What are your goals for your car? What do you want out of a Cobra besides the exclusive ownership of having one? You could easily spend less than 9k on your GT and you would have a bad ass car.

Let us know what you want like hp wise and other things to help us give you some advice.

If im not mistaken didn't you just sell your old 2v and had just purchased this car? You are worse than I am! Stop being compulsive and keep the GT.

Save your 9k. Install a Vortech. Upgrade your clutch, upper and lower control arms and tires. You can use the fuel system that comes with the kit unless you plan on making some serious power in the future then upgrade your pump and injectors accordingly. That would cost you less than 6k with the tune. Have fun and be safe. In the future if you still have the itch install and intercooler and dig into that motor!

If you are on a budget just install an aftermarket mid pipe and you are good to go! Heads and cams will be overkill with a blower on stock internals.

A stock one maybe. You need to remember cars these days are making tons of power "stock" and require very little modifications especially stock boosted cars to make some serious power. You need to take baby steps to keep it safe. You don't want to kill your self now. Add the blower. Down the road build the little 2v and the sky is the limit.

I agree with ktayl, install a Vortech. You will be glad you kept it after your first drive with the supercharger. Although I do recommend intercooling it.

Click to expand...

All you need is a blower and some gears to walk one. I know because I just did it recenlty. I put almost 4 cars on one and all I really have is 3.55s and a KB 2.1 at 9lbs. They are far from un-beatable.

Honestly I would keep your car and spend your money on modifying it. You can build a budget engine by re-using the stock crank and adding forged pistons and rods. A mild set of ported heads and a vortech with a front mount and BAM your pushing an easy 500hp no sweat.

That should still leave you some cash left over to sharpen the looks of your car. You could get a cobra hood, bumper, and side skirts and call it a day. Personally I like cowl hoods but thats just me.
