If it allowed me to get my hands in the engine bay? It would be totally worth it.
Besides, a Vette with 600 or 1000 HP; going to run the same at the track ;)

They look good, were you having engine temp issues?
It would get to 215 if i got stuck in traffic on a 95 degree day. Just trying to prevent a future issue. I have a few more tricks i can do. Im going to cut the bumper support so its not blocking half the intercooler. Then im going to box it in making it stronger than before. It'll have to wait cause the car goes into tuning the 16th.
Looks nice! Im sure your ready to get back into it and make some passes! Im sure it will be nasty as hell!
It's been a long wait. Too bad they couldn't get me in before the shootout. Maybe its a good thing. Im either going to break record or break parts.
If your luck is like mine, it will be parts!
I wish I could've been out more this year. Its been a rough one.
You need to update your project thread. I haven't heard much about your Cobra this year.Quote:

Based on personal experience I wouldn't have it any other way.Quote:

Then I put it on the ground and loaded it to get tuned.

Should make well north of a couple hundred horses Id say!!!
The bumper was huge! Im sure that will help out a lot!
It should flow allot more air through it now. Keep the IAT's down.Quote:

No reason to pay someone to take the fenders back off and possibly damaging them. They are going back on the car.
I think my sarcasm was lost in the text.
