Yea, you will need some colder plugs to prevent spark blowout at higher rpms. Our cars came stock with a platinum plug, gapped at about .045. You will have spark blowout at a higher than factory boost rating due to the hotter plug and larger air gap. Most people with 03/04 cobras install NGK TR6s gapped at .035. This will eliminate any blowout problems.
Make sure when you install a blower pulley, you take it flush with the snout!! Alot of people don't do this and begin shredding belts! This gets xpensive fast!! I purchased a Metco Motorsport pulley puller and install kit. I help a lot of the snake owners around here, swap pulleys and upgrade their cars.

Is it hard to change the plugs. I didnt think you needed them with just a pulley swap.

The plugs are easy to change. They are under the covers on the valve covers. Just take out the 2 bolts on each one and lift it off and the coil packs are underneath. Pull the coil pack off and the plug is under it. Be gentle taking the plugs out and installing the new ones. If you cross thread it in the aluminum head youare in big trouble! I recommend the ngktr6 plugs. I was having spark knock with my stock plugs after the pulley swap, but the ngktr6 plugs solved that.

Billetflow's removal tool is the ABSOLUTE BEST offered.

I have a puller from Pulleyboys. Cheap & it worked just fine.

I agree that the Billetflow puller is the absolute best available. Others will work, Doug's is just better and works easily all the time. It's the only one I recommend. Doug rents them if you don't want to buy one. Here's the web address. It also explains how the rental program works. http://billetflow.com/Pulley_Puller.htm
