next mod

mak375 · 04-03-2003, 08:36 PM

im a poor college student who spends every dollar i can get on my 94 cobra. that being said, i dont know what i should do next with the money ill get from working over the summer (2-3k). First i am not comfortable doing more complex work on my car myself, like i installed my k&n and my pullies, but i dont think i would want to do anything much harder than that. I have done 3.73 gear, headers, x-pipe, flowmaster cat back, rear upper and lower control arms, subframe connectors, pullies, k&n, and a shifter. so in conclusion, what do you think i should add for about $2000, parts and install.

possibes: port and pollish intake (anyone know a good place for this?) computer mod (heard its not a good idea to get this if i might go with a charger) drag rads (opinions on places to order these?)

PS i would welcome any other options too, please be specific in places to order parts (include website, or phone num or something)

THANKS

Sorry man it looks like you have pretty much done all of the easy stuff.

If I were you I would go with a cam next. Find a friend that knows what he is doing and slap in a cam.

Also an ECU upgrade would be a good idea and its easy to do.

Later,

About the only other real easy bolt-on would be a C&L mass air meter & inlet pipe. Only drawback is that you will have to give up your K&N b/c the C&L kit comes w/ a cone style.

You could also add a nitrous kit. Or, for $2K, get some heads and a mild cam.

i have cold air induct too, i forgot to mention.

i know i have most of the easy bolt ons done, thats why i need help. I am not opposed to having some of the more difficult things done by a shop, but i just need to keep that added into the total cost.

how much do C&L's run, what about a TB?
ECU upgrade? how much do those cost and do you know of any places that sell them?

Here's what I would do:

- Save up a little more money and do the whole heads/cam/roller rockers/intake thing in one shot. After this your car will feel like it has a whole new motor in it!

Do some searching on this site and you'll find some good threads on H/C/I combos that work well together.

Good luck,
E

the only problem with saving is i only work during the summers, so i would have to wait for an entire year before i can save any more. also ive been trying to stay away form some of the engine mods.
How about NOS? how much would be a good amount to get, that is also EXTREMELY safe? how much would that cost?
