Exclamation Favorite mod

What is your favorite mod and why? This includes the Cost/hours of install and the amount of gain you got out of it. One of my favorite mods was the accufab TB on my cobra. Took me like 10 minutes to complete and noticed a decent amount of power increase.

I think the Mac Prochamber is probably the best mod I've done so far. I don't know how much power if gave me, but I'm assuming somewhere around
10rwhp. Next month I'm going to install an intake spacer that is supposed to do wonders for Mach's so we'll see....maybe that will be my favorite mod!

My best mod that i have done would have to be my KB blower. You cant go wrong with an extra 130+ RWHP and an extra 100+ RWFT/LBs of TQ

Interesting.

I have to say the custom grind cams. The install was out of my league but it is worth paying someone to do it right.

hell yes i need more power...but since I do alot of autox racing now, these tires grip to almost no end. I have consistenltly run between .1-1 full second within cobra's. also have beaten some on the autox course. so the car is set up pretty good for that, i am going to do some suspension then a mach 1/cobra brake kit, then go for more power. in autox it is 90% driving skill and the other 10% car performance.
