Best Mods for New Edge Cobras?

[VETTKLR]

Besides nitrous, what's the best mods out there for these quad-cammers?

I got a buddy that's wanting to lay some smack down on some LS-1 punks around town, and he wants to get some input from y'all. :beer:

Full length subframes are a great place to start, 99/01s react to mods just about like the venerable 5.0s except they rev higher than any stock 5.0 can do safely. Underdrives, exhaust and a Cool air intake are good performance mods also. If he wants to beat LS1 without juice or boost then he needs to look into porting his stock intake/heads, install a set of new bumpsticks and a set of longtubes wouldnt hurt either. Get rid of the stock 3.27 gears in favor of 4.30s, suspension will also need upgrading, especially the IRS. Wheel hop is a major problem.

4.10/4.30 gears, CAI, x/h pipe, shifter, catback, and pulleys, he should be able to rape LS1's if he's a good driver......

Trev, with a JLT CAI, underdrive pullies and Magnaflow Catback, I got 312/311. I now have a Prochamber and Predator tune to go with it. I guess (sotp feel) it is higher now. I have not dyno'd it with the predator and prochamber, and never will as I pick up my new 04 Cobra tomorrow. Sorry, I feel like a traitor, but you can get 'em below invoice right now and I have no will power. I will have a few things for sale...I'll let you know...

thats what I have, it is ok but I am planning on going to a JLT setup, I could probably sell you mine if you want one.

its all about smart shopping, i am the most budget type shopper you could find...... but if you're just looking to spend a few hundred bucks, buy some gears and a used nitrous kit, keep it @ 100 shot and you'd be satisfied

well i be ok with a 75shot wetkit with my stock injectors ?? and MAF ??

yeah, nothing more than 100 shot though, anything more than 100 shot you have to start screwing around with the timing on these cars..... its not like the old 5-oh where you could spray a 200 shot on a stock bottom and stock computer!

125 is safe
