i'm lookin to get the most power out of my 99 cobra without a power adder. Is there much i can do or should i just put a super/turbo on it and be happy?

I found that making my GT breathe alot better that it freed up alot of power.

I am putting x-pipe on tommorrow.

If you don't have gears already, that is one of the best mods for the high-revving Cobras. 4.10s or 4.30s is what I've heard recommended. Underdrives always help too. If you wanted to get crazy, I believe Sean Hyland motorsports makes camshafts that would really boost your top end and make your wallet much lighter (less weight = better acceleration ;-))

All depends on what your goals are. Are you looking for something more drag racing oriented? Mostly street driving, road race, etc...

For Cobras the only way to go is 4.30's or 4.56's. In addition to what you have I'd say go with a set of underdrive pullies, timing adjuster. There are a few guys with Cobras and these basic bolt-ons in the low 12's NA on BFG drag radials or slicks.

I've also heard some good things about Houston Performance. They do head porting and also sell cams to match. They are at www.houstonperformance.com
