Help!! I need some bolt ons for my Cobra!

86StangGT · 12-04-2001, 08:49 AM

Hey, I got a white 95 Cobra that I've been having for a few months, and I've been some basic stuff to it like a 2" drop and Mac H-pipe and cat-back. Is there any other bolt ons worth adding?? I don't want to change the throttle body or Mass air meter because there is no need to. Well if anybody can help I would appreciate it!!!

well i guess u done all the freebes. u can put a cold air kit, a intake spacer and a race crank pulley , fuel pressure regulator. i know your car is heavier than my friends 93 corba but her car did a 13.20@104 with these mods

GEARS!!!!!!!!

Tim89LXvert · 12-04-2001, 01:35 PM

Here are my suggestions:

1) Gears! (like tireburner said)
2) Aftermarket shifter, makes the gears that much more enjoyable.
3) You should consider changing the TB, unlike the 93s that have a 65mm TB, the 94-95 Cobras have the same size TB as the GTs. With the GT40 heads and Cobra intake, you would see a couple HP with the larger TB.
4) Shorty headers (help those GT40s and Cobra intake breath)
5) Adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

Those mods should perk up the performance a bit without breaking your wallet.

Would shorty headers and a cold air kit make much of a difference?? I felt a nice gain in power when I put the H-pipe on and bumped my timing. My friend has a 2001 GT with some mods done to it and I took him by a car length or two. Just looking to run mid 13's in it.

I think the headers will make a decent difference because you have higher flowing heads and intakes than regular 5.0s.

If you have removed the intake silencer and installed a K&N panel in the stock airbox, I don't think you are going to see too much of an increase from a cold air kit, they sure look good though
