Default 96 cobra supercharger

I just bought a 96 cobra. I was wondering what would be the best supercharger i can get for it. I don't know that much but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Well.. its a twin screw charger which in the world of superchargers is mechanicially the best.


Reason being

- Roots superchargers are good, but often times hold back the maximum amount of air that could be pushed into your engine due to their design. Theyre OK, but compared to the other 2 types theres on the bottom.

- Centrifugal superchargers. These are the vortecs, prochargers, etc. They are baisically a turbo that uses engine power rather then exhaust power. Some people love em, some hate em. They are rather pricey and the biggest complaint is they dont provide enough low end torque. IMO, you might as well get a single turbo setup, you wont beat your engine and you'll save money.

- Twin screw supercharger. This baby is pretty similar to the roots charger except instad of using lobed screws it uses bigger sharper edged screws with less airspace. This drives the air into the engine leaving no extra air in the charger creating wasted energy.


if you want to do some homework youself go to the websites of the charger makers and howstuffworks.com

wikipedia is also a good source too.

Most typical tuned 96-98 Cobras that I see are procharged. They are usually sitting at 445-475rwhp at about 10 lbs of boost. Sounds pretty good for me!

KB Cobras are sweet too!
