Default Just got an 03 Cobra W/13000 mi

I just got this car and even think I've got some ideas, but after reading a few threads I'm hopeing for a little advice. I think I want to get a steigmier port job, stage? A C&L CAI, Bassani X, and Borola cat backs. Pullies, I think a 2.93, but can I get a larger crank pully if I get larger accessary pullies, and are they worth it. Should I just get the 2.93 and call it? Tune, I see lot of so called canned tunes, but isn't every tune set-up for the mods on the car, and have to be done in person on a dyno? Man I haven't even started thinking about suspension yet!

Ha ha, you got it bad man. You've been bit. This car was stock? wow that's unusual. Usual first mods are pulley, chip, CAI, and exhaust. It's all dependent on what you have to spend. Congrats, you're gonna love it.

Mine is black and when I went to the lot there were a lot of toys. There were 5 Cobras one vert with the 10th anniversary trim, a couple lightnings, and two 100 year anniversary GTs. I had to have black and mine had that tacky dealer crap on the windshield that said "built for speed". That and the SVT poster sealed the deal.

Coletti was the man. The 03-04 Cobras were groundbreaking and affordable to the common motor head. A 15k car with a 20k drivetrain is how i've heard it put.

Yeah, I remember Coletti saying the Terminator/Cobra would make the Viper "look like an earthworm"...LOL

I really want to do most of this at once while I've got the funds to do it, and so the tune I use counts. Has anybody had their blower ported by Stiegmier? Thanks for all the advise on CAI, Exaust and pullies.
