Oh god, Whipple 4.0 for 03/04

[03TRKB]

I know this has been out for a while but,

Whipple 03-04 Cobra W245ax Supercharger Kit (Black) [WK-200120B] : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs

What would it take to run this? I assume stock motor is a no - no. What 5.3, Ported Heads, and Aggressive:read: Blower cams? Could you make 1000hp on just boost? If this turns out to be a good deal, there might be some brand new 6165's up for sale.

:uh oh:

This guy's already in the process of doing it: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/pics-videos-buffet-149/740771-4-0-my-03-cobra-has-arrived.html

 

[Ironhand]

That might be my next step...

with enough CIs the blower will make 1000 hp. easy. Lethal has done 1000+ on E85 on their 2010 GT500. My car is a former life made 960 on E85

Okay, so 5.3L, Stage 3 Heads, Cams, and E85, 1000rwhp is no problem? Holy crap that would be 9.3L's. How many CI is that?

 

[03cobra#694]

Around 570, I think.

Wow, that is just awesome! I will price this out, might be selling my Turbo's soon.

There is a HUGE difference between a 5.4L with Ford GT Heads and a 4.6L with stock heads. I do not know the guys build or what his plans on boost are but unless he has a serious engine he will be very sad.

Depends on what you want out of your car IMO. If you want a monster of a car that does nothing but roast tire from 80+ rolls then go for that 4.0 whipple. With turbos you might not have as much get up and go at lower RPMS but it will be a highway monster and easier to maintain at lower speeds.

Edited to add: Honestly the older I get the less high HP street cars seem fun to me, I mean sure its cool and all that you can make big numbers and run a little faster but the higher the HP the quicker shit breaks. 600rwhp is more then enough for a street car IMO.

im not too old yet but i completely agree.

 

[jcveron]

agreed but its still badass

 

[03TRKB]

Oh, I'm not completely set set on it, I have two 6165 turbos here in my garage, that is probably the path I will take.

Matt down at gear heads is building a 4.0 blower car with a 5.3 stroker motor gonna be a sick bitch when it's done!!!

Exactly! A 4.6L is going to have a hell of time trying to reach 1000rwhp blower only. Even with a Procharger F2M pushing over 30# I don't see it being very likely, especially in a street car. 4.0L Whipple would be even less likely than the F2M.
