mods for 96 cobra

[96snake719]

Hey guys just wondering how much horse Id be looking at with the folling mods...

Mac o/r x pipe
Mac catback
underdrive pulleys
JLT CIA
and a custom tune

Thats about all I no of without going internal using nitrous or slaping on a blower. If Im missing anything let me no, my goal is to try and get 300 rwhp N/A

Thanks a lot guys!

Although they won't get you any horse power, gears would definitely be something to add to your list. With what you have listed and some gears you would have a decent car with a whole new attitude. For gears, if you DD it I would stick with 3:73's but if you don't 4:10's and good.

 

[96snake719]

well right now my car has 3.90s in it, there pretty decent but I would really like to put maybe 4.10s or 4.30s in next year

....Stick with the 3.90's! ...Cams & head work would help for sure! ...if nothing else from ^^^, maybe a TB & Long Tube headers!

 

[NYstang]

those will give you soem good power. but go with some longtubes now, you wont regret it!

also, sticky tires never hurt

 

[Timspony]

Sticky tires won't net any extra HP, but you'll need them for sure with that new found HP!!

Just for the few that don't know, an NA Mustang won't benefit much from Long tube Header, it will sound bad A$$ but that's about it and the gains will be negligible, anywhere from 4 to 8rwhp for the $1200 bucks is going to cost him for parts and labor.

With the list of above mods, your ride will see anywhere from 10 to18rwhp when you get it custom tune with a reputable tuner like MM, what ever U do Good Luck!!!

I think 300RWHP is not going to happen without head and cam work or Nitrous or a blower. I think 250 - 260 sounds more like it..

 

[96snake719]

How about a short runner intake? is it worth it?

 

[Timspony]

...Just get a SC with 8-10#'s of boost & you'll have tons of fun!

 

[1BIGMOFO]

I agree with TIM, that's what I would have done if I was to do it again!

 

[96snake719]

Believe me guys I would absolutely love to put a supercharger on it but I could buy another car for that kind of money. Im very limited money wise right now. Im just kind of buying bits and pieces for my car right now. Im just trying to get the most power I can with the least amount of money, Im sure some of you guys out there feel my pain lol

 

[Timspony]

...I'd save my $$$ and make a overall plan where you want to be with the Cobra!! ...SC still the best overall way to go...maybe used!

Any Pics??

 

[1BIGMOFO]

What about N2O?

 

[Glueyes]

GEARS!!that should be the first thing on your list.No less then 410's allot of people with 96-98 even run 430's,but personally i would stick with 410's

 

[96snake719]

Yea heres one here
I dont know like I said, I would really like to supercharge it but I really dont no at this point. So you guys dont think I can come close to 300 NA though huh?

 

[Timspony]

You could come close to 300 with heads and a cam without a doubt.. im over 300 N/A but i have some serious coin in my setup

 

[96snake719]

Thanks a lot! so basically I really need heads and cams to achieve my goal?

 

[1BIGMOFO]

Or a s/c or N2O... Or all of the above
