    sorry should have clariffied BAB is Bright Atlantic Blue aka Bad Ass Blue. its a metcallic blue flake and its awesome BAB's is her nickname. they only make BAB for a couple years and only 812 1998 BAB Cobras were made, making it one of the rarest colors(next to the mystic's) the Cobra has ever seen

    Car ran(previous owner) 11.7@116 with 8 psi & a dieing t45 on ET streetsits at about 9-10 now a T56 & slicks so it should go low 11's with some practice

    Nice ride. I miss my 93 1/2 cobra. I'm more of an old school 5.0 (302) push rod guy vs. the newer modular engines.

    Ooooo I do love BAB Cobras. My best friend has a 96 Cobra, so I have a major softspot for the SN95 Cobras!

    What kind of power does it lay down, and what're you running for a A/F? I'm assuming she's a bit rich considering that it's non intercooled.

    Congrats on the new car, it looks like one that was for sale on SVTP not that long ago.

    It was putting down 450/410 with 8psi & the belt slipping. It now has the right belt & about 9-10 psi.

    This is my 2nd SN95 Cobra, my previous one was a bolt on 97 cobra that put down 275/271

    I own a 96 Cobra with a Paxton and 8psi, dont want to go much higher with the stock glassjaw bottom end. I run meth inlection for intercooling, tuned by Lidio puts out 400.07HP at the rear wheels. 450RWHP on 8psi is almost too good! Usually it takes 10psi on a SN95 Cobra (DOHC) toi make the 450's. Can't wait to find time to get mine back to the strip with the blower.

    Though this isn't the stock motor either, granted this dyno sheet was almost 4 yrs ago, but its only got about 5k more miles since then(weekend car) it did have the 10# pulley on but since the belt was slipping it was only making 8psi

    heres the dyno sheet

    Dyno numbers are just that.......numbers. They dont mean anything. The numbers a dyno produces (corrected-uncorrected) can and are manipulated. Its a tool used for tuning. Track times put your money where your mouth is.

    calm down buddy, again I was just stating what it should run with more boost & aftercooler. I'll admit I got a little ahead of myself with the times.
