we need more details on the motor. Have you had the car dyno'ed?

Sidepipe typical lose 40 to 100 hp on a Cobra.

You can install better sidepipe mufflers for $150 plus the welding and the cost of the coating. Are your pipe ceramic or paint?

Cam change alone may not increase your hp. Your intake, carb, heads and cam work together. Your exhaust system is part of the puzzel also.

Air in Air out

If money is not a problem then you can changes parts out till you get the hp you want. But I'm always on a budget so I have to plan everything so it will work together and produce the max hp for the dollar.
