2003 Cobra mods

I'm looking for suggestions on where to start with increasing
performance from my '03 Cobra convert. (new purchase used car). Some
cost effective ideas I've seen a

upper pulleys
Mac exhaust
cold air kit
performance chip and tune
throtle body
NOS

Automatic Cobra? I don't think there is such a thing is there?

MadDAWG

Automatic????

No, this is a 6-speed man. Where did "automatic" come from?

Thinking of following:

CAI
X-Pipe w/cat back
throttle body w/plennun
3.0 upper, 4# lower, idler pulleys
Diablesport chip and tune

-Pat

The modifications you listed will give you about 500 rwhp/rwtq. If that
isn't enough you can install a Kenne Bell twin screw blower for about
$4,000 and have 600+ rwhp/rwtq.

As an owner, If you have an automatic '03 you should hold on to it because
it's the only one in existence

Only those so modified to be. None ever came from the factory with a
slushbox. I have heard of people putting automatics behind them though -
probably *much* easier in the '93-95 cars before the EEC-V took hold...

Not sure why you'd want one, but to each their own.

heres my .02 and in order:

- catback
- air intake
- weld in subframes (vert)
- pulley/tune (or if youve got the $$, twin screw blower upgrade)
- etc, etc...

you will def need some tires for the power if you like to drop the clutch.

i have owned an 03 and an 04, and gained almost 60 std hp from airbox and
catback alone on the 03 (havent dynoed the 04)
