What mod should I do next?? My Sig: is below so first check that out first. I was wondering what you guys think should be my next mod? I was either going for a f13 cam or subframe connectors but not sure what to do. I know I need some traction with what I have already (Damn Yoko's!!). If would get some Nitto's 555 but still have plenty of traction of the Yoko's I have now!!
Anyways just want some opinions.

Since you don't want to get any drag radial's yet I'm thinking s.f.c.'s should probably be next. But to give you something to ponder, a good set of d.r.'s would probably take about two tenths off of your 1/4 times. Maybe more.

there's no point to power if you don't have traction, but then there's no point to traction if you don't have power...
i'd go for the cheaper stuff first, then buy a nice H/C down the road

you could hang witha 03-04 cobra that is stock but depends on what cam you end up going with. If you are debating bewtween a cam and subframe connectors it is a simple choice the subframes. When you do the cam it will cost you more than you think, you will need new pushrods, timing chain, valvesprings. after all is said and done with the tuning and buying and installing the parts you will be looking at 1000+ for a cam.

I did all that at once with my last car. Ordered up ud pully, SFCs, and cam pkg, and installed it all at once. So I woud get the SFCs first if you have to pick between one or the other. Thing is, like someone already mentioned, the price diff between these two choices are enourmous. A cam only setup and a tune will run you $900+ where the SFCs are less than 1/4 of that price.
Oh, and about the cobra. I ran into a cool guy at the track last time out with a basically stock 03 Cobra. He only had a Bassani catback and CAI. He was 60fting 2.0s and running 12.50s@113. With the cam and some DRs coupled with your converter and other mods you would have NO problem with a "stock" 03.
As far as the gear swap, it has been said many times that the swap from 3.23s to 3.73s aren't worth the time, money, or effort. Keep those 3.23s in there. If you upgrade to a 12 bolt in the future then go with some steeper gears if your heart so desires.
Good luck man
