Not Ranked
First real outing - few questions
Hi guys,
living in Germany and being the proud owner of SPF#1385 (460 / TKO), I took my blue/white baby for a nice spin yesterday. Fortunately, we had hardly any snow in Bavaria this year and no salt on the streets anymore.
I am trying to do as much research as possible on my Cobra, but the information sources are somewhat limited here. Therefore, many thanks to this forum.
- how high can/should I rev the 460 SVO cobrajet engine while doing a sporty acceleration run ?
- which diff did SPF build in 1998/1999 and to what percentage is it locking. Is it still the ZF 3.45:1 ?
- How do you start a cold engine? I dont find a choke (I feel like a dummy for this question)
- our highest octance gas is 98 with 10% bio-ethanol. Do I need to use additives ?
- under light breaking, I feel a light chatter from the front. Is that normal with the wilwood brakes/rotors. Are there any better pads ?
- the TKO tranni is rated with 375 torque, but the 460 has quite a bit more. Why is that, should I upgrade ?
Sorry for the long list, but a few things raise some questions and I dont want to mess anything up since I saved almost 10 years for this baby,
Thanks in advance
Jürgen W.
