I really like to see the 93 Cobra's. The engine I run in my Mustang is the GT-40 engine which is basically the same as yours with the exception of a carb and 1.6 rocker arms. Are you going to use a 5 speed trans?

No, I will use my Jerico for the now.

Rock,

Just take the servo off and use a cable with a TPS. One magnet on the drive shaft would be a nice improvement, it would give the rest of us [cable people] a better chance against the computer.

Does it shift for you too?

Jheath no supercharger for the 2010 4.6 CJ. Just a small throttle body and intake.

Larry,

I'm starting to sound like Charlie...lol

but I'm not aware of the driveshaft magnets...our Racepak has driveshaft magnets...but I haven't hooked them to the fuel injection yet....lol...go over and look at Bo Butners car at Norwalk or Chicago....if that's the car you're unhappy with....no servo no magnets....?

I don't think the servo could move the throttle as fast as Bo was on most of his runs......lol....

where are you getting your info from.....come and see us in Norwalk

Ed,
I have a Bluetooth interface that hooks up to the OBDII port under the dash.

Yep, I know a couple younger racers that run a real quick F-Body...And I have seen the "mechanic" control the pass with a smart phone. Computers are hell.Some of the young racers are genius with those computer controlled cars.

You simply do not know what you are talking about.
Somebody was pulling your leg, or your trying to pull ours.

Mr. Ed,
With todays technology; Why wouldn't it be possible? I don't know if they are really controlling the car..Just what was said and what I saw; Hell I'm computer illiterate: But, the computer geeks say it is possible, and they know alot more about that stuff than you and I do. And no, Ed, I'm not on drugs.
