well it depends... the motor might have been beat on or whatnot... IMO it'd be a safer bet to keep your motor becuase you know what's been done to it.

I'd stay with your motor. How many miles are on the Cobra motor? How many are on yours?

If the Cobra motor is fine and has relatively low miles... you would have a much better base to start with (Assuming we are talking the 03/04 motor here).

Cobra motor. NO DOUBT. Just think how much you'd have to pay for a S/C, built motor, and a 6speed on your own. That Stock s/c can get you over 500rwhp.

Yeah, I guess it really depends on the year of the motor you are looking at. 03/04=GET IT!

This depends COMPLETELY on what year of cobra motor. ANYTHING but an 03/04 and your wasting your cash buying it over a blower.

Honestly for that much cash.. a built motor and nitrous setup (MMR $2300 + 1000 for a nitrous setup with all goodies) would be what I would go with after seeing some of the numbers people have made over and over again. The blower on a stock 2v or a fully bulit and juiced 2v.... unless its the 03/04 motor with 6 speed transmission, etc...
