Haha! Yeah! I got a back up pair of stock axles laying around. I bought them just Incase Ive ever needed them. I consider them my lucky charms because since new I’ve never needed to replace them “knock on wood”.Quote:

You're gonna need em.
Now just waiting on that warm weather to get it out Im sure! Have you had a chance to try it at all yet? Sure its a completely different car.
I blipped 3rd at 60 and the tires spun. The boost is instantaneous. I’ll wait for a warmer day. What I’m really enjoying is the drivability. The car idles nice and drives well. So far my favorite part. This is probably my favorite setup on the car this far. I’m glad the LFP Tb idles down and doesn’t stick.Quote:

My dragon would idle around 1500-1600 rpm sticking. Sent it back to manufacture 5 times. Best it would do was 1200 rpm and sometimes stick. I traded it on a ported welded stocker. I ask for years what people had the least problems with on the Cobra. The LFP and Gt500 by VMP had best results. I was very hesitant to buy one though.Quote:

You can’t go wrong with stock TB. I’ve had the best luck with them. Hope the LFP treats me well.
3.14xR^2 = area of a circle. valve stroke is not linear whether you are controlling flow of a liquid or gas state of matter. So as the opening metering maximum flow gets larger the more critical control of the flap position becomes. makes sense why the OEM TB would be the better option. I am battling that question as well before my next retune.
What size is the stock 2016 Mustang GT throttlebody?Quote:

Lol, single
They are rated at 1183CFM at 28” of. The 03 Cobra twin 57mm is rated at 1089 at 28”. You could probably get rough estimate on draw through supercharger system. Your probably better off seeing before and after on similar builds. Too many variables to see what kind of restriction you would have. I would think you would be fine around 600 whp on draw through system just based what I’ve seen on Cobras. Still that is just guessing. What have you guys seen on 5.0s with the stock Tb power wise on which supercharger?
It might be 0 degrees outside now but Sunday is going to be Sunny and 58. I’m going to finally get a chance to drive my Cobra.

Good to hear you are out enjoying it!
I cant wait to get mine back out come spring. May have another one out too. Just a lot slower!
