'03 Cobra - Tuning options

TheJeanyus · 09-14-2005, 05:35 PM

I'm considering doing a little tuning on the Cobra. I know there is a lot of room for improvement over the factory tune on these cars. What exactly are my options? I know that I can get a chip burned or go with something like a Predator, but what should I look into and what should I stay away from? I plan to add a blower pulley in the future, too. I'd like to be able to do some of it myself, but I really don't see myself spending endless hours tinkering with the tune. I want to get it right, then let it go. I don't plan on anything radical with this car, just a daily driveable car that makes between 450 and 500 hp (which is fully attainable with the Eaton I believe) on pump gas and handles really well.

He has the Pro Racer kit, right?

.........For those year models I have not seen anything yet that works as good as the SCT Pro-Racers package.
