RE: 03-04 Cobra swap
Wait, youre wanting to swap out a 03-04 cobra motor with our motor? Why would you want to do that? The 03-04 cobras had iron blocks and were only rated for 8 psi.. theres people on this site running more boost than that in our aluminum one.. I would think it would just be better to SC our engine.. seems like youll get alot more HP out of ours than you will a cobra.
How much HP did HMS get out of theirs?

Dude, the block is forged, so is the crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons, that's going to hold boost a hell of a lot better than your aluminum block. Oh, and that 8 psi is stock boost, hardly what it can take once hooked up to proper levels of pressure.

Check the edit, it's only 8 boost stock. It's capable of oh so much more.
