Damn Car is Sandbagging on me!

a 93 cobra long block should have gt40 heads. the stock intake,exhaust & gear are holding it back. replace the upper & lower intake with a cobra,gt40 or aftermarket intake, next install some aftermarket headers & free flowing mufflers, than install at least a 3.55 gear

Marauder,

It can't be the same problem because mine didn't pull like a mule, it ran like a pig. Totally gutless. Turned out to be the coil AND a bad mass-air sensor, and possibly the computer.

Is it in fact a Cobra long block or did the dealer just say it was? Because you know dealers... they'll tell you anything, and most of the time they don't even know what they're telling you.

If it is GT-40 motor, the regular 5-oh intake can't be helping the GT-40 heads, and neither would the 2.73 gears. Maybe that's your problem. Patrick '93 Cobra '83 LTD

Well, I'm getting 40 Series installed in just a few hours. We'll see what happens from there.

I'm pondering going with a TMoss Ported Lower intake as the next step. Anyone have one on their 5.0 ??

I really can't say 100%. This is the 4th car I've bought from this particular dealer, and he's always been straight up with me in the past.

I know for sure that it's NOT stock. I've driven a few 5.0s in the past, and this one is a FREAK!!

I don't know really how to gauge the power. I know it's a REAL subjective determination going by SOTP. I haven't had time yet to get times on it from the track yet either.

All I know is that (for a car that has 2.73 gears) to be able to "Light Em Up" at 20MPH (in 1st gear) is something else!

What do you think it may have based on that ??
