Mystic: You need to really learn somethings about your car. First off, ALL 2003/2004 Cobra/Mach 1's can have this problem. The updated heads weren't produced until January 2005, so unless you spent the $1200.00 on the new updated heads, you do not have the "fix"... blue stripe or not. Second, yes the bottom half of the motor is pretty damn stable... but the top half is not, you will grenade your motor doing 170mph runs. The car isn't made for those type of runs. I have seen people bone stock, and people with as little as a pulley grenade their motor doing that. There are a few different things you really need to do to help the cooling on your motor. The heat on the motor is what blows them apart. If you need anymore confirmation go read some old posts at svtperformance.com. Third, doing 170mph runs on public streets is just flat out stupid. We all race, and im not going to call you stupid for racing - because im not a hypcrite. BUT... doing 170mph runs is just flat out dumb. All that needs to happen is you get a groove in the road, or a tire blow out.. your tires probably aren't even rated for those speeds... It's like playing russian roulette. ...Keep running your motor, and you will have a rebuild.. maybe sooner, maybe later, but it won't be to long. I'll put the deed to my home on that. Fyi... just in case you don't believe me about when the "fix" was actually available.. http://stangshiftergaskets.com/2003_2004faqs.htm#_Toc35092316
