you can find cobra owners willing to swap straight up relatively easily.
Gears, CAI, and exhaust. Do cold air intakes make a huge HP difference? No but they DO make it a little more sparky on the top end not to mention they just help your engine run smoother and better. Get a BBK or K&N. I personally wouldnt mess with the computer at all... no tune. When you tune a car, its taking away the factory specifications of the way it was meant to run. When you start (or get someone else to start) experimenting with the computer.. it takes the reliability out of it. Besides... gears are the best way to unleash your engines potential without breaking your wallet. Go 3.73s. they are great on the bottom end and still get you up to good speed before you top out. 4.10s are great off the start.. but youll regret it if your racing someone on the freeway. Just my .02 haha. Just get the gears, exhaust, and a CAI and then see if your pleased... did it to my 02 and it was BY FAR faster than a stock gt.. it would even run with a stock mach 1. Good luck!

^^^my friend, those rims look horrible. Just my opinion tho... Also man, you went up from a V-6 to a V-8 correct? Why are you worried about gas mileage. Just saying. Rest of the car looks good tho..
