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:

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.

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

80# injectors. 475 hp. Yeah right.
