23 deg is what Ed told me, too.

Good Lord! My timing is at 19 and may get dropped a little more if I keep seeing 16psi

But you have to remember the 03/04 cobras have low compression (8.5:1) so they can run more timing.

Yea most tuners I know think that 23* is the sweet spot for these cars. However, the 24# guys are running about 19*.

Gen 2 Lightnings are 8.4:1 and 19 degrees timing is a LOT on one of those. Speaking of Pump Gas only, race fuel you can kick it up a little more.

That's not alot of timing for that compression, the usual is 22-24 degrees on cobras but the lightnings don't have forged rods so they have to be more careful.

New numbers with RWTD tune...

470 rwhp, 507 rwtq

Greg03Cobra · 02-26-2006, 12:18 AM

Those are some good numbers man. I like the way your car sounded on the dyno.

TheJeanyus · 02-26-2006, 01:08 AM

Thanks.

I was really impressed with the torque. I didn't think it would break 500. My guess of 495 was being optimistic.

Craig K. · 02-26-2006, 08:22 AM

geeez thats some crazy numbers.

What kind of milage are you still able to get on the highway with the tune (if you've had a chance to check yet)?
