Congrats on your Cobra I hope you enjoy it!
The biggest problem with the IMRC plates is that overtime they
get gummed up and start sticking definitley delete your IMRC plates
or clean them.There are write up's all over the internet about how to
delete your IMRC plates and everyone I know that had them deleted them.
A good start to mods would be installing FRPP 3.73 or 4.10 gears,subframe connectors,,K&N drop in air filter or cold air intake etc.
What condition is your clutch in?
You could also install a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch you will love it.

Get 4.10s. You'll still get decent milage. From what I hear, 3.73s just arent worth it in these high revving motors

I would go with 3.90 gears if you want to be conservative, otherwise go with 4.10s. I ran 4.30 gears in a DD years ago and would not suggest going that short.

You will notice a difference for sure if you go with 3.73s, but the higher reving motors like a little more gear to get the best out of them. That is why I say go with 3.90 if you want to stay conservative in your set-up.

GOOD LUCK!!!
