I'm not a fan of bodykit cars but I love that one!

Atleast Ford finally learned in 05 but I guess I'll be getting a catback also. How does a Complete Magnaflow setup sound and look? Is there a way to not get the 3.5" tips or should I go Dynomax? Price is an issue since this car is going to break me but I'm power hungry so I'll skip some meals :D

Is the 03 Catback 2.5"? If so can I just have some Magnaflows welded in place of the mufflers and make just as much power than buying the same size catback with mufflers? To me I just don't see anything wrong or too power robbing with the stock catback as long as I get a good straight...

Go with a TURBO KIT because they not only make more power but they are much easier on the block and stock internals. The blowers add much more stress on the crank plus they waste power to turn them, sort of like an air conditioner. You may already know this but essentially a supercharger...

Cool thanks I'll keep that in mind...I'm now starting to consider going back to the Nitto Drag Radials like I had on my 95 because even though those tires didn't hook well at the track I could hook them fairly well on the street when I wanted to let loose a little bit. Oh yeah and wheel hop...

Well it's pretty much stock with a k&n air filter in the stock box plus silencer and the welded on flowmasters. The tires are some kind of off brand called Fuzion ZRi that the dealer put on it in which the rears may soon be replaced with a drag radial for weekend warrior duties.

:crazy: How could have forgotten that minor detail :D. My 60ft was 1.96 but I think their was wheelspin throughout 1st and 2nd gear still. I have now since sold the car and bought an 03 Cobra that will eventually get a nice set of Mickey Thompsons Drag Radials for the street :flag:

I ran a heatsoaked and best time of 8.55 @86 mph with a 2.1 60ft time I couldn't keep from bogging for some reason :( . When I would let the clutch out I lost all rpm and I would bog...I figure I let the clutch out too fast even though I had the rpms up to about 2500 rpm. Is my mph ok or...

Where's the cheapest most reliable service wise place to purchase a FIPK for my 03 Cobra?

Yeah I meant pulling the blower off. I do figure that unless I have one of those freak 390 rwhp stock 03 Cobra's I will need a ported blower to obtain 500 rwhp. Right now if I can drive a bolt-on 450 rwhp Cobra into the 11s I hardly care about making 500 rwhp anyways :banana:

Thanks for the replies all. What do you guys think is the better cold air system? JLT, K&N FIPK, C&Ls kit plus mass air, or some other system. I was really hoping to get 500 rwhp without pulling the blower but it seems harder to do than I once thought. I'm seriously considering water...

Thanks for the advice. I've only got 3k left under warranty and I'm considering extending it though the temptation to modify it is greater. I was mostly considering just the basic cold air kit but don't know which brand to go with and next I'm considering the pulley upgrade or the ported...

What are the best basic mods to start with and what brand.

I just bought an 03 Cobra and I've never driven an M3 but my biased opinion is to get the Cobra. I see the Cobra as a super car that comes with an underrated 390 hp engine that sticks to the road like glue from my short experience. In addition with a couple of bolt-ons I'll have 500 hp...

Yes that was the approximate weight with me in it. The car was dyno tuned with by Johnson Motorsports making 529 rwhp but I later had the intake elbow ported (a 95 thing), then replaced the slipping clutch with a spec stage III and aluminum flywheel, and fixed a few vacuum leaks with those...

If I remember it right it was a 1.96 60ft time but the wheels were spinning until 3rd I think. It has been a while and the block is broke now and car is history but I'm bringing up spilt milk and regrets now till I get an 03/04 Cobra (sorry for the poor sentence grammar police if any are...

I think the trickiest part is launching hard enough to get moving without annhilating the tires and if I launched to soft (losing time) then I would have to worry about not annhilating my tires (losing more time) when the boost kicked in really hard around 4000-4500 rpm. It's been a while now...

How much of a 1/4 mile time difference between the two is there? I see the Lightning having an advantage with the extra cubes, solid rear axle, and automatic transmission (well possibly). I see the Cobra having a decisive weight and aerodynamics advantage plus for some reason maybe a power...

Yes on the Nitto Drag Radials 1st and 2nd were just there to give me enough movement to get into 3rd where I finally hook. My 8th of a mile time was 8.0 @ 90mph. It has been a while since I did this but I was just thinking back today at how much power the car made and the fact that I couldn't...
