Overcoming '03 SVT Cobra's
Does anyone know of a good set of heads that can help start me down the road to having a snake charmer? I have seen and heard of more names than you can shake a stick at. I am leaning towards the Patriot Heads simply because of the affordability when compared to TEA or AFR heads. They also offer a head and cam package. Recently I seen an article in Chevy High Performance where they did a(n) LS1 buildup and made approx. 450+rwhp with a set of LQ4 truck heads and a FAST manifold with a much larger throttle body. All and any input would be appreciated and considered. If you already have a recipe for dishing it out to an 03' or supercharged Mustang, let me in on it so I can punish the guy in my neighborhood . May the Camaro return supercharged!

Drivers being the same, a H/C LS1 shouldn't have any trouble, unless you got one BAD Cobra running around there.

while browsing over at the corral the other day i came upon a guess my hp thread and the guy made about 520 hp or so and people were saying that his hp numbers were almost impossible without a ported blower. so it may be possiblet o hit 500 i havent checked a lot lately but i doubt that he is really above 500hp at the wheels with just a pulley, programmer and gears. i also assume full exhaust and intake at least...and even then.

a "real" 03/04 cobra no longer has the stock blower and is running a KB...to tame that snake you will need some decent power...a heads/cam car will have a tough time with one...
to be a true "snake charmer" you will have to do a little more then heads/cam, that will only take care of the "regular" modded newer cobras making 450-480...
to be safe i say you just run a blown/turboed/built bottom end 400+ cube monster

One of my very good friends own a KB cobra and even with issues he was trapping 93+ (his boost a pump AND fuel pump were cutting in and out) witha 7.76 e.t. and another good friend has a ported apton cobra that runs 7.5's at 94...with a good H/C package you'll be fine until they throw nitrous on there. But personally I'd go with a set of TEA or AFR heads and either the F13 on a 112 (or 112+2) or the F14 and a 150 shot, it would be game over for 99% of cobras.

Are the AFR heads are as good as the website say's they are??? I have searched near and far for real world answers about the output of these heads, and all I have come up with is bloated marketing answers. In other words, are the AFR worth what they cost??? I read and article in an old car craft mag were they said that a set of AFR heads were good for over a 100 hp over the stock 5.0 heads. That seem a little to good to be true for me.
