looking to supercharge
not right now but im thinking about saving up enough money to supercharge the cobra when i take her out of the garage next spring, what would the best supercharger be? im not worried about mpg since its not my daily driver but i do like to save money, and is there any other supporting mods i have to do before supercharging

Is that a serious question? If there was one all great supercharger that was the BEST, every one would have it... Its a matter of opinion, not fact... EVERY supercharger has its ups and downs... Use the search function, there are a million supercharger arguments here...

i'd go with a procharger because you can get one that's self-contained and you don't have to tap the engine for oil, so it's easier to setup. And if you open to it, i'd turbocharge it instead, more expensive and more to setup but more power. But i'm a little biased because I jus like the sound of loud turbos and bov's

Cohhbra.. the thing about turbo vs supercharger is this... he is going to max out his block going with either... if he had a build in process and wanted it for highway racing then maybe... but on a stock block he is going to max out at just about 450rwhp anyway...

Procharger is self contained and the kits come intercooled. Kenne Bell's are nice blowers as well, but heat becomes a bigger factor. Also, with a positive displacement supercharger, there is instant boost and instant huge tq numbers. This is going to make lots of tire smoke and be a little tougher on your car. Also, in my experience, the centrifugal always seems to pull the positive displacement car up top. But damn is a KB car a hell of a lot of fun to drive!

It depends. I believe procharger offers an all inclusive kit. But you will need a fuel pump, injectors and a MAF. As far as suspension is concerned, there is a lot you can do here. To get started subframe connectors along with upper and lower control arms are a good idea.
