Try the dyno place you dynoed your jeep at, I just don't know how accurate/reliable they are. Anyone tuned there before?

If all it has is a pulley, he should just contact someone that sells either SCT or Diablo (Predator). I went with the Diablo on my car and the good thing is every time I make a change to my set-up, I just email the my tuner and he emails back a file to download into the car. BTW, to answer your question. Tell him to contact James Parker at www.rwtd.com. Also, there phone number is (251)479-9451.

agreed, Jarl is familiar with pretty much every system/piggyback out there.

I thought it ran pretty well, I didn't see the AF plot, but it was around mid/low 12's when he first gunned it, then went around 11.7ish to redline(on the screen readout).. looked pretty good to me..

Use a flash tuner like Steve said. Diablo Predators seem to be the most popular.

Diablo = BLOWS,the tunes are usually lean as crap which will blow your car up , SCT is the only way to go , and the only tuner that I can recommend myself is Tim Barth at ModularPowerhouse.com ........in Alpharetta GA ......he is the best bar none in the country in my opinion .....best customer service you will find anywhere , call him and tell him what the cobras got done to it so he can get you a good tune , tell him Willie in Bedford VA told you to call him ......he might give you a discount .......they have a great forum with a bunch of helpful guys on there too......here is some reading material if you have a minute .......

Mid 12s is too lean on a 03 cobra ......needs to be flatlined about 11.8

Some of the best Ford tuners in the country are in the 757..... Brent Hughes at DTP and Ed Clark. Also go with SCT software.

And here's a link to some of his work just b/c 2002blgt posted a link as well

yea, not really too lean, just borderline, too risky.. Like I posted, it was around there when he first gunned it, then riched up to around 11.7, which is pretty damn safe imo.

I guess look at the AF plot..

Oh yea, usually widebands on dyno's, stuck in the tailpipe are around .5 too lean..

I would say he is safe.
