    Talking New Cobra Owner!!!!!

    I just bought a new 2003 sonic blue cobra svt last night. This is my first venture into the mustang world and for that matter the ford world.. I am about to say a bad word, but i used to be a camaro ss owner. I had built that up to about 380-290 hp. I know the camaro like that back of my hand, but i am very ignorant on the svt aftermarket stuff. Is there a reputable company to purchase from and what are some things i should stay away from? Any helpful hints about the svt? I know these are big questions, but any insight to get me started will be helpfull. Thanks in advance!!!

    Welcome . You've asked a rather broad question there. If you've got specific ones it might be easier .

    There's several companies making fun things for the '03:

    www.steeda.com
    www.kennybrown.com
    www.amazonracing.com
    www.gefracing.com
    www.teamjdm.com

    I've bought a bunch of stuff from companies listed below and would add maximummotorsports.com for suspension stuff. I just bought their full length sub-frame connectors.

    Congrats on your new ride

    Welcome to the club.

    A 380/290 Camaro? That sounds interesting.

    Thumbs up Welcome to Ford Land !!!!!!

    Hey Sonic, I think you're going to like the Bolt-on world of the 03 Cobra. Just think, with just a K&N intake system sucking cold fender air, a blower pulley change to 3.10 or 2.93 diameter with short belt to match, a replacement "H" or "X" pipe with fewer or no cats , free flowing cat-back rear pipes/mufflers and a Diablo Sport or Autologic chip for computer box......you are well over 500 hp flywheel into Viper territory. Have fun !
