Question help with a virgin 99 Cobra

Ok now I own a 99 Cobra convertable which appears to be virgin. I am looking for ideas on performance mods that start at reasonable cost up to where I would like to be with a supercharger on it. Now I have done the following: installed a Hurst pro shifter, Flow Masters, downladed the Diablo performance tune with 1 deg of advancement in timing. I also just received some Kenny Brown Club Sport Springs to be installed this weekend. I am old school so this stuff is new to me but I want to hear from you guys who tried and suceeded or failed.

I have owned two SVT cobras, a 99 coupe and a 03 vert.

On my 99 I put the Steeda timing advance and underdrive pulley kit in, also a mid and catback pipe system.

I had Eibach springs on all four corners.

I had 4:10 gears on the shelf ready to install before I pulled the trigger on at the time new 03. That gear ratio was supposed to really wake up the 4.6 at the time so it could compete with the SS camero and trans am. to compensate for the speedo change Dallas mustang has a compensator unit that you plugged in with switches for tire and gear ratio sizes.

The 03 had many more mods and was a blast to drive.

If you boost be really careful as the motor is not nearly as strong as the 03 iron block.

The 03 was a blast but I fell into the C6 vette and have not looked back towards the new shelby. If Ford would have kept the terminator style and added a 5.4 I would have one in the garage next to the 72 Mach
