[QUOTE="dragon40k, post: 10224995, member: 16245"] I've reordered it according to my opinion. I open track my cobra which is much like yours and this is the order of what I consider important. I drive like a sissy though. 1. Actually get to a track. All the other stuff is pointless if you don't do this. 2. Brake Cooling mod/ducts/fresh fluid I'd go with a more aggressive pad than hp+ though for your first 2 events or so you should be ok. 3. non staggard street tire setup. I like my Nt-05's alot. Stay away from r-comps for a while. 4. 3.400" billetflow pulley (I have a hub already with my 2.76 on the car) 5. Dyno retune for 11-11.2 AFR (currently 12.0) I still have a 2.76 on mine however if its hot you will start overheating. If i hadn't had it pullied before I started this i'd have never put it on at all. 6. SFC's or FLSFC's This is very important whether you're tracking it or not. 7. Aftermarket coolant gauge You could use the odometer trick (until the gauge is in) that shows the temp but its not that easy to read at speed. 8. 4 wheel aggressive alignment you will eat your tire edges up even WITH a good alignment. Consider some caster camber plates. 9. Rear Seat Delete losing weight is nice but the 35lbs or so you'll save isn't critical yet. 10. LFP heat exchanger and larger tank or fluid I don't know that this is important at all. Much more important to cool the engine. 11. Consider buying a different car than an 03 cobra. 12. Give up and buy a race car. Thats my 12 step program. :beer: [/QUOTE]
