I would go and get an Edelbrock or Trickflow upper and lower. Decent power gains for the money.

dude I dont know where you live in CA but if you live anywhere near L.A then you aint got much to worry about the tint. Everyone has all the windows tinted ofcourse except for the windshield, just clearing that up to save any stupid q's about ALL. But yeah do the tint if not get gears if you dont have them but if you do then yeah what everyone else says, u/l intake, cam and or both.

im thinking about the cobra. its $30 more and isnt it better? how much skill does it take to install one? would i need to get better intake? would this take off too much torque?

It's not that hard. If you have a haynes manual it will be explain everything to you in detail. If you dont have one I would recommend getting one it helps you learn about the car you are driving and saves you money from mechanics.
