My friend took his cobra to a dyno and the dude there said that the mods put on his car aren't giving the car the full power because his computer doesn't recognize the new power gains and still "thinks" its stock. Is this true? The dude said that he will need a custom chip to get the power he should be getting from his mods. He's got a 4.6 cobra and I also have the 4.6 motor so I don't really understand this stuff. Anyone have any input on this or is the dude just tryin to sell a freakin chip and get some money?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Alex <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ray95</b> <br /><small>Member # 752</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,25,10,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What mods does the cobra have.
