I'm the new guy. hello all.
I have a stock 99 cobra, but have an want for more power.
I have 57K miles on the motor, what would be recommended for a big jump in power?
I really would like to get a big jump and not just do exhaust or a few little things.
Looking for the best way to get the most bang for the buck. Do i need to worry about the mileage on the car?
oh and does anyone know where/what HCI is? that is where harold got his monster rebuilt.

It really depends what your budget is like. 57000miles isn't too bad, the cobra's respond really well with a super charger. Not much you can do as far as heads go, i know you can stroke the motor, but if you are looking to get fast quick, super charger, or you might want to think of a turbo too...

rebuild? lol, you're not even broken in yet.

my "new" motor has 53k miles on it, heh.

the obvious answer on a 4.6 DOHC is a blower, no ifs, ands, or buts. [worship]
