Ive had my bone stock 95 Cobra for 2 yrs now, and finally a month ago tacked on my first mod (K&N FIPK). Any reccomendations of othe smaller mods to get a little extra HP outta her.

I took her out to Pacific raceway monday and was emotionally moved with each lap. Is this kind of love affair a bad thing she never disappoints me.

Offroad H pipe... Sounds great and will pick up alot of power....
Ehaust... See Above
Gears... The best mod I have ever done to my car... Makes it an animal
It all depends on how much you feel like spending? Which direction do you want to go with the car? Drag, Road, Street?

Start w/ gears, hands down. Go w/ 3.73's (manual) or 4.10's (auto). You have "decent" heads and 1.7 roller rockers if it's a cobra, as well as a 70mm MAF, so do some exhaust upgrades.

+1 Gears should be your first upgrade. And considering its a manual than I would go with 3.73's or higher. Also, you can look into exhaust for your next mods. Also, did you ever consider a small shot?

I think that if you only have a screwdriver/wrench set and you don't have training about cars or a place to work that you should not try to have a 'modded' car.
You need to be able/willing to get nasty, dirty gritty if you want a modded car.
You may be able to pay somebody for all the but then you have nothing but a 'checkbook' car.....
