Procharged P600B, 2 core int, 30lb inj's, 3.37 rear end gears.... I don't think this thing is gonna be that much faster than ur Cobra and there's not a lot of room for growth either.

Are you trading him ur car and he's giving you money?

I beg to differ. Unless Cobraheaven's car ways 2800 lbs. and has well over 300 at the wheels.
Also, I assume the gears are a misprint. Probably should be 3.73s:coolman:

But not a HP monster with room to grow is what I'm getting at. I don't think it would be enough to make him want to swap. If it had 450-550 HP, sure. My .02.

umm no offense but what you on!?! that LX is MUCH faster than his cobra cobra.. that LX is pushin close to 400 at the tires ill bet with those heads and the procharger.. im reallly doubtin his cobra is puttin that much down lmao. as far as room to grow, the 5.0 as a ton more potential parts wise and price wise than the 4V. so i dont understand your logic here.. sorry man

If the car is in good condition I say go for it. The fox will be a lot of fun and parts are dirt cheap. It wont be the most reliable car but parts are so cheap and it's already fully modded so its definatly worth it in my opinion. Go for it!!

Yes...... With those heads and that supercharger that car is making at least 400 rwhp. With just H/C/I he would prob be making close to 300. With the boost it just comes down to how much psi. But the intercooler will help. As far as not very much room to grow.... Um the options are almost enless with the 5.0 What about upping the boost or switching to AFR185. Actually the options would seem to run out for the cobra.

+1

Think about how much you can do to a 5.0 with $1000 compared to what you can do to a DOHC4.6 with $1000. Even if money ISNT an issue for you, theres so much potential for a strong 5.0.

well i got some pics of the car and a little more info. 89,xxx original on the car with 10-15k on the new parts (heads,cam...) It is an LX Hatch back that by no means looks as good as my car, but it ran a 12.3 with only 5lbs of boost. ususally sees 6-8 but was humid that day, or so was said. Was an original 4 cylinder car, so everything has been changed, full drivetrain. I will post the pics soon.
