Fo' shizzle. 
I might know one or two things about them. Granted, I'm no longer an admin, but that doesn't
mean I forgot everything I've learned from 'Tech...or from my own experience with my 2000 A4 Z28....
or from my friend who has built and tuned thousands of them.

That's for the education. 
Pretty ironic actually thinking that you're teaching me something.
I guess it's time for a built shorty then so you can crank up the boost and
start making some power. You could've saved about $5K by throwing a 150 shot on that stock engine of yours.
Boost is just a measure of pressure (restriction). It's a meaningless number that ricers love to throw around.
ET is the only number that matters. We don't care to see a picture of a dyno graph.

A dynomometer is a TOOL used to tune the vehicle. Dyno numbers don't mean **** because you can run twice within 10 minutes from each other and produce two completely different sets of data. The only true way to prove how quick your car is, is to take it to a racetrack. Be it 1/4 mile, AutoX, a road course, or the Texas Mile.

Cobra's have *****.. End of story.. I normally hate Mustangs but I LOVE 03-04 Cobras and have the utmost respect towards them. I don't know too many cars that you can do full bolt-on's, smaller pulley, tune and have 550-600rwhp in a DD-streetable package. The stock internals are good for 750hp themselves!
You did pretty good man considering your times and the mid to high 12's that Cobra should be running out of the box. Good race. Just start modding your car and wake her up again... And never buy Flowmaster again...

Hey man; no sour words here. Both cars are equally impressive. Ford went the blower way to make up for the lack of CI's so GM went CI's route. Different cars set up differently that still demand success and at full potential can KICK SOME ***

you should have known better. an m6 is only gonna make alittle more power than an a4. and its real advantage is just staying in the power band better. if you was lid,exhaust,headers you in your a4 you was most def faster than an m6 if the car was running well.
its kinda true mod for mod an m6 will be faster.. untill the auto gets a good stall then its pretty much over from then on the a4 will have the advantage of being in the powerband more. m6 will trap better always just because of the longer legs but E.T> traps

bottom 10's with a cam and 6psi? Grow up already junior.
You're not impressing anyone here. The fact of the matter is that we know
more about your car than you do and you're not fooling anyone.
Why are you so concerned about a "cobra with 14psi?" You sound like a ricer.
BTW...I went 11.29 when I was running 14lbs of boost through the stock Eaton blower.
Since you're so impressed by boost pressure, I'm running 23psi through the Kenne Bell now.
It doesn't mean anything to me except for power output and ET since that's pretty much
all that matters.
Are you sure you don't drive a Honda Civic?

14psi on stock internals huh? The only thing in the mirror will be a cloud of smoke and your shortblock. Get a ******* clue man. Learn something about both cars before talking. Boost is simply a measure of restriction on a given engine. Obviously a 5.7l LS1 has less restriction than 4.6 4V ford hence it takes less boost to make the same power. Supras need 30 psi to run the same numbers. Let me guess they are garbage too right.
