Supercharger?

Post by Saddle »

I'm at a crossroads with my Cobra... I'm either selling her or throwing a blower on her and getting more enjoyment from the car. I've gotten accustomed to better performance out of my vehicles and the Cobra just doesn't cut it in the fun department...

Hs anyone here put a blower on their Cobra? I like Vortech and would most likely go with one of their models. What else will I need to do it correctly/safely? I currently have a stock long block.

Fuel pump - ?
Tune - ?
MAF - 80mm
Injectors - 42#
Cam - b303
Headers - 1 5/8

Adding a supercharger to your Cobra will completely blow you away! (Pun intended.) :D
It totally transforms the performance of the car and it will outperform and surprise quite a few drivers of today's muscle cars and sports sedans. If you've never driven a supercharged Fox body, I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!

V3 is a nice setup for sure. I have a safe tune as I didn't want to crack my block (little less than 500hp) and it drives/runs perfect. This setup WILL push your stock T5 :biggrin:

I went with an F-cam - B or E would work fine as well.

I run a Paxton 8 lb SN-92 on my '93 Cobra.I installed it way back in 1997. Runs quiet and only whistles after about 2,500 rpm. Adds a good kick in the pants along with my 3.55 gears and Walker catless exhaust and nobody even knows it's there. I can have it back stock in a weekend if I want too.
