going to need injectors, maf, and BAP or maybe a new fuel system depending upon how far you push it.

A IRS cover wouldn't be bad

Clutch.... Will end up costing well over a grand if you do an input shaft.

SFCs

I agree with the above. I'd start with the little things like mentioned above that will support the future hp goals. Clutch, diff cover, and subframe connectors. Some of this stuff you can tell the wife needs replacing.

bdubbs next time you are in mpls area let me know
i would like to pick your brain a little :rolling:

Sure thing dude, I don't get there all too often. I just had a guy come from St. Cloud come to New Ulm for a new hood blanket he bought from me. We talked for a bit, I enjoy talking with other cobra owners!

Injectors - make sure to size according to if your going to go e85 or not
SCT handheld if you don't already have one
2600 or larger SCT MAF or MAFia
Larger single blade throttle body
BAP and wire upgrade depending on how you plan to setup your fuel system
New clutch - 600whp will roast your stocker
Head cooling mod

R.D.P. Pretty much summed it up for you. I spent more money on items getting my car ready for the twin screw than I actually spent on the blower. Gotta pay to play, but don't cut corners or cheap out, it'll bite you if you do. Lots of $ can be saved looking around the Market place. Read other guys builds, you'll soon get a feel for what you gotta have depending on goals. Good luck, getting it all together and the anticipation is the fun part I think.

Also don't forget a wideband and gauge.

I prefer the aeroforce on a column pod. I only have the one aeroforce and can monitor boost AFR and many other things without a ton of gauges.
