Default A few more horses?

One more race this summer, and I'm trying to get a little more HP without spending lots of $$$

I've only installed a K&N cold air intake on my '01 Cobra, and bought some Nitto racing radials. I've gotten below 14.00 sec only three times. So the question is...what can I do to squeeze a few more horses out of her? Spark plugs? Wires? Octane booster?

Any advice will be appreciated.

You can take out the passenger seat, and the rear seats. I think you should get some gears and ull easily be ing the 13's.

Thanks 97slobra. I know the 'vert is heavy plus the roll bar adds weight.
I take all the crap outta the trunk (not too sure about removing the seat)
I won't have time to change gears before Saturday though. That will have to wait for next year.

Exhaust stock? Throttle body and upper intake stock? Engine is an air compressor...more air in and more air out is more ponies-Shane

cheap hp=bag of ice. ice down the intake manifold in between runs. usually worth a tenth or two. experiment w/ tire pressure in those nittos, and practice, practice, practice your launch. and get some 4:10's or 4:30's on that bad boy stat!

I have put a number of mods on an 01cobra but for the $$$ putting el cheapo glass pack mufflers versus the stock mufflers really gave the car a big power boost. Need the type that are straight thru not chamber like FM 40's but more like the Borla or Loud Mouth but these only cost about $75 for both.
