Talking Finally got some money to spend :)

Okay, so here's the deal. I have a 2003 Torch Red 10th Ann. Cobra, along with $7500.00 that's about to go straight into it. This car is nearly bone stock as it only has a Pro 5.0 shifter, Super 44 Flows, factory H-Pipe with the cats removed. Only exterior changes that have been made are a shaved antenna and the license plate bracket holes filled on the front. Now, I need help spending my money. Pretty much I'm looking at suggestions for any parts/brands for my Cobra.

Oh, BTW I'm not looking at going with a turbo or replacing the supercharger, that is simply not an option.

Things I know I want/need to do:

8000k Headlight/Foglight kit
Cobra Grill Emblem
New 3rd Brake Light (mine is cracked)
Lowering Springs (H&R Sport Springs?)
IRS Diff. Brace
Gen 2 Head Cooling Mod
K&N FIPK Kit and Accufab TB
Bassani Catless X w/ Borla Stinger Catback
Billetflow 2.76 Pulley w/ Idlers
Possible Steggy Stage 5 Port
One hell of a tune..

So please, help me out with suggestions about parts, brands, exterior mods, just anything, I need a feel of what all I want to do.

I want it slammed, sexy, and around 500rwhp

I would go with the BilletFlow TB/Plenum combo over the Accufab. Accufab is known to stick on our cars.

Sounds like you got a good list. I say do the port, pulley, cooling mod, tb, antenna, tune, exhaust (the one you listed). And what is the gear situation with IRS is there any difference?

Umm, Whipple 3.4, new radiator, Fuel system, and that should take care of it. You might have enough for a set of longtubes, but that's my list.
