I am also debating U/D pullies even though I'm a big hater on them. They are proven to add 10-12rwhp on the cobra engines. Also, what dyno did you use, those numbers look a little low. Those should be stock numbers! I'll crap if my car does that. I'm hoping for 300-310rwhp after my U/D pullies.
Don't waste your money on a T/B as there is plenty of air for the stock t/B to flow. The stocker is good for s/c units!
With the 4:30's I would say you could port your intake. shorten the runners up a bit. You can find them done on ebay for less han $500

You must haven't had any personal experiences with LT headers then. They will add 15rwhp!!! They will help you on that low end grunt the 96-98 motors so eagerly desire. Also, you need to lose those 3:73's for any increase in g-forces. I am in the same boat. I went with 3:73's with my NPI engine and loved them. I went with them because I didn't want to be screamin on the highway, but they just aren't enough for the Cobra motors. Also, you have auto, I would have went with 4:10's with the nPI anyways. I would say buckle doen and get some 4:30's for an auto tranny as I'm gonna swap in some 4:10's for my 5spd. 2900rpms at 80mph With LT's and Magnapacks here I come...lol
