You advised that Steeda makes good underdrive pulleys. Those are his concerns and negatives he's heard about underdrive pullies in general.

I'm not a fan of underdrive pullies unless they are offsetting the slightly higher operating rpms (except at idle) caused by changing rear gears to 3.73s (or higher).

A Complete Cobra block takes way to much work to install and then you will run into issues with other mods as well with the 4V heads.

I am running the Cobra Short Block but with 3V Heads which works beautifully, the block it self will not put out 510rwhp mine only put out 330rwhp with P&P heads

lol yeah but buying a cobra is not the answer to any every thing.

Some people hate the interior and love the look of an S197. I personally think that the S197 has way more potential then a Terminator does in looks.

If you want a fast car buy your self a 93 Cobra and put a turbo system on it.

I say leave the UDP's on the shelf. They are good and all, but I didn't feel anything after I got mine. You shouldn't have any loss of performance with your accessories if you do get them. I've run two 1300W amps with no problems.

The 3.73's are good if you are planning to get the S/C down the road. Doesn't make sense to make another gear swap in a couple of years if you don't have to. Otherwise, I say go with the 4.10's and a torque converter. I don't have mine yet, but I have heard nothing but excellent results from getting one. Slap on some control arms and you are good to go. Grab some buddies and tools and you can save a few bucks on the labor for a lot of that stuff. If you can do the t/c yourself, you can stay under 2K, give or take.

That's good you have your priorities in order. Education is what matters in this world, not cars. In hindsight, I would have stayed home and went to college, but that's with 8 years of extra knowledge under my belt. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Good luck to ya!!

yeah i was never impressed with the UDP mod just because the gain is so little for that much money. To me I would rather have control arms.

these mods should be on the list for every one who plans to make big power as well.

Upper Control Arm Mount, Tubular Radiator Support, Street LCA, Xtreme Anti-Roll Bar, Adjustable Upper Control Arm w/poly bushing, HD Boxed Subframe Connector, Control Arm Relocation Bracket

Look at CHE rear control arms. Suggest fixed lower, adjustable upper. Cheapest out there and I here they are good quality. May also want to do LCA relo rackets to increase angle, supposed to get the tires to hook better.

Impressive. I teach college full time (Human anatomy & physiology). Work medical forensics part time now. You have a wise head on those young shoulders.

thanks for all the kind words guys.

As for the UDP's, i guess it could be smart to get UCA/LCA and be done for a bit..

i just want to be able to hit low 13's... lol iight gotta go, back to class- then got work :/

FPeek07GT, yeah- i dont want to work 60+ hours aweek, itll be too much for me.. ill max it out at 40 hours a week.. and see how long i can keep that up for.
