I'm not a Terminator owner, but I'm gonna say AED is a wise choice for your local tuning needs...

AED tuned my 92 several times and did an excellent job [patriot]

I know they do tons of cobras.

BTW.. don't judge a tuner by the price they charge. The price you pay for saving a few bucks on a "cheap" tune could be your motor [Smile]

I have an 04 cobra. yes they used a front fan. I think it was around 300.00 or so for the tune.

You need to bring it by and let me take it around the block once..... never gotten to drive a Terminator yet!

AED has worked on and tuned a couple of my cars now, including my 03 Cobra. They do great work and provide exceptional customer service. My Cobra makes 620 at the tires and driveability is better than stock. At $400 they are a great value... I put my car on a flatbed to AED everytime it needs work, no one else in the area will touch it.

ahaha.. Ill probably have you cut the linear springs a bit if you ever get the time. lol

The guy is taking it in to get a clutch job next week so im waiting on that and trying to scoop up some extra money for a bigger down payment.

$400 sounds pretty decent. Ill definitely have to take it there. The car makes 448RWHP/435RWTQ right now on a very safe tune. I'll probably take it in after i get the blower ported. Terminator guys. Posi or Steig?????

posi for sure...lots of controversy over steig these days for their stage 5 port failures and how they're poorly dealing w/ the issue. just know these motors arent cheap to work on so it would be a good idea to spend the extra bucks upfront to have it inspected to ensure the motor in healthy. keep in mind, its not uncommon to spend anywhere from 6k to 10k for a rebuild on these motors.

I was thinking posi aswell since ive read alot about steigs failures on the stage 5.

This cobra was very well kept. The original owner took very good care of it and daily drove it 55k. The other 2 owners kept up with it very well too. Previous owner ran a compression test and all cylinders where 175 across give or take a few. So thats pretty cool.
