I am wanting to get a little more out of my cobra. I was thinking about some steeda contoll arms, how much benefit would i get from them? I was also considering a new set of cams. Anyone running aftermarket cams in a mostly stock cobra? (im thinking about the new ones from comp cams). Also i hear alot of good things about the new mgw shifter. I was planning on a pro 5.0, but now am probably going to go with the MGW. Any oppinions on these mods or other suggestions? Nitrous is on the back of my mind, but i think im going to save a little longer and go with a procharger.

The control arms would be an excellent idea. If you can plant more power to the ground then you'll go faster. You might want to consider springs, shocks, and struts as well. I would hold off on the cams until you figure out what you want to do with the car. There's no point in dropping $1000 on a set of cams now only to have to change them to optimize the combo later on. But that's just me. If I didn't have a B&M Ripper I would go for the MGW shifter. Of course, if someone near me has one I might look into buying one.
