WAIT!! Are you telling me that MOST people on here, do NOT have $40k of disposable income to throw into their cobras?

 

Oh and a properly done turbo kit will cost a LOT more than the supercharged route, but it can also net you a LOT more hp, lol...

My three previous posts in this thread were really made in humor...

I was just giving you the IDEAL set up if money was NOT an option. Although the 91mm thumper would be laggy as heck!

Oh, and by the way, my engine set up alonewill put the aluminator to SHAME!

 

sucks you can build a 1k hp twin turbo ls1 for like 28k

 

Modular **** is a lot more expensive than pushrod ****... We're also dealing with a lot less cubes, but A LOT better drivability than those ls guys... Trust me, this is what my brother owns:

1999 Trans Am
402 forged ls2
AFR 225 Heads
Custom Turbo cam
88mm turbo
4l80E Tranny
9in Rear end
4000 stall
800 rwhp on pump

that thing is considered a street car, but for all practical purposes, it shouldnt be. The gas mileage is horriffic. It makes our cobras seem like honda civics(in terms of mpg). Its not easy to drive, the 4000 stall itself, challenges its street worthiness.

i know that i will have no problem driving my car across country. I would not even attempt to do that in his car...

 

I did a google search when I was checkin them out. Lots of places have them. I know Jegs and Summit carry them, but you can get them cheaper off ebay. Here's 2 links, one's for N/A and the other is for S/C. It seems the only difference is compression ratio's. If it were me, I would get the N/A one and throw 10-12psi at it with no troubles which will still get you at 500rwhp. Anything over that I would suggest the s/c 8.5:1 compresion motor as that can handle 20psi (6-700rwhp)

those 2 links are to the same thing but a diffrent price... am i missing anything?

 

no i had to pay someone 40k to take my honda off my hands

 

One's N/A 10:1 compression
The other is 8.5:1 compression s/c application

 

ok ty

 

I was wondering the same thing because I have a 96 Cobra but wasnt wanting to rebuild from the block up. I understand if I s/c it I need forged internals or Im going to blown something up sooner than later. It will be a weekend driver just like SVTee is planning. So basically if I get forged crank, rod, pistons, would it hold 10 psi for 50k miles?
