Easy way to add HP?

Like olddog already suggested, your current EFI if speed density based, will require adjustments for any atmospheric changes to maintain its tune. If you have a speed density based system that can also supports a Mass Air Flow (MAF) fueling model you would be much better off with the MAF based fueling model. The MAF based fueling model automatically adjusts to changing ambient air conditions. From Denver to Death Valley you don't have to do anything but drive the car.

If you decide to go to the MAF based fueling model you will need to get a MAF sensor. If your engine is basically stock you can use one of Ford's sensors for your style engine. Otherwise you need to go aftermarket.

If you go aftermarket the best sensor choices come from Pro-M Racing. Pro-M was started by a Ford calibration engineer that was involved in Ford's original decision and deployment of mass air based systems. Each Pro-M sensor is flowed at Pro-M and provided with a MAF map for your tuner. The signals are cleaner by an order of magnitude than other commercial alternatives.

When most of the current aftermarket suppliers of MAFs began offering products the firm that did the MAF calibration for them was Pro-M. The Pro-M MAF you would want for your application is this one => Pro-M 80.

If your current EFI does not support a MAF based fueling model and you want to go there, the Pro-M guys also sell model specific and universal self learning EFI systems based on a Ford factory racing ECU, click here => Pro-M EFI Universal Hot Rod System.

There is a fairly good used market for FAST systems. If your FAST system does not support MAF based fueling and you want to go there, you can sell your existing FAST system put the money towards your MAF based system and reduce the cost of conversion.

Cool, thanks for the info. Car is running great. I'll share this with my mechanic and see what he has to say.

Yeeeeesssssss!! ....but there will be the blow off noise that sounds like a jet engine when letting off WOT or setting your speed before hard cornering or basically any other time, lol. No one seems to care really. When properly tuned it will run like a Bat out of Hell. Raced Lambo's and Ferraris four times the cost or more and hung with all of them.

2 years and counting and no detenation only head snapping power. Before install 400 HP. After atleast 200 or more.... smoke tires in 1,2,3,4 gear.

Note:Everything installed myself. With the right tools and know how will take two weeks to do when considering that I had to work at least 4 days out of each week. If I did again, one week. If you are skerd have a pro do it.

Note2: I chose this route cause I didnt want to mess with yanking the engine, getting rid and an engine, mating tranny up to it or upgrading trannny. Hoping new engine would fit and gosh a million other reasons. Roots vein blower wont fit, trust me. In past posts I said when it breaks things I'll upgrade. Well I think after two years of having a blast the Differential might have had it. I told my wife its time for a 427 Clevor ha! Anyone want to buy my setup?

Anyway, Torqstorm blower took some coaxing to fit but it worked. Had to upgrade a few things that I think every cobra owner should do regardless of adding a blower or otherwise, like Aeromotive fuel supply and return system with braided hoses and fittings (made and installed all of them myself).

Quickfuel Blow through carb a must. Understand Carb basics. Can have an expert set it up but you will have to still tune yourself to get ideal performance. Have yet to put on Dyno but thats next when I can find the time.

Right temp and gapped spark plugs. Know how to read plugs. Pretty cool.

Have a good timing gun to set timing.

In retro spect Probably should have a Air Fuel Mix bung and gauge installed to tune, I didn't. May do that before taking to Dyno.

Totally worth it if you dont want to mess with yanking and pulling and squeezing. Man I gotta keep this PG. Dont let the "No replacement for displacement " comments discourage you. I have run up against them and my car sounds as good if not better, in fact they had no idea and would say holy smokes that sounds good. Of course I am running glass packs lol!

I'm out *** poof***

Now that is pretty impressive.
