UCA = Upper Control Arm

LCA = Lower Control Arm

You can get short runner intakes. You can also do camshafts. There are no aftermarket heads for our cars though. He might want to get a set of '03 heads like the Mach has though.

Gears is a huge thing. These beasts are born to rev. All bolt ons ie: headers, mid pipe, catback, inlet, pullies. I'd bring everything together with a chip. You may not see huge gains with it, but it won't hurt. For best times, get yourself a set of gears (4.30 minimum if you ask me), and some sticky tires. The IRS is the weak point, but there are plenty of mods to take care of that. Give her hell.

i don't neccesarily want an all out drag car. but i do want lots and lots of power. maybe an auto crosser. i don't know. seems like theres a wall to modding a cobra. this i'm not used to as a former 5.0L owner. how do i get big power out of this engine?
