James Furman's 1993 Cobra R
|
Once James began running 10.90s at 130 mph with a stock block, a Vortech S-trim, an F303 cam, and ported Twisted Wedge heads, he decided to save the car for the track. Getting to the next level of performance, however, would require some extra horsepower, so the car was taken to Heffner’s Performance Center in Glen Burnie, Maryland. There, a more potent engine combination was assembled using an A-4 block with a stroked Cola steel crank, Eagle rods, and Ross 8.5:1 pistons. Ported aluminum heads from Twisted Wedge were then installed with an Extrude Honed GT-40 lower, a Downs Ford Motorsport upper intake, and an Accufab 75mm throttle body. Extra cylinder pressure is now provided by a Vortech T-Trim, which is set to provide 18 pounds of boost. Job Spetter from Turbo People in Hastings, New York, programmed the DFI fuel system, which uses a 1/2-inch Cartech fuel rail, 55 lb/hr fuel injectors, and a Weldon pump. The result is a nimble factory road racer with the heart of a beast inside. View Related Article
