Porting the blower allows for cooler inlet temps and a more efficient charge. which allows you to run more timing with out worry of detonation. more timing is more power.
for the o.p good run get some 4:10s and get after it again. oh and you may wanna tell your buddy that running that cobra up to 150 is a bad idea. i tend to think he might be upset if he melts a piston or two.

Ok well I said that is what I believe....I didn't keep it very long because IMO was a pile of crap. NOT COBRAS in general. Just the specific car that I had. It was in the shop more than on the road.

stock pulley is 3.65. a a 2.8/2.81/2.76 are roughly 14 lb pullies depending on other mods. a 12 lb pulley would be a 2.90 or a 2.93.

That would just be my guess not seeing the engine run.

we have raced several times...all the same
I have another local friend that has a pullied Cobra (465rwhp) and were a dead even race...he actually hangs at my bumper until about 130 then he starts creeping by me
I posted that video up about a month ago, just do a search on my name in this thread.....

this same cobra has beaten a h/c ss with a ms4 and ported ls6 heads as well.
Again I am not doubting your car it obviously runs very well, and I don't want this to turn into a 10 page argument. we both have posted the basis for our opinions and thats it.

as im sure you know the 03/04 cobra bottom ends are very stout from the factory. however they do have flaws. the main one being poor coolant circulation in the driver side head mainly on the rear 2 cylinders(fix is a cooling mod that re routes the coolant to the passenger side head for better flow). the other being an extreamly close piston to wall clearence from the factory. on high end runs the coolant tends to pocket in the rear cylinders causing excessive heat. the heat causes the piston to expand and melts the pistons and normally destroys the block. basicly the 03/04 cobras do not like to be boosted in 5th or 6th. you can let it eat all day in 1-4th tho. have your buddy do a search on blown motors on SVTP and there will be a lot more info on the subject this is just a brief explanation.
it also has a larger heat exchanger and a aftermarket radiator thats huge.

I am not doubting you at all, but your outcome is not the norm. heres what my brothers pullied cobra (465rwhp) did to me (I make 450) and a cam only FRC that trapped 117 the same day of the vid.

say what you want, but heres my other buddys 03 cobra that put down 465rwhp and also trapped 117 running my car....this was a 65 roll. I was in 2nd, he was in 3rd...we shut down at 150 and as you can hardly see in the video, my front end was at his tail lights...from 65-120 he was playing catchup with me

its good that hes got all that stuff but that doesnt change the piston to wall clearence. if he wants to run the car like that tell him to put a piston in the car and ditch the shitty eaton. untill then he is playing with fire.
