[97 bolt on Cobra]

So I have just recently dropped my car off at "Mustang Muscle in High Ridge, Missouri". they are adding a few things and finally dialing everything in on dyno. my big question...what more can i do N/A to get gains. When I get my car back and have Final HP/TQ #'s i will post them.
Thanks in advance for anyone giving me advice, much appreciated.

Electric water pump is worth a few HP

I would be careful with My Spark Disappeared coils. Ive had a few of them fail over the years with very low mileage. The OEM coils are the best coils out there for them AFAIK. If youre still running the stock cams, thats a place you can pick up some power but you have 4 of them so its expensive and you will need a tune after changing them. If you do cams, a throttle body may be a good investment too but I wouldnt change the TB without cams. With all of that said, a blower or turbo would be one of best investments you can make regarding money invested vs power gained. A set of cams is about half the price of a blower kit.

+1 on stock coils

Cams, baby. Cams. 4v can return major gains with better cams. Factory cams are not exceptional. Will need to do springs with any cam worth doing. Lots of cam with a 4v will reduce low rpm power but with IMRC plates still in the mix you'll probably have the best of both worlds. If you put fat cams in it you'll probably start running at the limit of or exceeding the capacity of your 24# injectors so you will likely need to go to 30's or slightly higher. My 02 v4 swapped GT needs more injector and it's pushing 330rwhp on 24's.

So your suggesting
1. OG Coil Pack's
2. MHS 4.6L 4V Stage 2 N/A Camshafts
3. Throttle Body.
4. 30+LB's Fuel Injectors
Cherry On Top.... TUNE!

Going to need a tune. TB I'd skip. It's just money for nothing.

Throttle body would only be needed if you're seeing a restriction at high rpm. It may or may not be needed. The stock throttle body is 57mm. I don't know if better cams are going to flow enough to see a restriction. If your going to buy injectors, i would recommend Siemens deka4 80s. They are the same price as other injectors but you are likely to never outgrow them, even if you decide to add forced induction.

Dual 57mm is a little bigger than an 80mm TB, should be good for a while

I really should have asked these questions before i went and got a Tune, I appreciate your advice...only regret is not posting the "Prior" to dropping my car off for tune. by the time i make it back up to Missouri to get my car Dyon'd again, ill be adding boost

I mean in Actuality though are we EVER TRULY done building our cars? No, Hell No..not even close. I'm always adding Performance/Non-Performance parts lol.
This is just another addiction that has no big consequences & Smiles-Per-Gallon is a real thing!

If you put an electric water pump on you won't need a retune. It has no effect on the tune at all.

Sweet dude! thanks for the clarity!
