I am sure this has been posted, but I am having no luck with my searches. Please only post useful info. for me. And preferably, some first-hand knowledge!

1. What type of CAI should I go with?
2. What type of shifter?
3. What type of exhaust?
4. What pulley combination?
5. In reference to above, what length belt will I need?
6. Is the Diablosport Predator the best piggy-back to go with?
7. In reference to above, if not, should I just get a dyno tune? If so, where would be the best shop in the South East?
8. What type of clutch should I go with for the T56? I am looking to achieve about 500 rwhp.
9. What gears?
10. What brakes?
11. What heat exchanger?
12. Best oil?
13. Best injectors?

Again, please post any valuable knowledge you may have. Please don't keep it a secret! I plan on doing pretty much all of these mods within the first couple weeks of having the car. I am just looking for about 500-550 rwhp. All of these questions should be answered with the assumption that I am working on a stock 03 Cobra. Thanks in advance for all of your help and answers. Please feel free to add any info and opinions.

Thanks again everyone!

Well you could debate forever which is best. I can only tell what I have on my 03, it dyno'd at 490 rwhp / 475 rwtq.

1. K&N FIPK W/JLT ram air tube / Had a densecharger before but like the K&N better
2. MGW (hands down) / PRO 5.0 before, MGW is SOOO much better
3. Bassani X-pipe w/cats and Bassani catback (not to loud at idle or crusing/but really comes on at WOT)
4. Billetflow 2.93 / w/full idlers
5. Belt sizes are listed on the billetflow site, as are the different combos you can get.
6/7. Dyno Tuned, Amazion in S.C is a VERY good shop.
8. Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, Centerforce T/O Bearing (ford one is JUNK) Centerforce P-Plate
9. Stock Gears
10 Stock calipers, Hawk Pads, Brembo slotted and dimpled rotors
11. Gords W/O fans. If you plan on doing alot of back to back drag runs, or hard road raceing you might want the fans
12. Mobil 1 full syn w/K&N filter
13 Stock inj.

Additional I have a Stage III Stiegmier port on the blower/TB/and inlet. Eibach Springs.

You will get many different opinions about this. I not saying these are the best This is just what I'm running and my expereince with some of these parts.

Hope this helps
