Default 03-04 Cobra Stock Eaton boost

Hi guys
I have some small questions :
1- What is the stock boost ( PSI ) of the Eaton S/C that come in 03-04 Cobras?
2- What is the max boost I can go for it with out any problems and belt sliping?
3- How about 2.8" pulley how many psi does it give after install it ?

THANKS ALL

Your going to get belt slip no matter what when you put a new pulley on. That will prob give you around 13-14psi. Stock boost is 8psi.

Sounds about right on what he said... if you can pick up some idlers, that will help with the belt slipping. With a 2.8 upper only, your looking at about 15 lbs of boost with minimal slipping on it. Thats about as far as you wanna go unless you want to start adding some cooling mods. That will pretty much max out your stock Eaton unless you get it ported.

correct me if im wrong, but you're only gonna see 15 psi with an upper and lower combo and even then ur gonna be maxin out your eaton hp wise unless its ported.

As far as belt slippage i saw a mm&ff article where they simply just adjusted the alternator over a tad to get the belt tensioner back in the correct position.

Ultimately though to be safe you are gonna have to get the car tuned else you're gonna risk running lean with the stock MAF and injectors

I got the 2.76 pulley and tuned, and I must be lucky because I haven't had problems with belt slippage. The belt was gatorback I beleive.

Actually, I got my info from CobraBob from his frequently asked questions... heres the link to it showing what boost you'll make with upper and lower pulley combinations. Look at section 3.6.1.

I have a 3.1/6lb combo with a Stage 3 ported blower, I see about ~17lbs. This seems to be a good spot for this car.
