Q about the whipple 03 cobra upgrade
I was wondering what is included in the 2003-2004 4.6L COBRA SUPERCHARGER UPGRADE KIT from whipple? With only this upgrade and nothing else, how much hp can I make? If I get this kit, is it mandatory for me to purchase additional parts (like pulleys, belts, supercharger inlet). Thank in advance for any help.

the upgrade kit should come with a different pulley, since you will be running higher boost, the only thing you might want to upgrade is the fuel system. i think if your car is stock with the whipple at about 15 psi you can get 'close' to 500 rwhp depending on the tune.

a couple of bolt-ons with the blower upgrade will get you 600 + rwhp. . you can get low 500 rwhp numbers with the stock blower and bolt-ons. if your car is stock i strongly recommend u get a k&n fipk kit. it's the first and only thing done to my dads (sort of mine) 03 cobra. it ran 367,371,and 368 rwhp bonestock. it has run 388 rwhp with the kit. u can get one off ebay for 165 bucks with shipping like i did. it makes your blower sound a little louder and it gives u about 1 more psi.

yea those are some really good numbers. and they arent that all uncommon. catbacks for the cobra like the borla stinger, and slp loudmouth usually add between 18-25 rwhp. and a good cold air kit adds around 23-25 rwhp. so yea with those 2 u can expect 420 ish rwhp.

The Whipple kit also comes with a new MAF, I believe. Depending on the hp you are shooting for, you may need to upgrade the fuel pump and fuel injectors. Your also going to have to get your car tuned so that's a cost, although I think the Whipple kit may come with a chip, I can't remember, but in any case it won't be customized for your application. Dyno tunes can get costly. But I am interested in the numbers you produce after making the change and the cost associated with it so I can start saving...
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

this wasn't a CAI kit, this was JUST a K&N filter. that's what was so surprising about it.
