OK, I know that you have probably answered these questions a million times but I going to start looking for a 03 Cobra in about a month and I will have about $2000 to spend, I wanted to get a boost pulley to push about 14 PSI or so, an x-pipe, get the ECU reflashed, and maybe some headers and something on the intake side.

My questions are----

1. What are the best places to look for this stuff (don’t want to overspend but I don’t want crappy quality either)
2. How much horsepower and torque is the clutch good for?
3. based on experience how much boost is the stock valvetrain good for?


Thanks in advance

SVTpunk just bought a 04 Cobra with 3200mi. on it & I love it, but already ordering parts for it. This is what I am going with & Strictly Perfomance in Houston said I should be putting around 460hp to the rear wheels.
BBK Long Tube Headers, BBK X Pipe w/cats, Flowmaster Cat back exhaust, CNL mass air with pipe/K&N Air Filter, Accufab ThrottleBody, 2.93 pulley, Diablo Predator Programmer, MGW shifter.
I have been price shopping and noticed RPMoutlet.com has pretty good pricing. You might try Ebay also, I picked up the Diablo Programmer from somebody selling their car for $200.00. It sells new for right at around $400.00. Just make sure they transferred the info. back to the programmer.
So to sum it up Ebay, RPMoutlet and Summit Racing, best pricing I have seen.
Hope this helps and good luck finding your Cobra, I have seen some nice one's on Autotrader but they don't last long!!!
