Possibly both. I'm looking at a couple of cars. Either a 99+ gt or cobra, or a 2005 - 2010 gt. If I get an older gt or cobra, it will get a kenne bell later this year. A 2005 or up gt I would likely keep relatively stock but my understanding is that those cars need a tune after even minor mods. Regardless I think I might also benefit from a tune due to elevation. My understanding is that compression essentially lowers at higher elevations, and allows tunes with more timing due to thinner air. I'm leaning more towards an older car with a KB because, from my understanding, FA cars lose a lower percentage of HP at higher elevations than NA cars. We live at just over 5300 feet and travel in to the mountains means rising to anywhere from 7k to 10k feet. I also must admit that I think a KB just looks nice under the hood and sounds awesome.

This is just for a car for work / school so I don't want to spend more than around 10k or so, which rules out 2011+ cars and 03 cobras.
