after 1 year, that 6k has not been realized yet. she has only paid 1800 more than you. This leaves plenty of room for the occasional bolton purchase.

your comparison starts to get extremely skewed when you have to d pistons and rod and she only has her blower ported

At least you have an aluminum block so you have 75 pounds off of the front.

Man, talk about splitting hairs, lol.

Like I said earlier though, I realize that after I buy pistons (I aquired a set of Eagle forged h-beams in trade for some of my intake parts so those are paid for so to speak) and pay to get the engine assembled, I am then in the ballpark of what a Cobra would cost.

Wow Davis brought financing into the picture. lol....

I owned a 02 supercharged yellow GT. I put ALOT of money into her both looks and muscle. Still...even procharged I got 400rwhp. Bought a much better platform and started over and I am MUCH happier with my 04 Cobra. Cobra is the best all around car and expecially for power+streetability-Shane

Shane, that is my favorite color. nice ride. do you have any more pics of the hood? i was thinking about the same thing. are the inserts painted or are they something else?

[Shane361]

As you know..alot of the Mustang were not painted under the hood blanket. So I took it off to let more heat out and bent the extractor vents off. Underneath was uggllyyy. So I had it painted underneath. I like my Stang to look different so took a chance and had the vents painted black and... I love it. $400 mod that was a great investment IMHO. Appreciate it

[95 GTS]

sick, forgive my ignorance but the vents on your heat extractor... are the original factory ones that exposed? or does the heat shield block it somewhat?

[mustangluver98]

there is normally a solid peice of plastic that somewhat block them if you don't remove it. I will see if I can find a picture of mine before we removed the plastic.

[mustangluver98]

Okay here is a pic of Xavier's Cobra and one of mine. It is the best pic that I could find to show you the difference. It is hard to see the plastic sheilds with the under hood blanket on there, but you get the idea of the amount of air that could get in before removal.

[Shane361]

And uh....I got rid of the Leathal Performance ported orange powder coated Eaton for this...

[Mr. Couper]

what is that, an Apton?lol
