i would say if you got the cash the kb is the next step for sure, it will deffinitly give you the biggeest hp increase.

What about longtubes and gears

+1 for the KB. They've got some new models out that are pretty nasty.

btw - cams and new heads are ALWAYS worth it. Plus youll sound mean as hell.

+1 to coiled serpant too. Longtubes and some 4.10s with that 6 speed will do you a great deal against those vettes.

most people i have talked to including shop owners say that headers just arne't worth the pain of the install on the 03-04 cobras, too much work since you have to unbolt the motor and either pull it or at least jack the rear of it in order to tip it forward enough to have access. a real PITA.

You could get a Whipple or a Kenne Bell. For a lot less you could have your stock Eaton ported by Stiegmeir Performance.

you have to pull the motor in the 03-04s to put on headers??

didnt know that one..

learn something new every day.

If I owned a terminator though, I'd still want headers haha, it would bother me if I didnt have them.

Blownsvt · 02-27-2007, 04:04 PM

you don't have to pull it all the way, but you do have to at least un do the motor mounts so that the rear of the engine can be jacked up to tilt it far enough forward to have enough space to remove the manifolds and install headers, a few guys i know around here have done it. they said its the biggest PITA for the hp gain ever.

Get a twin screw its definately worth it. I would do that before heads and cams.

Since you have already upgraded the fuel system your next step is a twin screw s/c.
