ok..so i love my cobra, but i can't say i know much about it. I'm looking to do some minor mods to it, but not go overboard with it. Can you guys give me some ideas of what i can do to pump it up a bit.. I already have a bassani exhaust, but i'm not sure what else i can do...thanks in advance for the help...

One of the best bang-for-the-bucks modification would be a pulley swap.

I'd recomend a 4lb lower pulley & new gatorback belt, however a cheaper route is to go with an upper pulley & idler setup. The larger lower pulley will help stave off belt slip, while the upper pulley only setup may have some belt slip.
Either route will give you a SIGNIFICANT increase in power across the RPM band.

You will need to retune the car after the swap.

Depends on what you're looking for. If you want power, a pulley/ tune would be the way to go. Combine that with a good Mid-pipe and you'll get a little more. And, don't forget the intake side. A good CAI will help the power output.

If you're looking for suspension, than lowering springs with some good caster/ camber plates are a good start. It all depends on what you want. Give us a call at (916) 780-4646 or stop by and we can help you with whatever you decide.

Yeah, pretty much what everyone has said. 2.81 upper pulley & tensioner, catted X pipe, CAI and a tune are all good starts, and won't break the bank.
