much as 315 rwhp from a b head. They like rpm once you have a manifold that can make power at rpm and not fall off.

[@madmod]

@@midnight347 Ive tested short runners on B heads and unless you are shooting for 8k rpm or more, C heads with a standard cobra intake will produce and support more power. It used to be it was cheaper to find B head stuff but now either can be had cheap.

[@24theMoney]

99 Cobra = the lawsuit Cobra

[@midnight347]

Do you even understand what it was that made the power issue? Most people don't and highly exaggerate the issues. All it was is intake manifold casting issues and catback issues once the catback has been changed and the intake manifold is changed or ported it'll make as much power as an 01 with the same exact stuff. I think they were all fixed they basically changed the catback and ported the intake to put it above the 320 hp rating. That is what the fix consisted of. No big deal just alot of people don't really understand what the issue was and think there is something wrong with the engine itself.

[@24theMoney]

@@midnight347 I fully understand the 99 Cobra issues. It took a class action lawsuit to get the Ford off their duff to fix the problem. Don't think Ford would have made Quality Job 1 if they didn't have lawyers involved.

So dumb to take out the IRS, it’s called upgrading your halfshafts, not very expensive.

[@midnight347]

There is more to it than just upgrading half shafts. You need the full tilt boogie irs bushings to fight the awful wheel hop. It gets pricey. It also weighs like 125 lbs more than a solid axle. The old irs in new edge cobras wasn't all that wasn't like the s550 irs. It was super common back in the day to ditch it for solid axle if you like launching at the drag strip. People did it alot on all the new edge cobras terminators included. Between half shafts and the full tilt boogie setup it does start getting expensive. Some people just wanna shed the weight and add reliability on the drag strip. If the car isn't setup as a corner carver the irs really isn't needed. Even if you want a corner carver the solid can hold its own look at the boss 302s.
