Just wanted to share my 99 Cobra build so far.
I picked it up last year. I decided to scrap my fox project and put the forged 4V in this car instead. It's getting full MM coil overs, K-member, control arms, CC plates up front. Rear it has now 98 SRA with 31 spline axles, 3.55 gears, torque arm pan hard bar and adjustable sway bar and adjustable lower control arms. It has the Lethal return style fuel system that's good up to 1000hp. It's currently in Fresno at Speed Engineering having a custom single turbo setup built. Steve at Speed Engineering is a great fabricator and will do great work. I will post pictures of the setup once complete.
It was a
44mm Tial waste gate
Tial BOV
Precision Billet Wheel T71mm turbo
Treadstone TR12 intercooler.
I plan on updating this once it is complete with the pics of the build for now I just want to share one of the forward facing headers that a friend of mine at a local shop is doing for my 99 Cobra. It's obviously not finished but when it's done I'm sure it will look great. here are a few pics of my build.

Good progress man, that looks good and it sounds like it's come along way.

What happened to your foxbody ?

I wasn't able to get the electrical to work the way I wanted so I decided to swap everything that I could over to the Cobra and put the fox back to stock. I will just save it for my 13 year old so when he turns 16.

It's been a long project with all the stuff he's had to do. But It's finally coming to a close. And we are shooting to start it by the end of this month. He's building a tank for the meth system next week and should be finishing the wiring as well.

Posted by VADEl2 (Member # 10332) on :

Car is up and running and will be getting tuned today. Only has 120 miles on the motor. So we are planning to be gentle.

Posted by VADEl2 (Member # 10332) on :

We weren't able to finish the tune today so it will be button up tomorrow. Nathan at AOP got it to 714rwhp on 17lbs of boost on 16 degrees of timing so far. running an 11.0 a/f on meth. We think we can get to 750rwhp without pushing the car to much further.

Goal was just to hit 700rwhp. Eventually I might upgrade but for now if we can hit 750rwhp on 91 I'm good. Them will work on a race tune.

Posted by VADEl2 (Member # 10332) on :

Ok we just finished the tune. Final numbers 702 rwhp and 615rwtq on 16lbs of boost with 17 degrees of timing. After a few thousands miles we will go with 20-25lbs and race gas to see what it can do. Thanks to Nate at AOP for dialing it in.

Yeah I can't complain it sounds and feels awesome. The rxt clutch is incredible.

Posted by VADEl2 (Member # 10332) on :

updated I decided to have a small system installed as the car had no stereo or speakers in it.
