Default 97 Cobra wants big power

I have a 97 cobra with the following modifications BBK cold air intake, BBK twin 65mm Throttle body, BBK long tube headers w/ matching short off-road H-pipe and 2 chamber flowmasters, it also has 4:10 gears in the rear and a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. I'm wanting to try and keep up with the newer cobras and even bust a vette, and I know a s/c would be the way to go, but I'm trying to get as much power from the engine as I can keeping it Naturally Aspriated. If anyone has any suggestions please send them this way.

cams and P&P heads, other then that theres not a whole lot. you probably will need N20, a s/c, or turbo if you want to keep up with vetts, what vetts do you want to keep up with, C4, C5, or C6. that also determins how much hp you will need

cams and head work, full exhaust, stroker kit, steeper gears, there are plenty of ways to boost the power of your cobra.

N20 would be the easiest way to get the power though.

has anyone seen the power gains from having head work done i'm wondering if it's worth the money to spend or should I just keep saving for the s/c
