Hey guys just looking for some input

[Kirk Simpson]

I have 600 dollars to spend and i dont know what else to do to my 98 cobra i have cold air intake, 373 gears, bama tuner, tri ax short throw shifter and flowmaster 40s ... any input would be great looking for more power adders just dont know what to add next.

Put it towards a paint job

On a side note your suspension should be next. Springs, subframe connectors, caster cambers.

It seems like you have the basics covered. Rather than "adding" anything, I would consider removing weight, starting with un-sprung rotating weight. Lighter wheels or an aluminum drive shaft will improve your cars acceleration, handling, and braking.

Also, a tubular k-member or some racing seats are great modifications too.

It really depends on what your goals are, and how you plan to use the car...

yea i agree with the paint lol but 600 dollars wont do my paint very good lol and yea i do need suspension and weight reduction thanks guys ill look into that.

I have that flywheel for you had it for about 25 miles and then removed since i traded in my 98 cobra
$300 plus shipping for a Billet Alluminum Ram Flywheel
I paid $440 plus tax and shipping ba

If youre doing suspension look into some subframe connectors. I heard they work wonders on our cars.
Maybe some new shocks & struts if you're lowered and on the stock suspension.

 

[fangs99]

Sub frames should be your 1st mod.... So that if you don't. Then you need suspension, tires, and breaks.... But what do you want the car to do? What is it going to be most used for? Oh, what H/X pipe are you running? What state is it tagged in? Longtubes and O/R H or X will do it some good.

I have to say the tubular K-member would be the next move. You could remove 100lbs and open the area around your engine for air flow and maintenance. We could swap it out at the hobby shop in about 4 to 5 hours.

cool guys ill look at getting that stuff and also about that fly wheel let fathers day get here and ill get that from you so suspension and k member huh sounds good guys and yes as soon as i get it all together ill let you know todd thanks man

 

[fangs99]

what are your goals with the car? street/strip...... street only? autox, road race, a little of everything?

 

[fangs99]

a good k-member/arm/ coilover up front and TQ arm panhard rod with weight jacker lowers will set you up to do a little bit of everything...... but your tire choice is just as important.

 

[Kirk Simpson]

im looking to do street/strip thats all nevery seen or done the autox thing

Yup pretty much been said here, SUSPENSION! Lots of guys just go power power power, but what good is it if you can't catch traction and that front wheel drive or all wheel drive ricer is half way down the track before you catch traction lol some rear control arms (uppers are a waste if time and $$$), but you can get panard bar (I probably misspelt the shit out that) but it replaces the upper control arm system and greatly increases handling and traction (so I've read) but I have done rear lower control arms (steeda) and they definitely made a difference. My 2 cents.

 

[Kirk Simpson]

cool cool well like you and everyone else said suspension lol is where im headed

http://mustangforums.com/forum/suspension/553765-the-official-suspension-guide.html this is a really awesome suspension write up check it out lots of info and knowledge.

 

[fangs99]

if your on a budget..... Mach 1 rear springs, Steeda weight jacker lowers, some adj. shocks (i like QA1) and most important.... TIRE..... if your on a 17 inch rim... Nitto NT05R's are the way to go.

 

[yosemiddysam]

I would say headers and under drive pulleys and your about maxed engine wise. Agree with the others on the suspension mods.

 

[ProteusGodz]

i say give me the $600 and ill send your car a blessing and that will give you at least 50 more WHP or you could just get the suspension...
