Default How to build your own Cobra Jet
A list of every (or almost every) part you would need to build your own Cobra Jet Mustang:

http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2011/0...a-jet-mustang/

The total is just over $66,000, so if you do all your own work it's a bargain!

It's missing some key parts, like brakes and tires, and I'm sure a bunch else.

Yeah, for about 6 grand more you could buy a new 2011 GT and a supercharger, and push out about 550 hp....Kind of a no brainer...

Do you really think it's a 475 HP engine...?
No doubt, nearly double that.

the ford racing supercharged 5.4L CJ has 475 hp but the superchargered 5.4L out of the street cobra has 540hp something doesnt add up.

A pulley change and tune later it makes enough to go into the 9s with the stick.

80# injectors. 475 hp. Yeah right.
