I'm looking to make my '96 b-headed Cobra 600hp.

Is that possible with B-Heads? What kind of Centrifugal blower would make that power?

I have a million questions but i'm open to any input y'all are willing to provide. My only definite plans are to also have After-market Cams as well.

Thanks.

ProCharger F1A would make for a nice street set-up.

Turbo is an option just wasn't sure how much more expensive that was.

I would be building the motor to handle the power (no clue yet on what i would be going with tho).

Car is a stock b-headed motor, longtubes, exhaust, 4.30s.

Would really just be a street car mostly with maybe a few trips to the strip here or there. Would like to take it to 600hp via cams plus centri or turbo if not much more expensive.

Anything past 450 and you're pushing it with the bottom end. You'll need it built.
If you want to keep it with just the stock longblock, then just pick up a used Vortech and have at it.

Yea I want to boost my 01 cobra but I’d be nervous with my stock bottom end even at 450 rwhp. I’m at 298 rwhp now and after this week I’ll have longtubes installed be curious to see the gains if any after the tune.
