Just bought the car from a good friend of mine. Its a sonic blue convertible with 15k. Where should I start to mod this thing?

 

Attaboy, congrats. I am assuming it's the 03 Cobra listed under your name? If so, double congrats, to me Cobra convertibles are definitely where it's at!

some normal starting mods:

Air intake (JLT is generally said to be the best) endless argument over CAI vs RAI...
Catbacks
upper pulley (as small as 2.76, some ppl prefer something more moderate like a 3.1)

 

oh hey bud, I just saw where you said it already has quite a few mods on it in the 'SVT owners' thread. So it likely already has those starting mods, at least the intake and catbacks, as that's pretty much the normals starting points.

So I'll change my statement slightly, and suggest:
subframe connectors (very useful for the convertibles)
IRS brace
upper pulley
full exhaust
porting roots blower
and if you gots the cash, the old Twin-Screw replacement...

That's my modified 2 cents worth...

 

Congrats!!!! ...any pics?? ...and whats been done to it?

How do I post pics????

 

^^^^ Now that's a list!!!!! .....I use PhotoBucket for all of my pics

Any Dyno or track numbers???

 

Put my car on a dyno jet today and got more than I expected.

596 rwhp 590 tq @ 9 psi

 

suh-weet. For comparison, my stocker is running 435/420. So yeah, you are already well-modded from the start!

 

you sure it was 9 psi and not 19? im assuming it was a typo or your spraying the crap out of that nitrous kit too:P

 

Im positive it was at 9psi and no nitrous at all. Race gas tune on 109 yes
