Ok guys. As you all know I was supposed to get my 4# lower installed and tuned today. However, it still hasnt arrived in the mail. I was planning on going to Mustang Magic anyway so I decided to do some other installs because I am a very impatient person and NEED MORE MODS. haha
Ok here are the parts:
-Autometer Boost Gauge with Steering Wheel Column Pod
-Ignition Solutions Plasma Coil Booster (boost a spark)
-UPR Clutch Quadrant and Firewall Adjuster
The installs were completed in less than 2 hours and here is the results:
My clutch is 10X stiffer now with the clutch quadrant set at the middle adjustment. It grips perfectly in the middle however its gonna take some time getting used to the new feel. With this addition combined with my pro-5.0 shifter the car is really starting to feel like a race car. It shifts like butter and this clutch quadrant only spiced things up a bit for me.
The boost gauge is absolutely pristine except for the fact that I found out my cobra only makes 10.5 psi across the upper rpms. I should be at 12.5 psi with my 2.93 upper. It could be the gauge is off, but whatever its not a big deal. I am very satisfied with my current hp/tq numbers. I have pictures of the gauge setup at the end of this post.
Finally, the plasma booster believe it or not made a SOTP difference in performance. Not power-wise, but smoothness in the upper rpms. My upper power band would usually be hesitant and stumble up to 6200rpm. The plasma booster completely smoothed out the car all the way up to the redline under WOT. You can feel and hear a difference. As far as horsepower and torque, I didnt expect any gains from this product but feel that I might have gained a few ponies. My car idles much better now and doesnt stumble AT ALL. It also cleaned up a little surge/hesitation problem I was having under cruising conditions from 1500 to 1900 rpms. The problem still remains but the plasma booster made it much less apparent. So all in all I am very happy with the results of this coil/spark booster.
As always Mustang Magic did an excellent job. :beerchuggThanks to Joe and the Crew: It was a fun day today and I love blowing my hard earned cash on mods for my cobra. Here are some pics of the gauge and my car today:
