Default someone with real good knowledge please

I'm new to the mustang world, as you can see, I don't know crap about them, matter of fact, I used to really hate them, specially the 94-98 ones, which ironically is what i now have. But let me tell you that the cobra completely changed my mind about mustangs. It's really weird how now i see beauty in all of them. ne ways. I was looking for some one with real knowledge about 97 svt cobras and wondering if they could please tell me everything they knew about this car, from personal experience and real facts and also which are the best mods you can do.
I thank anyone who volunteers to help. Happy new year to all and God bless everyone.

i know they got dohc 4.6 engine and carry 305hp and 300 pounds of torque....an excellent mod for it is to supercharge it...if you ever find five thousand dollars on the floor you can put forged internals and supercharge it...boost 12-14 psi and you'll be making 400+ rwhp....well there really too much too list about them so if you want to know something in specific just let me know

I was looking for a supercharger or a turbo, which are the best ones? Also, since I'm new to this stuff, could anyone tell me what does sn95 mean? also, what are forged internals?
Thanks to Shifty Powers and cobra

GOD Bless!!!

sn95 is bodystyle of the 94-98 mustangs.. Before that were the fox body's.. TAs/Marrows have the F-body's. Corvettes go by generation, C1-C6. Just a designation for your car.. easy way to generalize a comment about a particular model.

Forged internals are just that.. forged internals. Rods, pistons, etc... Forged instead of the stock aluminum, so it allows for more heat and tension, they can take a higher compression ratio, and basicaly they can put up with jack asses like us who actualy dont WANT to know what the car will do.. we FIND OUT what the car will do.

Turbo's and superchargers (forced induction) do the same thing, but indifferent ways. Both compress air... the amount of boost is the PSI of compressed air your running.. The turbo works with your exhaust, useing it to poweritself. I think they run at like 100k rpms or so to compress and force the air into your engine. Superchargers are usualy belt fed not exhaust fed.. lots of different types and each have plus/minus'... you just need to figure out how much HP you want to push, the amount of boost your wanting to run (or your engine will take), and how much you want to spend.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on the super/turbo's... Never actualy installed one, just done plenty of research in the past (and now)
Hope that helped a little bit. I'm like you, still trying to figure out whats best for this engine and how much its gonna run me
