ok guys, basically I've found an immaculate 2004 zinc yellow cobra with 8000 miles on it. BONE STOCK. Guys asking 31k.

I've already got a 550rwhp Kenne Bell GT to kick around. So I was wondering, how much power would I be looking at if I jumped on the car and sent the eaton out right away and got the full stage 5 treatment? I know its not the most efficient blower in the world, but I was wondering what its limits are. I've heard pushing anymore than 18lbs on an eaton is suicide.



and before i get a comment...ive used the search feature....

I'd stick with the GT... You are going to be looking at about the same hp level, or maybe a little less on the ported eaton cobra...

yea i think 14psi on the eaton is all you want to put on that blower. if i had it i would forget about doing the stage 5 treatment and get a more efficient blower either 2.8H kenne bell or 3.4 Whipple. either those 2 at 18psi and a street tune your looking at 600+ which is amazing. if not and you decide to do the stage 5 treatment you will be around 500 give or take.

meh, ill probably end up getting the cobra for a cruiser (convertible) and just get the bigger Kenne Bell kit for my GT as 600 rwhp is just around the corner anyway lol.

ive always wanted a cobra, but it looks like if i want to make power numbers that would smack my GT around, I'd have to look into spending way more than i want to right now.

your running the 2.1 on your gt right? what psi are you running and where did you get your internals from?

The Gen II 3.4L whipple cannot go down to 18 psi...

31k is too much for that cobra, 27k is more ideal to me.

31k does seem a little high...but it is a Cobra...If you can get the car down 3-4k I'd buy it!

That price is too high for how the economy is right now. Try getting him down to 27-28k . Also I would not run anymore than 16-17 lbs on the Heaton.
