Congrats on the Cobra!! ...I would stick with the power lever you have first & get use to the car...then after a year I'd go full force!

Any Pics??

...Our '04 RagTop has a 2.81" pulley & made 14 psi on the Dyno with an unported Eaton...Yours is ported, so you might be making a few more #'s of boost!! ....Sounds like a nice set-up you have!

How do the 4.10's feel?

So you're telling me that you have a ported eaton on the car, and it's not even tuned for it? Since the last time it was on the dyno, it had the stock eaton, I assume that I am correct... Get that thing tuned before it blows up...

First thing I would do would be get it dyno tuned asap, and then after looking at your pics, lose those "Ebay" euro tail lights!

...I guess I missed the tune part!!!!! ...+1, get the Cobra to a Dyno ASAP and stay out of the throttle until then!

Love
the 4.10's!! Hate the tail lights, have stock lights, going to vinyl tint them tonight. For the price and condition, the tails were the lease of my worries! And I'm getting a tune asap!! Just wanted so opinions! I know damn well it's needs tuned!! Who would pay 1k for the porting and toss er back on and not re dyno tune?? It will be done asap but should I get my boost a pump in before the tune?
