I have a 97 cobra with 3.73, x-pipe,flowmasters and a BBK cold air intake. What is needed to get the car closer to the 300rwhp mark?

Longtube headers, o/r x pipe, scrap that BBK cai for a K&N or JLT unit, and a SCT tune and you should be right around 300.

Soon as i update my tune I am going to re dyno and looking for 300 as well.

Clean the IMRC plates and you'll gain back 10-20 hp

Nothing but a waste of money and time as the procedure is about the same for a 5-8 rwhp gain. if you are going to pay that much $$ go longtubes. They have alot more low to mid range power gains and usually 20 rwhp vs 5-8.

I like Pro3 and all I got was this crappy CT.

Not closer to your goal at all, but with lower amount of money then you started. FRPP shortie is crop
