Well I have had her about 2 months now and its been SLOW on getting mods on it. All thats been done is window tint and a custom shift kit..........thats about to Change >:D >:D >:D

I have been waiting for financial reasons, but the big reason is that I want to get all my little bolt on crap together and have it all put on at ONE TIME so I can take it and have it dyno tuned with all the parts on it and not have to take it back time and time again to have it tweaked when a part was added. Here is what I'm looking at, a 2-3 inch drop all the way around, JLP traction bars out back, NEW 18inch Chrome wheels ( have not decided on what type yet :-\ :-\ ) I would have had this stuff done already but as most of you know my son had tubes put in his ears for the SECOND time recently and I was waiting on the bills for that before I spent money on myself. Anyway on the induction side a Coldair kit ( probally the chickenears kit ), the C&L upper with the SB TB, a 6lb lower pulley with new belt , MOTOBLUE performance series coils, NGK-V Power Plugs, 160* T-Stat , Bassani catted mid pipe, Bassani BX catback and a Custom Dyno tune with Sniper software. Like I said I'm going to have all these parts put on at one time, the I will take it ( VERY SLOWLY, staying out of boost ;D ) to Jacksonville to Wayne's Dyno to have it tuned. With this I should without a doubt be in the 400/500 club 8) 8). Then I may go with a ported blower, it just depends on how much power I get out of the mods here, I don't want to take it over around 425rwhp. Over that gets into the danger zone on the stock rods and I don't want that to worry about :angel:

Then I'm going to get a Cooling upgrade kit, I like the one that RPM has, it includes a heat exchanger / twin cooling fans / expansion fill tank / Intercooler upgrade / battery relocation kit / and a water wetter. Ill keep looking for anything better but thats a pretty good kit they have and its just around 650 for everything :).

I'm going to start ordering parts right after the 4th and I hope to have everything ( on the power side ) by the middle of the month so I can have it done and tuned by the first of August at the latest. Then the cooling stuff before my Birthday in September.......just in time for the G-Burg Get together ^-^ ^-^

Oh yea >:D >:D >:D its low 12's or bust :boink:

Can your cobra hang with the L?

Do you mean now? If so, well from a dead stop up to about 30 or 40 its pretty close, I have BIG DR's on my cobra so its a bad bitch off the line but so is that damn L with OVER 400ft lbs of tq ;D. After about 40 or so the Cobra pulls on it pretty bad, but gotta remember the L is STOCK right now. After all this stuff goes on, the L might hurt the Cobras feelings :dunno:

If my Cobra wasnt so damn heavy it would be a lot faster than what it is, but that 36 or 3700lb weight + my 230lb ass in it makes it one DUMP TRUCK to move down the road :(

going to be one fine ride. hope your son is doing better. O0

Thanks bud, yea hes doing fine now. WE had this done last year around this same time, and the tubes that were put in then CAME OUT about 4 months ago. Then he got another ear infection :mad: :mad: soooo we had to take him back to the specialist and he once again said he had to put in tubes, but this time he did the T tubes. They are a more permanent type of tube designed to stay in for 4 to 6 years so they should NOT come out prematurely. But its all fine, hes doing great and no more damn ear infections :angel:

And yea the L is going to be mighty fine :banana: :bunny3:
