I think if you did a 03 cobra with a KB. You would stil get smoked by a z06. Traction and weight are not good to a cobra. Besides those are awesome cars. But they are kinda sluggy.

They are not that heavy they just have all the weight over the front end which isnt good. Mine with a solid axle swap and me in it weighs 3680 with me in it. I weigh 180, 3500 pounds isnt that bad. And kb cobras run hard if there setup right expecially with the new bigger kb's they wouldnt get smoked you need to learn about cobras before you make a comment like that. Plus there are a couple guys that have pushed the stock motor into the 8's now thats dam impressive. 03-04 cobra is the car the switched me over to the ford side if it wasnt for that car i wouldnt have switched over.

Or sell the car and do this...

Fox body 5.0 Mustang.. $2500
Front mount turbo kit with MP T70... $3000
42lb injectors and calibrated MAF, and lock the timing...$350
good set of slicks.... $200

And put 500hp to the wheels with an otherwise completely stock car and run yourself some 10's. When the tranny breaks(it will break), spend another $1500 on a nice C4. If you blow the engine(should be safe at 500whp if you dont get greedy with the tune), buy yourself another $300 junkyard 5.0

Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist

Fun vids. If I were you I'd look for a single or twin turbo kit, and plan for a trans rebuild. I'd probably take that 11.8 car and just put the turbo kit on that, it should out run a Z06 as long as you keep the engine and trans alive.

If I put a turbo kit like the APS TT kit on my 2000 Camaro Z/28, and took gear out of it (went to a 3.50), I'd go from 10.9 NA to easily 9.50.

You can get into FI for $7k. But there is a lot more that you will find you need along the way. I DD my car in the warmer months and have had a blast with it so far. Unfortunately I have not run across a C6 Z06 that has wanted to play yet so I can't say how I would do. I know I would at least keep up with it, not sure if I could beat it or not. But it would be fun to surprise the hell out of the guy! I did that with a lot of other cars & a bike this fall. That bike was pissed! I stayed right with him.

Like the old and boring saying that was used above... Fast, Cheap, Reliable...pick two.

Just get into it slowly. Buy this, buy that, parts here and there at a time to slowly make power or build the car to handle the power first. For someone that can't type a complete sentence or has any idea what correct spelling/grammar is, I think going to ~300rwhp to ~600rwhp in one jump might be somewhat dangerous anyways

Lol, I went from 425 rwhp to 845rwhp... it takes a little time getting used to

Sell stock shortblock, pickup a forged 346, pick up nitrous kit (run a 200 shot), run a g5x3 on stock heads, dual patriot extreme springs, hardened pushrods, etc. Get a good clutch or stall, fuel upgrade, good tune, and you should be there. Of course this is from a roll, and your stock tranny and rear wont last TOO long with this setup, but thats what it would take. You could run the shot on a stock shortblock but if you want it to be fairly reliable then id go with one of the sponsors cheap 346/347 forged shortblocks. This should be under or around $7K.

Jeez, these guys ares so doom and gloom about how much setups cost. All it takes is some shopping around for the right deal, and a little knowledge about what parts work best together. I did mine for under 5,500$. Although it did take a few months of shopping around, it did on the cheap and still got great parts. my setup is
D1sc with twin intercoolers(used for 800 miles)
Gt23 lingenfelter cam
60lb molotron injectrors with walbro pump and hot wire kit
comp springs
yank 3400 extreme stall converter
tranny cooler
160 thermostat
hardened pushrods
My car already had full exhaust and a ls6 intake and some suspension when I started so I had a good base to build of, but it can be done. some get ripped on speed parts and say it cant be done for a reasonable price just because they couldnt do it or just didnt have the patience.

You are correct, you can put together the FI kit and fuel kit for $7000 or under easy without a problem. However, you will be on borrowed time on the 10 bolt and trans if its an automatic (or clutch if its a M6). You are about to find that out yourself 1badsupersport... And thats not even mentioning the shortblock!

Good luck...

Exactly. I'm going to be easily under $7k if you're just counting my D1SC and fuel setup...but all that other money I've spent went into SUPPORTING that power. Ford 9", rebuilt T-56, Spec 3 (well, this will be getting replaced with something new again for the new power), complete suspension, tires/wheels, safety equipment, etc. Like I said earlier, that stuff gets expensive.

Sure, anyone can make 700rwhp for $7k. How long is it going to last? How quick are you going to break something and be stuck somewhere?

Wow! I guess us people that have done it the right way are lying about the cost of FI. I suggest that you read the sticky about the real cost of force induction... Hell, here is the link: https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/567592-real-price-forced-induction.html

FI is expensive but it can be done for slightly less if you're patient and willing to look for good bargains on parts that you'll need for your desired setup.

Not to be offensive, but you sound pretty new to the power game.

My car is making about 506 flywheel and I couldn't pull one. You are definitely going to need forced induction on your car. You could do STS turbo system and 4.10s, but how streetable will that be? I did see one LS1 Camaro pulling around 480rwhp with the STS setup.

It would be much easier to set your sights on a C6. I think that would easily be within the pulling range if you do intake, exhaust, cam, and 4.10s.

(Or you could get an 03 Cobra and throw a Kenne Bell on it...I think you would pull it then! )

No he wouldnt....My buddy has a C6 Z06 that just had a tune at the time and he ran another friends 630rwhp 03 KB cobra on the highway 3 times and everytime, it was a dead even race.

Also, if he ever went turbocharged...he DOESNT want 4:10's. He wants a LOWER gear ratio....it puts more load on the motor = Harder pull, quicker spool...for example...he would want 3.23's over 4.10's anyday.....4.10's would actually slow him down if hes turbocharged...supercharged is the other way around.

You definitely don't want to overgear a turbo or supercharger combination. A good rule of thumb is that you shouldn't go more than 3.73 with a supercharger, and you might want to think about a 3.42/3.55/3.50 for a turbo but turbo combos all differ alot and gear choice is much more up in the air. But most turbo combos are done a lot lower rpm than a blower setup.

Never implied any of you guys were lying, but I have done as much research into forced induction as human being can do and I KNOW it costs, and that I am on borrowed time with my stock tranny and 10 bolt. But unless you have a LOT of money at one time to throw at your car, you just have to fix stuff as it breaks. If my tranny goes, I will have it rebuilt its as simple as that. I also know enough to realized that my stock tranny and 10 bolt could last me quite some time as I dont really beat my car to death at the strip every weekend. Not a single person on here can tell me that it will last ten months or ten days; thats just someting I will find out my own. As for having it done right, I have used the best parts I could get my hands on up to this point, and whatever happens will just have to happen I guess.
