Two things jump out at me- the RPM heads don't match up with the rest of the engine, flow- wise. And the Superformance sidepipes have a reputation of being very restrictive.
A set of Vic. Jr. heads or AFR 185/205's would really wake up this engine. The cam is fairly mild, with that displacement a cam in the .550 lift range would be better suited. However, you should easily be in the 400-430 range at the flywheel, which isn't too shabby in a Cobra and will be more than enough horsepower to be entertaining.
