forged smorged.. the stock can take up to 450 HP i dont think many people will pass that.. given they will need not only internenals, a tranny upgrade, new rear end, heads, cams, pistons, intake manifold etc. might as well do a cobra swap
didn't you also previously post that a throttle body and plenum were mods that are worth it?

unless you find a wrecked cobra that hasn't already been stripped to the frame, you're probably going to spend more on a complete cobra swap.

why dont you start a list of mods that ARENT USELESS that way you can plan it out... here my list
GEARS*** (#1)
Throttle Body and Plenum
LONG TUBE headers
and finally... A TWIN TURBO DUAL INTERCOOLED TURBO SYSTEM MAKING 600+HP
too bad we cant use plenums. Plus ur a v8 in the 6er section. We have to plan otherwise we could build one crappy piece using crappy mods. Also you know you cant use ur LT's with a TT set up right?

but doesnt the turbo use exhaust power it? cause a TMA Turbo the way they set up their system uses their own specialized headers. OOOOOOOOOOOOOH just thought of something. What if you put the piping for turbos right in between the end of the LT and the H-pipe or what ever ur using!?!?!? did i just think of a break through? or do people already use this??? i need to know

u cant use a plenum because of the way the intake manifold is setup. The plenum is already sort of attached to the manifold itself.[:@]It kind sucks, cause a new shiny *** plenum would look pretty sweet underneath our 6er hoods.
