Probably cheaper, but you'll still have the roots powerband. The KB is a great swap if you can afford it.

Sorry about that Birdieman4..i thought you were talking about the m112 on the 03 04 cobras....and the t76 single turbo is always a good idea..it will make more power and put less strain on your engine when your just crusing around

however, my car wouldnt spool the turbo very quickly the mods listed in my sig. i mean, without the supercharger, ill have almost no low end torque which means ill be 100X slower off the line -how can i solve that problems if i go with the turbo?

If you get the KB, you can probably save a little money since you already have a front heat-exchanger, pump, resovoir and lines. Also, you should be able to get some money back if you sell the Series II along with the 30 ft/lb injectors.

how do ya figure? you're "spooled" by 3000rpm, maybe less with a turbo. how long does it take you to get up to 3000? even when my GT was stock, it only took a second.

also, if you went with a KB instead of a turbo, you'd have all that power down low and spin more-so off the line than if you had a turbo. just somethin to think about.

Launch at 3500 RPMs with Slicks and the Turbo will have no problems off the line

Low end power isn't as important for drag racing. It's more useful for Autocross or even track racing where it really shines. It's also much more fun/noticeable for highway and around town driving.
