Since the Cobra's Four-Valve engine is already potent from the factory, Tim chose to accentuate its performance with a Western Motorsports high-velocity air intake and a Nitrous Express Ford EFI nitrous kit. To get the air out, he added Hooker long-tube headers, a custom H-pipe, and a Flowmaster after-cat. As if 450 hp at the tires wasn't enough, Tim added a single Precision Turbo 76mm with a front-mount intercooler, 60-lb/hr injectors, and an SCT BA 2800 mass air meter to go for the 600hp mark. It's not making that power yet, as he needs to bring the Cobra's fuel system up to the task of supporting it. He plans to remedy that with twin Bosch fuel pumps. Behind the Four-Valve is a Hanlon Motorsports T45 designed to handle anything Tim can throw at it. For clutch duty, CJ Pony Parts' Bill Tumas fixed him up with a special concoction including a McLeod Kevlar disc with an FRPP heavy-duty pressure plate and a stock flywheel.
