Increase Power to a 2001 SVT Cobra?

I have recently acquired a 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible. It has the stock 320 hp and 317 lb/ft. but doesn't seem much faster than my '05 GT. Anything I can do here to increase the hp? The engine recall has already been done, so it really is pushin 320hp.

Everything is stock, so anything would be nice.



1. Exhaust: Flowmaster or Borla?

2. Intake: K%26amp;N or AEM?

3. What size Throttle Body?

4. Tuner: Diablo or Superchips?



Dont want to supercharge, I like NA cars!



And another nice thing to know would be: what is the stock differential? (3.55? 3.73?)

great car.........



1)exhaust: flowmaster, magnaflow, bassani, borla. all exceptional quality %26amp; really comes down to the sound you prefer.

borla is famous for the deeper rumble, flowmaster for the aggressive bark.

exhaust an entirely personal thing when you do full catbacks/x-pipe. i had bassani on my last ride (01 gt) and run magnaflows on present drive (prefer the magnaflows)...get on you tube and listen to some ofr the sound clips - lots there



2)CAI, have no experience with AEM, my experience with both K%26amp;N and BBK very good - with an aftermarket quality CAI there is a not a lot that you can do to differentiate 1 manufacturer from the other.



3)throttle body, 75mm will be best and provide for potential future enhancements



4)tuner, i used a diablo predator to "stock tune" my modifications on my gt and my pro-shop used a predator to run a custom tune on my present car.

most cobra guys however tend to like SCT.

summary either one is good and easily allows reprogramming at other installations



other :

- headers (serious improvement) lots available, here's 1 example

-rear end gears stock is 3.27 way too tall %26amp; but if most of what you are doing is street driving 4.10's will make you much quicker from the get go...if you do some highway stuff 3.73's

-short throw shift



i can't remember if the 01 bumper has "mustang'" or "cobra" on it

some of the cobras did not....and so if it does not not get a cobra bumper!



any other questions you can write me



good luck, cheers 04 cobra, whipple blower 15lbs boost

exhaust whould help alot leting your car breath will increase the horses... i would eather go with a mild to moderate flowmaster or a magnaflow.. an K%26amp;N air filters are better because you can wash the filter out an reuse it plus it will alow more air to enter your motor witch will increase hp.. an maybe a chip cause some of the newer cars have a shut off witch will only let in run so fast no matter what
