One guy told me that he has owned a 98 cobra and a 98 gt and that the cobra wasn't fast enough to warrant the cost of buying one. Another told me that he had a 96 cobra and it was "useless",didn't have much more hp than a GT and was unreliable.
After some research I know that the engine does make much more. Are the cobra engines from 96-98 cobras unreliable?

I saw a thread on another site where someone used the existing "b" heads. He didn't specify what he had to do to make it work. I actually think I am going to get a cobra and put a t70 turbo on it. I have experience with turbos on imports and sport compacts but not v8 cars. It will be my first. I need to find out what fuel upgrades, injectors and tuning I will need. I know that I will have to install a tubular k member if I want to retain ac/power steering.

OK I have been talked into it. Cobra it is! What year is best 96-97 or 98? The 98 would have a returnless fuel system correct?
Also I was steered toward the delta force tuner w/ special forces software. Is this sufficient for a turbo cobra?
