I covered all that in detail in the Track Tips sticky.

Talked to a guy at SHM and told him I have a 97 cobra with K&N and offroad X pipe, and was asking about power gains with cams. He said with my setup I should see 50-60rwhp with their Stage 2 cams, throttle body and longtubes. How cool would that be?

The longtubes would be half of that gain, and the throttle body would be a whopping 3 rwhp. You're wasting your time talking with SHM. They make some good shit, but it comes with a serious pricetag and the worst customer service in the business. If you stick to the stuff that I (and others) contributed, you'll make more power for cheaper. Cams will definately wake the car up, but don't waste money on them until you've run out of other options.

The stock ones are pretty decent, but a few cheap and effective parts that would help them are steel-braided front brake lines and some Hawk or Performance Friction brake pads.
Love the suspension tech info--I learned quite a bit. Just curious--are Panhard bars worth mentioning?

I'll be picking up a new addition to my corral this Thursday that will benefit from the knowledge gained here...the shifter will be the first mod fosure
