Got my first 03 Cobra Bittersweet actually, I love Cobras. Basic pullied 2.8, CAI, tuned and CB and he had DR's but we only went from a roll.
Ran into a beautiful Red 03 just driving around...I really don't drive my car that much so sometimes I take it out for 20-30 minutes to beat on it a little. The guy was behind me working hard cutting everybody off to get up with me thinking it would be an easy kill since I have the stock mufflers and the car is so quiet Im sure he thought it was stock.
We simply went from a 45ish roll and I left it in "S" mods and let the A6 downshift (takes a second) and he put about a fender on me from the hit but I just walked as the speed increased. We shut down at 130ish with me about 3 cars out but I think he could have done better. We caught the light a few minutes later (with traffic) and he was amazed since he thought it was stock. I told him my mods and he was ok with the loss. I told him about my KB Cobra and advised him to ditch the Eaton.
My current mods
Vengeance N20 cam 224/235/610/620/115 (no N20 yet though)
Vararam
Kooks 1 7/8's w/3" x 3" offroad
Ported TB
Ported LS2 intake
A6 tune (amazing)
Vengeance/COW tune
Its enough to get into the 11's @ 119-121 but it is really strong above 80-90mph, it impresses me with these few mods. The car rips from the line though so it would have been fun from a dig since he had dr's.
Fun race and I still love the Cobras!
Next few mods, my TEA heads, Ported FAST and 150 shot. Then a 408 w/ 200 shot and some fuel. I need another raise soon.

The stock tailpipes are 2.5" and the Kooks are 3" all the way back right until the tailpipes, it necks down to 2.5.http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...t=MVI_2103.flv
Honestly, I can't spend a lot on a muffler. I may just get a Flowmaster CB (since they all add very little power) for a bit more sound but I feel "dirty and cheap" settling for a Flowmaster on a C6. I refuse to spend over $400 on 5rwhp.

I think i am going the ported eaton route just because the KB is gonna pretty far down the road (at least 2 years). Gotta wait till i get outta college before i make that kinda money payment for a mod. Either way, a stage 3/4 ported eaton cobra is pretty damned fast...

No doubt! With all the big bore KB's and Whipples though, you can pick up a used 2.2 for under $2K and for the extra cash, you will have much more room to grow even keeping with the 2.2. You can only run 20lbs on pump gas anyway, so it's not a huge need to go much larger. 600+ rwhp is more than enough and you can always add some sauce when needed. Ask Unit.
