03 or 04, and in the wilkes barre/ scranton area

they are forged, so quite a bit im not sure on exact numbers but probably more than you would get yours too, my buddy just picked up an 04 from the Shippensburg area (southern PA)

about 2 days ago its mint.

03/04 cobras are pretty reliable to about 700rwhp...

there have been a handful that have reached the 1000 hp level, but didn't last very long...

yeah doubt you'll be hittin 700 but gl and more power to ya

mfj

Who are you doubting?

SVTeeshirt

that the thread starter has plans for 700+ hp build

Shifty Powers

do you know the guy? Why would you doubt someone you dont know? If he has the money he could build whatever kind of car his pocket allowed him. So him being new to iinformation does not mean he cant or wont build something high HP.

You seem very sour or something to me, keep your doubting comments to yourself if your not going to help answer the OP questions..


03/04 motors can handle 650-700 comfortably.. 96-98 and i believethe same goes forthe 99-01 can really only handle about 450 due to that the rods/pistons are not forged. The blocks are fine, and so are the heads/cranks. Cams are ok, all depends on what your going with, but dont really ever plan on getting a big lope out of a 4v..
