um, don't steggy's have a whistle at idle? I know with dougs lightning, you could hear it a little bit.

honestly, I'd rather have the idle whistle, than a hum anytime I was on the throttle, you're on the throttle alot more than you're idling. Also, centi's can be quiet at idle, you just have to buy the right one.

But I'm sure my opinion doesn't matter, because I drive a v6.

It does feel stock until like 2800rpm. But with the sad performance i got at the dragstrip bc of traction I couldnt imagine having the punch of a eaton or twin scew instead of it I know it would hav been worse. But thats mainly the fault of the rear suspension set up, and the fact that I have sumi's on the rear. My pre blower 1/4 time is quicker than the time i got a few weeks ago.

Pretty good deal for some c heads and a teksid block. Gonna go see it this week.

Anything specific I should look for from the outside?

$1500 seems extremely cheap.
make sure it has a Teksid and not a W.A.P block... i thought only some 99 got the teksid and all 01s were W.A.P.

Ya that's how it's supposed to be. I did see on another forum though (I forget which one) but the guy had a 2001 Cobra and he said it had a Teksid block. So I'm not sure, maybe the early 2001 got Teksid.

Either block will be good though IMO...Teksid being the better of the two obviously

@tee The seller said he was pretty sure it was a teksid. I will verify when I look at it. He unfortunately is on leave until early April, so I won't know for a few weeks. The seller claims he had come across a built 98 cobra engine with turbos. I'll be seeing it and following up with some pics and/or more info.

@KJ Of course your opinion matters if you're contributing. I personally have never heard a PD blower 'whistle'. The 'eeeeeeeeeeeek' of the blower at WOT is pure seks. Come to think of the, they don't really any make sound unless you're really on the throttle.

Oh yes they do, they have a cool jet-engine whistle at idle and while downshifting/slowing down they sound pretty damn cool.

Okay...you got me...it sounds kinda like a gear drive. It's not exactly a whistle.
