Same setup here - 2.93/4# , BAP, etc. Had a Amazon e-mail tune. Car ran like crap (literally). I originally wanted to have RWTD tune it on the "dyno day", but due to parts being backordered, I missed it.
Ended up taking it to Sutton.
Sutton did a good job. Car may have more in it with a different tune.......but I am happy with the work they did and the tune.
Car put down 505rwhp and 520 TQ.

I had the same setup basically on my car, with a sutton tune, and lets just say I dont have the car anymore because the motor let go!

I see you're looking for another Cobra after you sold yours to Jeff. May I ask why you didnt just rebuild your motor ?

The engine builder said that the pistons burned up due to the tune being off. I have the pistons and three of them are pitted pretty good. This car did have proper fuel, supporting, and cooling mods.

60lb injectors
BAP
SCT 2400
SCT x-cal 2
LDC cooling mod
Heat exchanger
full exhaust
CAI

kurgan does speed incs sct stuff... id go with him for sure

 

[03CobraRed]

I chose not to rebuild for a few reasons, I had the car for sale before the motor blew because my parents needed to borrow some money from me, thats a whole other story, my dads partner stole a very large lump sum of money from us and I had no problem helping them out. I took a huge hit on the car by selling it with a blown motor but thats to be expected.

Suttons tune looked good on paper but obviously it was not at all.

 

[Wiked03]

I had a Sutton tune for well over a year and over 100 passes with no issues.

 

[03CobraRed]

Some luck out and some get bent over, like me and a few others.

Are you saying the A/F looked safe on paper but it actually wasn't?

I am part of the "bent over" club I guess, kinda of funny my car and your car has the same production dates (looked when jeff bought it), both running sutton's tunes, both have/had blown engines...

Yeah the Air fuel was about perfect on paper, but everybody I have talked to has said the motor went because of the tune, which I think as well.

Are you saying the motor died because the tune was too lean? There could be ALOT of other reasons the pistons showed the damage they did.
