Welcome, what mods does your cobra already have? The answer you'll get here will be largely based on what you already have done. The often used formula for when you first start modding an 03/04 Cobra is.....
1.CAI
2.Cat back exhaust
3.Pulley+tune
4.Mid Pipe

You wouldn't want to go much further then that as far as power without fixing the kinks in the suspension, mostly beefing up the IRS. Anyway, when you gete a chance post up some pics, and list whats already done and we can go from there.

EDIT: What did you mean by compression was 15p? Your compression ratio should be 8.5:1. And if you're talking about psi, then you should be reading between 8-9. Maybe 10 on a cold day. 15 psi would indicate you got a smaller pulley already.

First off, I think I'm jealous! Terminator at 21... pfft, I won't even tell you what I was driving at 21

But congrats, I'm sure it only took you about 4 seconds to realize how much fun these things are to drive!
