Under the '95 Cobra R hood...
Under the '95 Cobra R hood breathes an MV Performance-built Two-Valve boasting Trick Flow Street Heat heads and intake. The Trick Flow items are allowed for NMRA Real Street action, but porting is not allowed. However, the Trick Flow items flow markedly better than the factory castings, which helps when you have a ProCharger P-1SC II shoving 17 pounds of boost into the mix. The Trick Flow items make for an efficient path before exiting via Ford Racing Performance Parts short-tube headers and a Bassani X-shape crossover and mufflers. Dave's engine swap history is the opposite of most engine swappers. He's put a Four-Valve engine into a Two-Valve car with his former Saleen, and a Two-Valve engine into a Four-Valve car with his Real Street Cobra.

The interior of Dave's Cobra...
The interior of Dave's Cobra appears all-race thanks to a Team Z Motorsports roll cage, Kirkey Racing seats, and Auto Meter gauges in a custom panel. A shift light reminds Dave when to shift, while his eyes also must peer into an Innovate Motorsports wideband to make sure air/fuel readings stay optimal. The passenger-side airbag cover hides an MSD Digital DIS-4 and the computer featuring an MV Performance-manipulated DiabloSport tune.
