The first thing I got is Drag Radials..... I like Drag racing and my cobra would burn out all the way through 3rd gear and wouldn't get good traction til 4th. So I got some nitto 555rs and they are great. Still burn in first but once 2nd gear hits Its gone!!!! So that's my opinion is to get some radials to handle all that power getting put to the ground

the first things i got done on my cobra was 2.8 pulley,lfp dual pass heat exchanger, centerforce df,ford gt supercar fuel pumps, o/r x pipe,tri ax shifter, and a dyno tune from gearheads performance in arlington ,tx. are you looking to install everything yourself or have a shop do it? if your close to the dfw area and looking for a shop gearheads then look no further tell how much hp you want and then turn them loose.

2.8 upper and i may be looking at a 2 or 4lbs lower pulley today i am about to head gearheads as we speak. as far as the tune i think it was 200 also i would say if your planning on driving the car to gearheads after mods i would stay out of the boost til you get a safe tune installed. could be hard to stay out boost because there are some nice open roads between san angelo and ft worth
