Running 10lbs on stock internals is very risky, let alone 12... the vette is running about 6-7lbs of boost, so no its not the same...

Assuming you're at the same boost, say 12psi, and resonably similer intake/heads/cams/exhaust, then a 5.7 will almost beat a 4.6 for sure.
The Vette was fast. There's another C5 blown vs. Cobra vid floating around, a red convertible C5 racing at night, it also won. But that one had a ****load of internal work done as well.
The only thing I don't like about centrifugal blowers is the lack of whine!

The Cobra can run 12 lbs of boost easily because it comes with forged internals and a cast iron block. The vette on the other hand... I wouldnt do it.

Yea, the internals of an LS1 engine can't take that much boost. They're much better cars to use a lil N2o with than to boost. Unless you forge the internals and change the compression.

The cobra was modded saleen, can't you READ? its not a STOCK cobra vs blown vette... and not all blown vettes are as fast as modded 03s.... that was a D1SC ATI Procharger on the vette... the Cobras mods were listed, the Cobra has full tune, the vette isn't fully tuned yet.

RE: Blown Vette vs Modded 03 Cobra
At 6psi of boost, the Cobra would make like 300 hp lol Of course a Vette would smoke it, even with no boost.
I was thinking of that convertible C5 that raced a Cobra. It had around 10 psi or so, as it had a bunch of internal work.

Of course this is with LT headers and a aftercat with mufflers (flows), and only a accufab T/B on the intake, no meter or filter, and a FAST fuel system controling it all.
