Author Topic: Aftercooler kit or Headers for a 98 Cobra? Cobreezy ¯ Member # 1730 posted                              Would I get more hp gains from a Vorthech after cooler kit or headers? Already got an S-Trim blower, I just want more hp. If I do go with headers, shorties or long tubes and what brand? Another question, I've been having periodic hard starts. Does it sound like I have a clogged fuel filter or is the fuel pump going bad? How do I know if the fuel pump is going bad? What fuel filter should I get? Thanks guys for the feedback. -------------------- 2003 Cobra (596 rwhp) = #3956 of 8394 = AED Tuned Posts: 95 | From: East Bay | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : StoplightWarrior ¯ Member # 211 posted                           Longtubes on your car would be like uncorking a magical bottle of champagne...you would love em! -------------------- 2000 GT couple bolt ons Check out the website: peep it Posts: 2952 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Mar 2001  |  : Primer GR40 ¯ Member # 476 posted                                 yeah get the longtubes.

Your car will thank you for it. They are the least expensive and have a good reputation. Hooker would be my choice but depending how much your looking to spend is up to you. BBK are coated and are about $450. The Hooker are uncoated and are about $600 +. Another difference is that when it comes time to work on your tranny, the Hooker will give you the clearance. With the BBK the passanger side needs to be removed. -------------------- Rest In Peace Juan Moya "The King Cobra" 11/16/81 - 8/20/05 We Will Never Forget You Posts: 649 | From: San Jose | Registered: Oct 2002  |  : TRY2PAZ ¯ Member # 97 posted                                 I would get the long tubes, but do a clutch first. AFter that get the aftercooler. You will see 25 plus rwhp with those. Just dont pulley don your car until u get the aftercooler -------------------- http://www.fnsweet.com/pics/events/sj_gtg_1020/sj_gtg1020_30.jpg Posts: 4033 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2000  |  : DropTopFox drama Member # 1689 posted                              don't forget you are going to need a short x or h pipe which will cost at least 150 dpending if you go o/r or catted. SO you're lookin at least $600 either way. If I was you I would make a simple table and put the power gain of one over the price and one side and the same with the other part on the other side. Then you see what is gonna give you more bang for your buck, then that's the mod I would go with. Just my 2 cents -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  :
