Well, its been a long time coming, but that time for me to get an 03/04 Cobra is right around the corner. I am about to get a rather large re-enlistment bonus within the next few months or so and my plan is to try and find one that already has a KB s/c on. However if I have to go the route of buying a cobra that is stock or just bolt-ons I would be purchasing a KB 2.8H and probably some comp cams magnum 292. My question is this: How difficult is the install of this particular s/c, any special tools needed, any custom fabrication, and will I need any machine work or anything of that nature done? I've already contacted a local company and got an estimate for the install and dynotune and it was $850 so I'm trying to decide if its better to fork over that cash and know its done right or take it into my own hands.

I'm not a newbie to working with my hands, I'm an aircraft mechanic by trade and know my way around cars pretty well, just never attempted anything like this. I would have a friend who installed turbo on his is300, so some experience.

 

Best of luck!!! ...The KB install is not too bad ....The Cams I wouldn't even touch!

 

This, if you dont know what your doing, dont touch the cams... Even if you dont know what your doing, you can still install the supercharger ^^. Very basic and simple hand tools are all you will need, and maybe a torque wrench.

 

I've done cams before. Like I said I've done a lot of work on cars, just never any forced induction.
