Cobra update.......7 1/2 year build saga continues......:-(
 
Well, the body is back off and I hope to take it to Orlando Saturday morning for a 1030am tuning appointment:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Saturday arrives;
Well, it was a hell of a day, to say the least.......got there about 50 minutes late, got started about 215, took him a while to get the timing set and the microtech settings done, thought I had a major exhaust leak from the drivers side manifold but it turned out to be the hole in the front of the head that I fartgot to plug .....damn near burned a hole in the rear of the power steering pump then he started on the Turbos......spent about an hour trying to get boost, could only make 1 pound then he discovered that I had left an important piece out when I installed the waste gates......DUOH .......ended up leaving it there on the Dyno and have to go back Monday morning to finish it up **)**)**)**)

Monday arrives;
Well, it was another "FRUSTRATING" day at CFT for me, all though the Crew was GREAT.......They worked their butts off trying to get me up and running right only to find out the TURBOS are TOO BIG.......go figure.....SIze does matter....LOL....oh well, back to the drawing board for now!!!! Oh, and then, when we were loa...ding the trailer came unhooked and ran into the back of my truck, now I have a nice DING in my tailgate.........:-(

Doesn't sound like anything that more beer cannot fix. ;)

Sorry to hear of all the issues. Hope you can get them worked out soon.

Sound like a pretty neat deal Earl! Congrats!
