the car is a 03 cobra
I was wondering what are some power mods i can do without actually doing a dyno tune. Mods that i can still go at WOT, without doing any
damage. basic bolt-ons i guess would be my question.
Car is stock except for Bassani stainless steel cat back.
when i went to dyno it, the power to the wheels came in at 367, with 355 ft lbs of tq. this was done before the cat back.
P.s. I know a dyno tune would make a great increase of power but i just need to find a dynomometer around my area.

Intake and a mid pipe is about it, and even at that I have heard of some people running a bit lean with the K&N FIPK. At the same time I have seen people running a pulley off the rich stock tune without a problem (Never recommended). I would stick with just throwing an intake on and having some fun, save up for a pulley and the programmer then make the drive to the nearest tuner.

Do a pulley swap, cold air intake, exhaust, and a good dyno tune.
Trust me you will be happy. LOLSold

Go for some 373 gears. No more power but drives faster :)

You can run a cold air kit, exhaust and hand held tuner without having to go to a dyno. Its when you pulley it that you want to check it on the dyno. Like the guys said the pulley is the difference!

Pulley swap is in mind, but i need to find a trustworthy dyno shop in my area. About the gears i want to go with either 4.10s or 4.56s. Dont fear the gear.

I wouldn't go any steeper than a 390. Once you do the pulley swap and get some more power you wont be able to keep the car on the ground with the 355s let alone 456. Originally Posted by 562cobra
