New Cobra owner want "bang for the buck" suggestions!!

daveGT · 04-08-2003, 05:16 PM

Guys,

I'm picking up my '99 Cobra this weekend. It's only performance mod is a Bassani X pipe. I'm new to the 4V 4.6 engine, but I hear it responds very well to bolt-ons.

What are the best bang for the buck modifications? I don't want any power adders, I want to keep it N/A. Throttle body? Air meter? Filter?

Thanks, everyone.

Here is what you want. "Trust me on this"

Get polyurethane bushings for the rear
Get an 03 cobra pinionbrace.

Then drop a k&n filter in the stock air box and buy the FR 500 cat back. It adds 10 HP at the wheels and cost $650.00

Then throw in some 4.30 gears and even the 03' cobra will eat your dust.

I have thoroughly researched this subject,

Oh yeah leave the air silencer in there my car ran slower without it.
