So here I am with my 03 cobra ready to begin modding, bone stock to the paper filter and factory goodyears. At first I considered getting a catback, K&N, 2.80 pullie and a tune I figured 450-460ish would be allright until I get used to the power( I bought the car late in the fall so I still need a lot of seat time)
But you know what? fuck it, Im getting twin screwed!
So this is the plan, Im getting the 2.3 whipple, a catback(I dont know what brand yet) and K&N FIPK to begin with, I want to do it in stages so I'd like to run the whipple at 13psi, I did a little reaserch and found out you can run the whipple at 13psi without all the supporting mods with a safe tune, Id like to start with this for two reasons, one being budget and the other Id like to grow with the power levels a little at a time. Do you guys see any issues with this set-up to start with?
will the stock MAF hold up?
Can the stock fuel system handle it? if Im not mistaken whipple sells the kit as an upgrade with no need of fuel improvements.
I know Ill need a better clutch and and some attention to the IRS.
Do you guys know what HP can be acheived with the whipple at 13 Psi?
And also I'd like to know how hard is it to swap blowers, I'd say I have intermidiate mechanical abilities, Ive done H/C/I on 5.0's but this is my first modular mustang that I will be messing with so I'd apprecite any advice.
Down the road I plan on getting all the supporting mods(60's, GT pumps, Idlers, heat exchanger, SCT MAF) If for some reason I didnt feel brave enough to take on it, where is a good place to have it installed? and what am I looking at for labor?
Thanks in advance.

. I been on csvt,modfords,svtp,md, reading and learning way before I bought a Cobra and one thing I learned, you mod a car in the same fashion you dress yourself in the morning! You don't put your hat on first! You put your draws on first! one leg at a time. And listening and learning from the guys thats been there and done it, might save you alot of money headache and frustation because your 600 RWHP car don't run 10's! I know 10's Cobra's don't happen overnight with the internet and a credit card takes alot more than that.
