4.30 gears, Cat-back, midpipe, shifter, Drag radials, and a nicely prepped track. My best with my mods is a 13.2 @ 104.6. I am getting some Nitto DR's within the next week so hopefully next time at the track I will be able to get some high 12's!!

A blower. You wont get those times with 'bolt-ons' unless you want to ruin the car as a daily driver...
If i owned a 96-98 cobra, i would buy the small kenne belle TS blower, add an exhaust and be content with 380-400rwhp...
