Hmm I wonder if the cams off of a 4,6 DOHC aviator engine would be an improvement. Or maybe you can run Nos or SC cams without having either of those.

where are you looking for your cams?

The problem you're going to have is with your cobra motor. Probably not as many options for those at the standard motors.

Few online venders.


Would longtubes require removing the engine?

More then likely gonna need to get custom ground cams. They cost about the same the only thing is you want to have a good idea about what your end goals are going to be and have them made to fit that.

Typically they are a good investment however.

Well I guess not the boot itself just the adhesive to the bezel.

AM, plug n play. Cleaned the lenses of the tail lights and new bulbs while I was at it.

Also installed the turn signal flasher thing.

Only problem I ran into on this install was dropping a bolt in the trunk and having to look for it. Very straight forward.

Any suggestions on a handling mod? As far as I know I only have lowering springs and tokico shock.

Thanks

Well I have no personal experience with either (still need to install my LCAs), but I'd go with the SFCs because it's a vert. Don't think your would cobra have them already but you might want to check on that. They should really stiffen things up for you and make it a much more solid car. I've heard MM and steeda make some really nice ones. I'd like to get some eventually, but I've got other things like wheels and gears higher up in the list. I'm sure someone with more knowledge can chime in.
