Default few general termi questions

1. does that nice sweet blower sound come stock? or is it when you guys do pulley swaps and what not?

What's all involved in doing a pulley swap? what are some of the cheap must-do mods when you first get one? what are some easy hp gains?

thanks guys, i figured you were the experts

1. Yes..factory sound!
Pulley swap not that hard, just need a pulley puller....and more then likely a new belt + tune! ....I pretty much went from a 12.9 to a 12.09 with a pulley, CB & CAI change if that helps....

the whine is there with the stock pulley but it gets louder once you pulley it

I'm currently running a BF 2.93" (but I plan on putting on the 2.76" BF come spring with new tune)...I think the stock is 3.65"

well im surprised i can say this before mustang3gt but you need the BF irs brace from lethal performance if you are wanting to launch your cobra and put some beefy tires on it...exhaust is a nice mod for sound helps performance alittle

i think the wheel hop is more dangerous than the torqueing the rear end to death... in saying that they make stiffer bushing which are on order for my car, also irs bracket will stop the flexing of it and full lenght subframes will also help the torgue(weld in)
