I'm stuck! I still want to mod the car, but nothing seems like its worth the money for the power I'll get (other than gears which I already have but havent put in yet). I'd buy h/c/i but it seems like i could just port my heads and intake myself and get relatively close to the same hp for way cheaper. What to do?!

Longtubes, 80mm PRO-M MAF. I wouldn't port your heads and intake yourself unless you know what you're doing.

Starting with a Cobra, which has at least semi-decent heads, I'd go directly to a power adder. Tuuuuuuuurbo .

How about some weight loss. Some of it is free, just labor.

If you are doing gears, some nice controll arms and sticky tires will help you get it to the ground.
