dont see why not. i hope to get there myself. i made near 700 on the 21 psi with my KB. If i were to add a 100 shot, then you have the 800hp. I think it could happen. Ow and if he will sell his for 60k i will sell mine for 50k.

Stock cam? Even if the answer is YES it is definitely possible to get 800 to the rear wheels. There is someone on this forum who is going for the '800' but I can't remember who it was. However, if I was buying this car I'd want to see dyno sheets proving the claim.

It's possible, but I dont know of anybody that has hit that mark yet, except for the black turbo 03. Not even the guys in Texas have been there yet, I dont think so anyways?!?!

We have been passed 800 for awhile but the stock longblock does not like that much power. I suspect that my car is tickling 900 now - I am in in Calgary working but dyno numbers are just numbers. Wait till the first of Feb. and I will let ya what she does at the track. Also keep in mind that there are a few automatic cars making that kind of power but it is thru a C-4 so it won't show a big "number".

$60,000 :eek: I would be driving a new (used) Viper for that. You could mod your own 03 Cobra for less than that.

I do remember some 03 Cobra putting down 990hp. I'm not sure if it was rwhp or not, but 990 flywheel would be over 800rwhp. It was some twin turbo setup with cams. I'll try and find a link.

Yes definately still have the 6-speed and IRS. This car will never have an auto or straight axle!!! You will be able to see what see ran at the Shootout in next months issue of MM&FF with a built motor and not tuned - let's just say she was down about 80hp from where she should have been with the 2.2 and now we have the 2.4 on her now. So I am axiously waiting to get home and go to the track.

before you buy the car, reasarch the story of the kid who bought nitrous pete's. quite often you're paying more for the story than you are for the car. these cars are pretty cheesy in the chassis department and a lot less than 800hp can tear them like beer cans. you may be buying a car thats just about clapped out, not fresh as a daisy. at least thats the way i remember the kid's saga after he bought nitrous pete's car.

caveat emptor.

I wonder what ever happened with Nitrous Pete's old car. Did the kid turbo it? Anyone know?

That was 00svtdubs [Eric] who is going for 800 rwhp w/nitrous. He is getting his car back tonight or tomorrow, I think.

Nitrous Pete's old did have a turbo on it by the new owner - at least it did at WFC7.

Tasca Ford in RI has been above 700 RWHP since the begining of 04. They make the addidtions avalible as a KR700. They have been working on an 800 RWHP edition over the summer. I am not sure if they are there yet. Here is a link to the Pic of the KR700. It was at the Annual Tasca Mustang Day attened by John Force.
