    The BADCOBRA rolls....

    Some major progress happening with the Cobra now. The new solid axle is in place. Fuel tank with new pumps and modified hat set up for return style is bolted back in. The heads just came back from the machine shop, assembled minus the custom cams. The intake, valve covers, water pump, tensioner, 200A alternator, and other misc parts are all at the polishers shop getting polished. The front timing cover is getting powdercoated black. It's going to look incredible under the hood with the polished and jet-hot coated turbos and all the piping. Everything is on track for the car to be done next month, and driven to WFC 9 to hopefully get a magazine feature.

    Here are some pics of the rear end and parts. The rear end will get painted before I get the car back. Also, all the torque box seams will be welded up.

    Wolfe Sway Bar...will keep the tires planted even and make it go straight.


    Wolfe Spherical axle housing bushings. The rear end will have almost zero bind with these.....


    Wolfe torque box plates...these reinforce the lower torque boxes.


    QA1 adjustable rear shocks....

                  They only really benefit a car making 500+ HP/TQ. Not sure what you have, but just an FYI

                    hmm, i might have to look into one this year. I am going to be really close to the 500 hp level and should be over it for tq.

                      Have someone snaps of pics with your wheels in the air on launch. If the front left is higher than the right, then you will benefit.

                          front left lifts more then front right. so i think i would benefit.
