    Help me prioritize Driveline Upgrades!

    Granted that my TOB has gone, I've ordered a 2001 Clutch Kit (same as FRPP 11" Upgrade Kit), and am trying to determine what additional changes should I do at the same time. I'm trying to spread out the cost over a period of time, therefore, which was is the smartest while the tranny is down...

    Where are the restrictions on our stock exhaust?

    I've searched past threads, and haven't found one that answers this question completely - where are the restrictions on our stock exhaust? Headers, H-Pipe, Cat-back? As a segway from this question, what kind of gains did you experience by replacing each component? This is what I've found in...

    Anybody running the Bilstein Suspension Kit?

    I've decided on Bilstein shocks/struts, yet haven't decided on springs. I was thinking Steeda Comp, however, have discovered that they're simply re-badged Eibachs (as are Saleens). Bilstein does have an entire spring/strut/shock kit, and was wondering whether this would be a better route...

    Suspension Question

    I'm getting tired of hearing the squeaks of the stock suspension (approx 80K miles on it), and have decided to upgrade. The vast majority of my driving is street, with very limited strip and no track. I'm looking for improved handling and cornering, without a seriously harsh ride. I'm...

    MSD Tune-Up

    I just installed new Bosch P4 plugs, MSD coils and SC wires, and have been impressed with the throttle response to date. I appreciate that no HP/torque gains were realized, however, have others experienced the same SOTP results or was I in serious need of a tune-up?

    Gears & RPMs

    I'm considering swapping my stock gears in my stock 98 Cobra. I plan significant future mods, however, plan to maintain NA. Granted that I drive 50:50 city:highway, I'm curious as to RPM increase at highway speeds. To those running lower gears, waht RPMs are you running at 70MPH? Thanks.
