Thread: 96 cobra need supercharger advice... been a while since i had a cobra little rusty...

well im def not going KB... my tranny has seen better days and before i put alot of boost down i wanted to upgrade to like a T56, but for next summer i just wanted a little somethin to play with then next winter realy go nuts. Thats why i wanted to try n get away with out a tune cuz i didnt wanna do one this year with 8lbs then take it again next year when im running more like 15! but whatever thats fine.. what if i went a head and put like...

With the Kennebell for our cars you wont see the power that you want down the line because they are non intercooled, or at least i have neever seen anyone with over 450hp with the 2.1L kit for our cars. If I was you I would get a D1SC and run like 8lbs-10lbs, this will be nothing for your built motor. This way with the D1SC you can up the boost down the road. However you will def need to get a tune. If your willing to put up 3-4k for a...

agreed get a centri. or just dont boost it for now until you can get some turbos.......but either way a tune will be in store

D1SC or Turbo..

If you are going major cheapo just get a used kit. Like find an s-trim and get an e-bay intercooler, and make your pipes, etc. Or just run it with methanol. That's the cheapest way to get like 15psi (it think). I have about 3k in my kit and a pieced most of it together. You may have to be a bit patient. You will always want a dyno tune. It's cheaper than buying a full on kit from procharger for 6k and using the chip!?! I paid $300...

yea i agree if your going to get boost do it right the first time spend the few hundred bucks to tune it right.. still cheaper than replacing your engine.

Seriously, don't buy a Kenne Bell for your car. I own one and have money to make it do better and I am still beating my head against the wall trying to obtain 500rwhp with it. KB's are great superchargers for almost any other year, so don't be fooled by the numbers 03-04 Cobra's or Mach 1's are getting. Buying a KB for 96-98 Cobra is just wasting money. I also was warned befoe buying mine. Like so many before me, I...

KB's dont make alot of power but the performance is amazing in the 1/8,1/4
