oh ok.. if you and your buddy are doin it together, then that makes it a bit easier.. I could probably do headers myself; but don't want the hassle to be honest...

Ported blower/Nitrous was my original plan with my Cobra, but obviously it didn't get that far, haha.. however, I do have some friends in my ear about a certain mach 1 with a certain 100-125 shot ugh! lol

What are you talking about? LongTube headers are worth almost 30rwhp on these cars.
Also, a modded cobra producing 15psi(2.66" i believe) will make no more than 480rwhp without LT's. That is on a realistic Mustang Dyno. Real numbers not over inflated DynoJet numbers.
There were 2 simliar 03 cobras on the dyno when I went and one ran 466rwhp and the other 476rwhp. Your only making roughly 440-50rwhp is my guess
