can I use a S/C from a Cobra on my GT
So I want to know if anyone out there has put a twin screw super charger off a Cobra on a GT motor? I want to supercharge my Mustang GT and was thinking the twin screw would nice way to get a little more hp and tq out of my mustang. I am having no problem finding take off chargers from 03-04 Cobra's and 07+ GT500's for really good prices but didn't know if there is a way to make them fit the 4.6L 2V heads.

Yes you can but it may cost you a pretty penny. Not sure about your car but I know for the New Edge GT'S you'll have to buy the Tork Tech Adapter, which (if I'm not mistaken) cost's 2100 bucks. My Vortech (intercooled) cost $2,170 bucks..just something to think about.. GL!

Unless you already own the sc from the cobra your better off getting a sc kit for a 4.6l as it is more then just making it fit you need to get more fuel and the a tune by the time your done you could have just bougt a sc kit that included every thing and is designed for your car

soldier gt did you part together that kit to get it for only $2,170 or did you buy it used? mfournier I already own a sct tuner which will need to be changed no matter what s/c I go with. I have also found a couple saleen s/c from time to time and I know that will bolt up with my PI swap. one of reasons I want to get a twin screw is I want to get rid of the plastic intake manifold at the same time.

well it would be out my buddies 03' cobra. he hasn't put the aftermarket one on yet so it is still in his car. he was going to give it to me for really cheap if it would fit but I'm not sure if they make a intake and all the other parts that would make that s/c fit on my GT heads. I am tempted to hold out and get the kenne bell s/c I wanted but its around $5k+

Go check out tork tech of I were you and there should be some info on swapping that blower on there. But like soldier said its probably not gonna be cheap. And I pieced my vortech together for 2200 so you could get a vortech for cheap
