I think the 99 Cobra's motors are still limited in power...... Around the same as our stock 2v's if I'm not mistaken. The crank may be a cobra crank but I think you still don't have fordged internals.... I guess its just something to think about.

A meth kit reduces intake air temperature, reducing detonationso you can raise boost to 10 or may be 12 lbs.

don't forget it also acts as an octane booster

i have a 99 cobra, with a vortech V-1 supercharger on it. It was dyno'd at 450whp and 470wtq. I am about to mod it a little further but do not have the money to get everything that i want for it. Right now i am torn between getting FPR 4.10 gears for the car (currentally it is running stock gears) or a snow kit for the car. let me know what u guys think i should do. thanks

Get the Meth injection so I can be jealous. Don't forget though, you'll need to re-tune with the snow kit to get the most out of it.

Umm if you already have 450 rwhp and plan on adding 2 more pounds of boost, you can probably kiss your motor goodbye.

better yet, take it to a shop that knows what they're doing with meth. the folks at snow performance will even tell you that, you can get 20+RWHP, or you can get 0RWHP. a guy i talk to online with a vortech'd cobra took it to a shop and they got 0 peak HP out of it. they just got the power to come on a little quicker in the RPMs. i picked up 50RWHP from mine.
