Upgrades

[snake428CJ]

I am aquiring a 1999 Cobra from my father soon and am looking to upgrade. I was planning on putting a catback exhaust from Magnaflow and a short throw shifter. What else should I get in what order for the best gains? The car is completely stock and I intend on keeping the IRS for some corner carving fun.

Billetflow rearend brace, 4.30's, and some DR's would be a good start. Gears really help the N/A 4 valves. Aside from the wheelhop you will like the IRS as long as it doesn't brake. I install some Maximum Motorsports full length subframe connectors(which is another good mod for you to consider) and have almost gotten rid of all my wheelhop.

WOW...... For once.... Exactly what JROC said.

And you'll love the Magnaflows on that high revving 4V.

Is there anything else I should look into? I was thinking of putting some JBA headers a twin 65mm TB plus a K&N FIPK. I'm looking at possibly getting pulleys as well

If you can afford JBA headers, you should just go ahead and get a Sean Highland Racing 4V longblock.


That sounds like a good start, just be sure and get a tune for it. Matter of fact, go ahead and find you a good programmer like the XCAL and you can kill several birds with one stone.
