Its a cobra with a Kenne Bell upgrade--but I dont know which KB it is?
How much power do you think that is putting out, because my friend is about to buy it and I want to be able to beat him at the track, which I know will be hard. BTW He is selling his Evo MR for that, and I'm used to beating on the MR

Anyways, I'm going to be looking for a cheap route for the most power I can get out of my 03 Mach, while still maintaining daily driving needs. Obviously going to go with a supercharger, but I know the limits on the stock engine (around 450 hp). What route supercharger and other supporting mods would be best to make relatively cheap and reliable power?

Ouch! KB 04 cobra? It might be impossible to beat on your stock motor. Those cars can put down 600whp with ease. Youll need fully forged motor with a kenne bell or turbo kit.....

Yeah man, you are not going to be able to compete, only way to beat it, is to buy one of your own .

Things aren't looking good for you and your Mach. Either you need to start looking at shortblocks and superchargers or you need to get used to seeing the beautiful rear end of that terminator.

You better go for big weight reduction like 1500 pounds and then put it in his trunk when know one is looking.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, forged block, tranny upgrade, new rearend, and a turbo or S/C is the only way your still going to compete.

Car might be rode hard and put away wet... especially with a KB. Your Mach has no chance but no way I would pay 30 grand for that car...

A built rear, suspension, and a set of slicks might get it done at the track.

he doesn't mention any suspension upgrades on the list. If its a stock suspension termy and he is running street tires he will probably blow the tires off until mid 3rd if not higher... race him from a stop and hope he doesn't buy drag raidals (and you better).

Gonna be rough either way. talking 550+ to the tire here. There is a local guy making 525 on a ported eaton with other mods and he ran 11.50s on motor only.

Yeah this was kind of what I expected...
It's so aggrivating that with Termys you can get so much power so easily, and Machs you need so much more work [:@]
