well i have been off in f-body land for the last 5-6 months and I'm stuck between my trans am and my cobra. I must say i enjoy the t-tops 6 speed and hitting 300lbstq @ 2600rpm. The thing I do not like about it is the breaking, handling, and i break the damn thing ALL THE TIME!!! In the last few months i blew out the power steering pump, clogged the cat, and my multispark went out. The entire time i drove my cobra the only thing that *broke* were 2 and 3 gear syncro's plus it pinged like a mofo. So what new and popular in the 5.0 market for our car? AFR's still "one of the best" heads you can buy? How about cam's and intakes? I also would want a 6 speed conversion but last time i looked it was running from $2700-2500 which I wouldn't really want to drop down but is an option. Also i think the cobra needs a new computer. Before i got away from modding i was thinking about a 9al but is there any new aftermarket systems out there? Plus i love that damned ol' 5.0 sound!!!!! Update me and help me know where I wanna go!

Its hard to give a real opinion (rather than the biased opinion you'll get here) You already have some decent bolt ons for your cobra but the T/A is faster out of the box. Its also harder and more expensive to work on. You do NOT need a new computer for your cobra. What you can get is an anderson PMS and do your own tuning. You also are wasting your money doing a 6spd swap when a killer 5 spd is cheaper when the time comes for a new tranny. Theres the tremec tko 500/600 and the G force T5. No, afr's are not the "best" heads. The best means whats best for a given combination and meets or beats your specific goals. Your car already has decent heads and intake. Both cars have a nice "sex appeal" to them

I also recommend you clean out the maf elements with rubbing alcohol on a Qtip.

If your car is leaning out like that... try more fuel or less timing, also take some gap out of your plugs. Can make a world of difference.
