Are you looking for HP and torque gains, or just acceleration? Rear gears is probably the cheapest way to make your car quicker. If HP is what you want, a nice set of headers and an O/R H pipe would be a good bet.

Best mod for $600 is.......TWO (count 'em, two) driver-school courses (HPDE) through N.A.S.A.

IMO NOS is jsut a cheap way to gain HP. Go with headers/exhaust, then you've got the HP for real.

But a lot of people go ahead and NOS their cars, but forget to uprate the running gear, the brakes on a standard GT will not have as much stopping power as on a Cobra (I think), also, suspension set-ups are different to allow for the extra hp's

Presume you mean for your 1993 Cobra. A Cobra has most of the mods SVO would recommend for folks with standard 5.0L Mustangs.(intake, heads, rockers, 24lb injectors,etc.etc.) Only exception would be to replace the four cat system with the SVO bolt-on offroad exhaust. And of course install a K&N oversized cone filter or similar other brand. I do not know what gears a 1993 Cobra had-3.55? 3.23? 3.73 or similar will increase acceleration considerably(and decrease gas mileage). That about expends the $600.00
Underdrive pulleys also help once you have freed up the engine and increased the power band.
How many miles on the engine? And what type of cylinder pressures do you have? Any blow back through the valve seals? Need to know the health of your motor if considering NOS as an option.
How fast do you wish to go?

4.10 gears and a Bassani Exhaust including a X-pipe with High Flow cats or an OFF road X pipe depeneding on whether or not you want to be emmisions legal. Long Tube Headers and a full cat back and Perf mufflers. Nitrous is great until u end up going through 3 bottles per day.
