I'm an avid and experienced track junkie. I recently purchased a 2003 Cobra, bone stock and want to take it to the track. I run cars pretty hard at the track so I want to make sure I've done whatever mods are recommended for keeping the car happy (usually meaning "cool").
For now, the only power upgrades are Steeda CAI and Steeda Catback. Other mods going on the car before hitting the track:
- brake ducts
- diff cooler
- Torsen T2R
- SRF brake fluid
- braided brake lines
- PF race pads
- Steeda full length subrace connectors
- Steeda 3 point strut tower brace
- Steeda IRS subframe bracket
- Steeda springs
- Steeda camber/caster plates
- Steeda bumpsteer kit (front and rear)
- Canton oil pan and windage tray
- Hood vents mod
- Nitto NT01 275/17 tires on stock wheels
I typically run 30 min sessions, sometimes 45 min. I drive mainly at Seattle and Portland tracks, so summer temps in the 80's and 90's.
Do I need anything else with this setup? Is a H/E a must have?
How about if I want to run a 2.83 pulley?
I see people upgrading the H/E, radiator and the reserve tanks for both. At what point are these necessary?
Thanks in advance,
Pete
