96 cobra (supercharger?)

[revtech]

ok question thinking about buying a blower for my car .its all stock just has long tube headers and flow masters..what blower do you think i should get??i want the most i can get from this stock motor and if its to much and blows up who cares at least i had fun..

There are several kits available that will bring the motor up to it's fullest, non-breakable horsepower (app. 400 rwhp). I have Vortech's V-2 SQ and I know quite a few others with the Procharger setup. Check out the various websites and give the manufacturer's a call.

You might also check into turbocharging, perhaps there is some savings.

I am guessing you're looking at a minimum $6000 new (including installation) or as little as $2000 for used parts and you're own labor.

i just got a price for the vortech v2 today ans it was $5500 for the kit not inculding injectors and mass air? and kenny bell was $5000 no injectors and mass air as well? vortech i guess good up to 15lbs and kenny up to 11lbs not like i can run all that boost on a stock motor..by the way i check out your ride,nice car.i will post pics of mine soon.let me know what you think on this blower stuff

did you figure out the pinging noise on yours yet?

not to rain on your parade, but before going forced air, I would make sure that your engine is ready for it.

BTW, there is another option...sell your Cobra.

Then buy another that is already boosted...in fact, I would get one that already has a rebuilt engine (that is one with the lower end beefed up)...like mine is good for 800 rwhp, it flows better (that's why I only see 5psi rather than 8 psi that stock motors see), but of course, you MUST ensure you found a good car...I happen to know a little something about that - the HARD way!

As an example, according to recent sales, you could fetch about $6500 for yours and then pick up a boosted SN95 for $10-12k and will have more power and reliability than a boosted stock motor. You can also look at a Terminator...I sold my 90k mile slightly modded '03 for $15k and it's more fun to drive!

see the problem is a 03 or 04 cobra here is the CHEAPEST i found here in canada is 25gs plus the beautiful taxs on it..i just got mine 2 weeks ago for 6500 taxs in.. you guys got it made down there and the dollar sucks now even if i wanted to go down there to buy one..as for the noise have not checked it yet but i think its a valve have to rip off the valve cover still .and trust me i would love to have a 03 or 04 but to pay that kind of money and still want to do some mods to it wouldnt make sense
