Modifying stock cobra

[fearthesnake]

If you have around $10K in disposable income...

ok so far what I'm going to get will be:

1. kb or whipple Supercharger
2. CAI (JLT)
3. IRS brace
4. Subframe connectors
5. catback
6. pulley (do i still need this with a new supercharger?)
7. NOS setup if I have any extra money

Definitely do 1,2,3 and add a upgraded Clutch(Spec 3), 26 Spline Input shaft,60 lb Injectors, SCT Big Air MM, KB Boost A Pump(BAP). If you do # 1 you will need these supporting mods with the KB or Whipple. As well as Exhaust(X-Pipe/Catback-preferred). But before you do this pls find a reputable Tuner in your area you can trust.

This will take care of the $10K.....

Go to Billetflow.com for the IRS brace.
Also you don't need the livewire tuner and SCT chip. Buy one or the other, I'd buy a SCT XCalibrator 2.

Do a search on mods. Most do upgrades in the following order (CAI..... Catback.......then pulley + tune)

dude he has 10k to spend...


ken bell to start.. mahaha

 

[04MystiCobra]

Give a vendor a call. They may cut you a break on pricing.:beer:

 

[SCcobra4me]

Could someone explain the differance between a catback and a midpipe. I wan looking at www.americanmuscle.com and to me, not knowing that much about exhaust, the midpipe and catback kits look the same.

:nonono: :nonono: :bash: :bash: oke: oke:

 

[TeddyKGB]

There are some great lists here and you can see many mods have been repeated by just about everyone. The only other thing I would add is that I wouldn't get too far down the road before I did supporting mods like cooling and chassis (subframes, irs brace, springs). I wouldn't want to dump a bunch of money into the car and then hurt it because I am making more power than my car can safely handle.

No reason to burn up a piston or tear out your IRS.

Thank you guys you've all been a really great help! I'm now confident enough to buy the parts I will need. When i get home from work I'll do one last final listing of what I'm going to get. Thank you to everyone who helped me and you've all made my life a ton easiar!

If you have been driving it completely stock, then going to a CAI/Midpipe/Catback/Pulley/SCT with custom tune would probably make you smile.

The above mods are roughly $1500 and would bring you somewhere up to the 425-450rwhp range. Maybe start with that, and then if you crave more buy a different supercharger.

 

[04MystiCobra]

Red Tutle has a good point. You're going to jump 200+ rwhp going by that list. Nothing wrong with that but its not even going to come close to being the same car! Hope you've driven a car with that much horsepower AND torque! One things for sure, you wont look back!
Cant say it enough. Hit up a vendor. They will hook you up price wise.:beer:

 

[mth180]

Good idea mysticobra Anyone know any particularly good retailor? I'm assuming lethal, because it's posted in the boards. But any other?

 

[mth180]

Should i get a new FPDM with the fuel pumps? It's another 200 dollars and I don't know if i will need them. Thanks guys!

Yeah, but you have to walk before you can run.:-D To go from zero mods to a KB is unreal - probably kill himself.
