Default How To Get My 2003/2004 Cobra In 500 rwhp? I'm at 465rwhp/490tq now...

I have a 2003 Cobra. It has 2.8 pulley, K&N CAI, Magnaflow catted high flow x-pipe, Magnaflow Cat-Back.

Dyno Tune - 465rwhp / 490tq.

How I can I break well into the 500rwhp range? (on the cheap$, and on the high$)

Don't shoot the messenger, but you'd better plan on a short block with forged internals... what good's having all that power only to blow a rod! You're presently bordering on all the power your lower end can handle... tick, tick, tick, BOOM!

OP - Looks at the numbers in my sig and then look at the mods in my garage! I'm thinking with a TB/Plenum I will be right there.

lol, these cars can handle much more than just 500 to the wheel.

a ported blower and maybe a 4lbs lower

Are you high? These engines come stock with FORGED INTERNALS.

Yup, that's usually what it takes.

Not all Cobra's are FREAKS like yours' is, lol. I highly doubt a pullied/bolt-on Cobra will hit 500+ rwhp, reliably, with out a ported blower.

How much does a blower port cost? Where to get it done?

http://www.posiperformance.com/ Brian is the best. you send him your blower and he will port it and mail it back. I've seen his ported blowers make almost 550rwhp. $500 for a race port
