Meet my Cobra!

Okay, here is the lowdown on this '99 Cobra Vert.
She was assembled at the Dearborn Assembly Plant on March 24, 1999. She is #488 of 4,055.

I bought this car back in February 2005 in Michigan (Via EBAY). I was so excited as my wife drove me from Southern Illinois to St. Louis, where I caught a plane to Pontiac. The ride home was sweeeet, but I babied her since I didn't know how her maintenance records were. Lucky for me, I had the dealership throw in a 3 month warranty; because 1 mile from my house (after over 800 miles) the car tossed a timing chain through the valve cover.
Long story short, the car has since been rebuilt with a 302 stroker kit, Diablo Chip, MGW short throw shifter (Cobra-Bob Gaskets), Bassani Mid-length headers, Bassani -Pipes (catted), Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, Redline Hood-lift supports, wheels from a 2004 Cobra (and stock tires), Cobra grill emblem, Billet Pedals, Steeda Power Pullys, Timing adjuster, Mac Cold air intake a BBk 65mm Throttle body, Ford Racing gears (3.73) and all fluids are Royal Purple.
I'm currently awaiting my turn on the dyno so I can report some numbers.
So, this Cobra is back from the dead. What'ya think?
