Default Power predicament for 97 Cobra...

Okay...so i have a situation. I want more power, but do not want to go to forced induction, rebuild the motor, or the juice (NO2).

Subject is 97 Cobra w/ 117k miles

I currently have a C&L RAI, Steeda u/d pulleys, Magnaflow o/r x-pipe, and Magnapacks.

For the driveline i have RAM clutch/flywheel, quadrant/adjustor, FRPP alum driveshaft. Ford 4.10's

Suspension i have planned out, but right now have FL subframes and s strut tower brace. (springs, shocks/struts, LCA/UCA, and the other stuff will come this summer)


What i want to know is should i just get a few more bolt-ons, a tune and call it a day? Should i get the heads and intake reworked/ported? Or should i do something completely different? any suggestions??? i know some stuff, but still trying to get into the game. thanks guys(and girls)

I'd recommend the Mach 1/03 cobra heads/intake and aftermarket cams (or use your B head cams in those heads as they are more agressive): if your budget allows porting is always good...while the heads/intake are off, long tube headers and a 90mm throttle body work wonders too...if the sky is the limit, get some GT supercar heads...a "chip and tune" will max your power...good luck, have fun

i was looking at some heads, but they can get prettttty pricey. i know they are the 4v, so i should expect that. would it be worth it to port my stock heads/intake? and for the headers, do you have to yank the motor out? the more i think about this the more i think forced induction....
