BradyPPC Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 We recently had this 03 Cobra brought to us for a custom tune. It was equipped with a ported factory blower, an intake, and exhaust. The main focus on the car was to make sure it was safe and improve driveability. The car was also close to pegging the mass air meter and and the fuel pump. Both had a little bit of room left but the owner wanted to be proactive, so we went ahead and added a Mafia and a boost-a-pump to address those 2 issues to give us some added protection for a cool day and also buy us some headroom on the fuel pump duty cycle. The upgrades would also allow for more boost in the future if the owner ever wanted swap pulleys as well. http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6684&g2_serialNumber=2 http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6691&g2_serialNumber=2 http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6694&g2_serialNumber=2 http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6697&g2_serialNumber=2 The car made good power and we were able to pick up a nice gain in tq across the entire rpm range compared to the previous tune the car had been running http://pickupspluscars.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6703&g2_serialNumber=2 The owner was really pleased with the results of the car after we were finished with it. While we did pick up a decent amount of power, the thing he said he was most impressed with was the improved driveability of the car. On the previous tune the car would buck and surge if you tried to hold it steady in a 25 mph zone. The car always felt like it was either in too high of a gear or too low. There was no in between. Now you can cruise the car through those 25mph zones nice and smoothly just like you could when the car was stock. The owner also commented that the was more responsive and the new tune eliminated the shfiting hesitation issue he had on the old tune. For us, those types of responses are what makes doing this enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Looks good. A BAP and MAF (or MAFia) should always be one of the first mods to Cobras, especially when you do anything with the blower. Good work and nice decision making on getting the owner a safe and reliable tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On these cars, too much is the better alternative to not enough. We keep the Mafia's in stock for all of the 96-04, and the 05-10 cars and now that we are a Kenne Bell dealer, we keep the single and dual bap's in stock as well.
