I just recently bought a 1996 cobra hardtop. When I bought it, it already had an american thunder catback, a march ram air kit and pulleys, and a K&N filter. I currently have a small budget, but what would should be my first 5 mods for this car. -thanx
(ALso any approximate quartemile times with what i have so far?)

These are the mods I would suggest:
Steeda TriAx
Off-road H or X pipe
gears (4.10s minimum)
Sticky Tires
Subframe connector

With traction, you could probably get a mid 13 out of your car. Good Luck!

Yes, definitely these mods should be first. I have the shifter, 4.30's, Maganflow CB, getting an offroad x, subframe connectors, k-member brace and stb from maximum motorsports. I will more than likely try the Nitto DR's this spring. You should also look into getting a firewall adjuster and a better clutch quad, makes the shifts even better!

I would agree.
1st Shifter. Give your tranny as much chance to live as possible.
2nd Subframes or LCA's. Think traction and handling.
3rd Whichever you didn't pick 2nd.
4th Gears if you can afford install.
5th MAF. I got a blast out of mine when I put it on.
