There are a few reasons... remember your blower is probably a bit more efficient then the Eaton (which is horrible)... but that's what most cars will make on average depending on the weather, location, etc.

My Terminator made 460rwhp/480lb ft tor with a 2.81, intake, and exhaust.. I've seen cars make as much as 480rwhp with those mods, and as low as 440ish... It's a hard range because some cars do respond better then others.. and it's also in the tune.. some cars are leaner then others...

But the market for the Cobra also includes: 4v is more efficient, higher rpm band, responds better to mods, the motor is also built, tq is higher... and the list can go on...

As a comparison, my '03 Cobra made 457/480 with a 2.90 upper, intake, catback, midpipe and Accufab TB. That is just a tad over the average. Assuming you are on 93 octane fuel and have a decent tune, you can expect to see 455-470rwhp with your setup. The tune will be the deciding factor.

You might consider porting your blower (Stiegemeier) which will not only get you to 500+ rwhp, but will make your Eaton more efficient and allow you to run more boost. With a 2.80 upper and a Stage 2 port my numbers jumped to 504/494. Just something to consider. However, if a twin-screw is in your plan then you might want to save your money. JMO.

Doodad's Cobra made 455 RWHP and 478 RWTQ with a 2.76 pulley, K&N FIPK, Procahamber, CB and tune.

I'd say you would be around the 450 RWHP range with at least 470RWTQ.

Grabber - every Cobra is different... with a 2.81 pulley, catback and intake I made 440/480, or 460/480... I forget honestly... I just remmeber there was also 90%+ humidity.. and I know with the same mods there are cobras that have put down 470rwhp... can't go by what DOodad was making... That's why there is such a big gap between everything...

Very true. I should have stated a lot of the power Cobra's make is in the tune itself.

Default numbers????

It will all depend on how your your car responds to your mods. I have seen numbers fron 440 rwhp to 480rwhp. It also depends on the type of Dyno you are using.
