Hey everyone, name is Spencer and I'm a 21 year old from Alabama. I've been researching and gathering parts for my 04 Redfire Cobra I bought off a member on hereback in April. As of right now the car is making a little more than 500 rwhp. I've always wanted a whipple cobra, but things have changed so here is my list of parts I have gathered.

McLeod RXT clutch ( 26 spline upgrade )
McLeod lightened steel flywheel
Afco dual pass H/E
LFP radiator
Reisch thermostat
Lethal Performace black intercooler and radiator tank
Lethal Performace Budget Return style fuel system
80lb injectors
Mac 1 5/8 LT
Lethal O/R X Pipe

The parts above is everything I have so far. Clutch, radiator, and H/E are going on here in about a hour. Will post pics of the install tonight.

My last part I need though is a new blower and I will be ordering it soon. TVS 2.3 I'm gonna get it tuned for 93 and E85. Anyone got a guess on what kind of power I should make?

Well time to get busy and I will keep thread updated with pics and status of car.
