88BlueGT

Here is the situation. A good friend of mine is very interested in this car. I am pretty much a noob when it comes to 4.6L motors (Im a 5.0 guy) so I am just wondering; when I go and look at this car is there anything specific I should look for? Also, are there any questions that I should be asking him? I am FLYING to go look at this car so its very important that I know every detail about it before I go down there because I dont want to waste my time/money. He claims that it puts down just under 500rwhp.... sound right? Thanks guys.

Here is a brief description of the car:
03/04 Cobra motor w/ less than 7000 miles on it.
T-56
4.10 gears
FRPP Lowering Springs
18" Konig "Beyond" wheels wrapped in Nitto Drag Radials
3" cowl hood
Rear spoiler moved back (great aesthetics!)
2.8 pulley swap
Gates belt
Aeromotive A-1000 Fuel system (sumped tank, pump, regulator, and -8 line all the way)
MGW shifter (orange handle)
Redline leather shift boot and e-brake boot
13" Cobra front brake kit
K&N CAI
Flowmaster Exhaust
Auto meter gauges (*Fuel Pressure and Boost)
Dual Pillar Pod
Black Anodized "6 speed" shift ****
Spec Stage 3 Clutch
Spec Aluminum Flywheel
Black LED 3rd brake light
Cobra Headlights & Taillights
Steeda Clutch Kit (Double pick up quad, Cable, and Firewall adjuster)
Rear Battery mount
Shorty Antenna
Bullitt Pedals w/dead pedal
SCT Tuned (Modular Powerhouse)

I am sure there are a few more mods..... I just cant think of them right now. I will post them if I can remember anymore.

Also, all GT badges are ON the car. This thing is the sleeper from hell. Just about everyone thinks its a stock GT with an exhaust. Another bonus is that it still has the live rear end instead of the Cobra IRS. The car runs perfectly. Modular Powerhouse out of GA did the swap. I purchased this car off of SVTPerformance.com a few months ago. The only reason I am selling is because I just got a new job and need a full size pick-up. I have title in hand and it is free and clear from any lien.

Sounds like a nice ride. The main issues with the 03 Cobra engine has been the "tick". The "tick" sounds almost like a rocker arm that has been left loose.
See if they have any dyno charts that would show the as left A/F, lean is a very bad situation for these cars. Also ask what oil is being run in it, it should be 0 or 5W-30. Anything thicker is bad for the clearances in this engine.
A 2.80 pulley will create about 16# of boost. Without a ported SC most of these cars make 450 to 500 RWHP with the 2.80 pulley.

I will certainly ask those questions. Hopefully I will go down and check it out. Thanks alot.
