RE: what do you suggest?
ORIGINAL: da boss
opps I didn't know i would need long tubes but it does make since.
Ok what about this list then:
1.) 4.10 gears
2.) BBK throttle body and plenium
3.) CAI
4.) DR's (stock rims)
5.) short throw shifter
6.) Lowering springs
7.) Chip
I think I could install most of that my self and I would still lose about 1/2 second if not maybe a little more.

Are you planning on LTs later? If you are not, replace the intake stuff with a X pipe.
Know that even the nittos are not gonna last more than about 10,000 miles. If you don't want to be replacing tires that often, spend a little more and get a catback.

I also could put the money in to getting a 99 convertible cobra and putting all those same mods on. There are 2 99 cobras for sale around my area for the same price of a 01 GT. So I know this is probably a dumb questions but do you think it would better to wait for a 99 cobra convertible to show up and just be satisfied for a one year older car and a little more insurance?

dont be scared of pullies (just make sure theyre steeda or some other brand that is non-piggyback)...they will not hurt your engine in the least and will give you about 6-8 rwhp as well as improve your gas mileage slightly. Intake spacers are a waste of time they will net you little, if any hp/torque.

KEEP your stock stuff though. I didn't keep mine, and ended up trading them for some stockers. I got lucky, the stockers are expensive from ford!
