99 cobra where to start

[54life]

i have a 99 cobra that is stock...i am in iraq right now and the money is building up...i figure i have about 3600$ to dedicate to my car when i return to the states...what do you think i should do. I am thinking 4.10's in the rear. These 2003 cobra's are tearing me up...help me get back into competition. I dont really wanna change the heads or cams for emitions reasons however an offroad x pipe is acceptable as it is easy to put the stock on back on. Thanks for your help...and never come to iraq...it sucks

You want to give the 2003's a run? 4.56 gears and take out everything you can to save weight. Seriously, get a blower. Maybe 5000? $3600 won't get you far Naturally Aspirated. You can always add the gears and other things later, but the blower will get you there immediately!


Good luck and I salute you!

hang with the 03's? your best bet is n20 or blower , although there are alot of other routes i guess you could take , definately 4:10's or 4:30's , i think about 80% of the people in these forums would tell you 4:30's, it just depends if you are on the highway alot and dont mind crusing at semi-high rpm's. I went with 3:73 and sorta regret it sometimes, but my car is my daily driver so i guess its not that bad of a descision. I raced an 03 and hung with him till about mid 3rd gear without my nos, then he started pulling away. good luck and thanks for serving.

Yeah, I decided to scrap all this bolt on nonsense and am going with a procharger p1sc with the 3 core intercooler....zo6's beware

Forge the bottom and go with the D-1SC now if you have the $$s. The upgrade from a P-1SC to a D-1SC is $1100.00.
