New Cobra owner with some performance questions...
Hi everyone. New to the forum and I had some questions....
In June 07’ I got a 2003 Cobra Convertible with 6,000 miles on it, from what I can see it has a:
· BBK cold air intake
· Magnaflow exhaust (cat-back)
I wanted to know what other upgrades you guys can suggest for me to do. I was thinking of the following: · Upper and/or Lower Pulleys
· Computer Tuner
· Hard Launch Cross-bar for (IRS)
· Billet IRS cover girdle kit.
Can you please point me in the right direction for what manufactures of the above list to purchase and where I might be able to find them, and even if what I have in mind is a good idea? And if you could also give me any other suggestions you think are good I would appreciate it. I am also looking for a shop in the North / Central New Jersey Area that I could go to, to do some of this work.
-Thanks in advance Nxcess

RE: New Cobra owner with some performance questions...
Get a upr offroad x-pipe to go with the magnaflow catback. As far as pulleys, go with a 2.76 or 2.80 if you just do the upper pulley but if you want the nice torque gains that come with a lower then go with a 2.93/4lb lower. Obviously with the pulley switch you will need a tune. As far as suspension the first two things I would do are an irs brace and subframe connectors. The cooling mods would be a good idea to do also.

OK...thanks guys! Great info.
I was also thinking about a BBK throtle body, is this a good idea?
If I am going to just do the upper pulley do I need to do a colling mod? Or do I only need the cooling mod if I do both the upper and lower pulley....?? If i only do the upper do I need a tune also???
Also still trying to find a tuner in north NJ...anyone...

RE: New Cobra owner with some performance questions...
If you want a throttle body just go ahead and get the single blade accufab. You will need a tune if you change the pulley. You don't have to get a cooling mod but it is nice to have one for the extra reassurance.
RE: New Cobra owner with some performance questions...
Like I said on the other post- you could also do the billetflow, or port yours if/when you port your blower...
Anytime you modify the boost, or Air/Fuel you need a tune... things can detonate rather quickly... my advice... get all the mods together, get them installed/install them all at once, then get your tune... save you some $$
