Got the Cobra on a dyno for the first time!
On Sunday I took my car and left it with bob over at Kurgan Motorsports. He is going to be installing my ARH Longtubes, ARH Catted X, EGR Delete, AEM Wideband A/F gauge and also get a dyno tune. The only 2 performance mods I have on my car right now is a K&N FIPK and Borla Stingers CB. I spent most of the time re-doing the suspension on this car first. He did a couple baseline pulls to see where my car is at without a tune and without my other parts installed and the car made 419rwhp and the a/f was never richer then 12.5 and mostly in the 13. He is going to email me a copy of the dyno sheet tonight so I will post it as soon as I get it and I will update this thread when my car is all done getting everything installed and tuned. He mentioned when he dyno tunes it the A/F will be around 11.5 I believe he said.

I'm gonan try to make this a little more clear. The a/f being high is and the 419rwhp is just with the Factory tune from ford, k&N intake and borla stingers.
He is going to be tuning it and knock that a/f down to 11.5

Gotta love ford. That tune looks amazing!!! Not. lol it never came near the ideal a/f ratio. Thats dangerous driving that car around like that. Thankfully you will have a good tune in her next time you drive her. And my car was around 4-8% lean throughout my rpm band and when i got that taken care of and had the a/f flat lining like a dead man at around 12.8, i felt a WORLD!!! of difference. You will probably see a very nice gain from the mods you did...as well as the tune. The tune would have made your car feel worlds different as your car sat. But thats good numbers man. No cats, weld-in 50 series flowmasters, and a jlt rai, my buddy's car put down 446rwhp. So you'll probably be above that when youre all said and done. But you probably knew around where youd be after the mods anyways. Good luck with it man. Keep us updated.

When I first got this car a little over a year ago I decided that suspension and cooling were going to be the first things to do first, that's why I don't have many performance mods. I'm just glad my car is in good hands and will have a great tune one it. I just wanna drive and enjoy my car for the rest of the chicago summer which doesn't last long
