Parts are starting to show up every other day - the wife is getting to know the UPS driver! :ak47: LOL!

Still need to order the Pro-M and 42lb Injectors. Am on the hunt for Springs as well. I have plenty of time as I don't plan on getting the Cobra back on the road until May..... :boobs: :boobs: :boobs: :boobs: :boobs: :boobs: :boobs:

I'm sure prices have changed since my Cobra was modded ... this set-up is approx. $4200-$4500. That's a parts only estimate for the Vortech S/C system, upgraded in-tank fuel pump, 42#/hr injectors, FPR and 80mm MAF. The AFM Powerpipe is another $250.

I'm coming in under your budget numbers, but, not by much:

Kurgan gave me the Vortech, powerpipe and pump for $3250.00 shipped

Injectors and Pro-m should run me $650.00 / unless I go used $300-350?

Still need a couple gauges, a center-vent two gauge holder im thinking.

Now I will need a tune / Dyno - ??????

My cars in Michigan and I live real close to Pauls High performance - he's pretty well known in the area - hope to have paul tune it for me. :headbang:

As for the extra gauges, here's a better looking alternative IMO than blocking the air vents -

Autometer Phantom gauges - Air/fuel ratio, boost and fuel pressure. The A/F gauge is digital, the other two are analog.

Thanks Z282SLO! I will be getting gauges next.

I ordered an 80mm mass-air meter and 42lb injectors yesterday. Still need an FPR / gauges.
