Default Decision time for next mod....

Should I go for a new 03/04 cobra hood and front bumper or should I get an intercooler? I've been waiting to get my hands on the cobra front end. With a paint job priceof $300 for both pieces (know the bodyshop guy), I am stuck on whether I should go for appearance or should I go with adding an i/c to my s/c stang...

Your stang already looks great, why not add a few more hp before you throw on the cobra stuff?

intercooler ftw!

+1. Go before show. I bought my stang last summer and have yet to do any major performace mod because I blew all of my mod money on visual stuff. I've regretted it ever since. Lol

When you get the intercooler you will probably want to retune to take advantage of it, so figure the cost of that into your decision.

Intercooler = more boost at a lower charge temp = more HP!!!! Intercooler FTW!!!

Well, Intercooler would be both looks and performance if you had a cobra bumper... not sure if you can see it with a gt bumper. I vote intercooler.

Id say cams, for the simple fact that you can get 50 to 60 more hp depending upon how aggressive you go...then the intercooler id also suggest getting a 100 shot of noz...not to spray in the motor but set it up to spray on your, not in, on your intercooler from the front, you can freeze it as long as its aluminum, with 2 x 100 shot purges, now your intercooler is -60 degrees so when your air goes through it you can gain even more horse power, because your air is so much more cold, but its up to you.....just a thought
