I spun a rod bearing, and I am getting ready to drop a few dollars in. I was wondering who here has had a moderate build up on their 96-98 cobra, and what kind of power the car is making. Some insight would be greatly appreciated so it will give me a jump start on what i want to do for my car.
So far in mods I have 4.10 gears, longtube headers, h-pipe (w/o cats). flowmaster exhaust, k&n cone, and and a 62mm throttle body. I would want to build something that would get me into the low 12's or high 11's w/o the help of a bottle or supercharger.

This should be interesting since I'm in the same boat as you are.
