New goals for Cobra

Well, since my car hit 12's pretty easily with light mods. I am going for 12.5s or better with only bolt-ons.

Along with my current mods i am going to do:

-kmember with either stock a arms or tubular and coil overs(price determined)
Fox V8 rear springs (cut), R/R airbag, Steeda Hardcore LCAs,Steeda 'street/strip' UCAs
-Rear seat delete
-ditch the power seat
-short belt
-4.10 or 4.30 gears(probably 4.10s so I can spray with a taller tire)
-If I have to, lighter wheels with slicks and skinnies. otherwise on stock 17's
-maybe switch to long tubes and an o/r x pipe.

so that should be a good 100lbs+ in weight reduction, i should pick up a good tenth in the 60' from the suspension, and should pick up some et with the gear and shortbelt. so any other suggestions?

I want to run ffw street stang this year, so a 12.5 car is needed(actually quicker if I make it to events at slower tracks)

no they are 3.55s or 3.73s. i counted 3.55s and my buddy thats a tech says 3.73s. so i think 373s, ill swap them out soon anyway. @104mph on the et streets the stock tach was only at 5krpms through the traps in 4th

does anyone think there will be much of a gain going to long tubes with a o/r x over the current bbk shorty and mac h?

since our cobra heads breath better than stock GT's, the power gain is a bit larger. LT's get better exponentially with regard to the amount of mods you do. If you are planning on spraying it, they will help alot. But if you are planning to just stay bolt on, you have to ask yourself if its worth the extra $600 worth of exhaust mods to switch to them.

well, i will most likely spray it once i get it to its potential na with bolt ons. but i am in no hurry, so i can just sit back and wait for a cheap set of longtubes used, and i have an xpipe here i can cut down and use for a midpipe. the thing i am going to have to spend the money on is the damn kmember set up
