Welcome...
what kinda street-bike??
Oh, and if you're looking for that kind of power, you'll want to match one of those blowers with atleast a 6" downpipe....

- bolt-ons, tune, lots of carbon fiber (642/671 rwhp/tq)
The car won't see 600hp on a stock blower without nitrous/pulley/port. Pulley's alone are good for 500ish hp. Cam's aren't worth the labor, unless the engine is already out. You need to do some researching. Everything you'll ever need to know is out there on the forums. Not only on this site, but other modular websites as well.

its a 2007 ninja zx6r and im 21 thank you!
The twin-screw blowers are aftermarket. They are positive displacement units similar to the stock supercharger but with a much more efficient internal rotor design.

At 21, you're going to pay out the nose for coverage on a Cobra... My Trans Am alone was 190/mo with Travelers... I shopped everywhere, and the next best price i could find was nearly double that much... The Cobra is going to be probably a little bit more, being that its factory HP rating is a bit higher...
Claims experience is the main driver behind insurance rates.. until you turn 25, any vehicle with a high accident rate per capita for that age-band is going to kill you... sportbikes, sports cars, anything.. if you wanna play, you gotta pay (a lot)

i got state farm and im payin 540 every 6 months for the focus. My insurance said a additional 250 so whats 790 every 6 months. They said the coupe is more expensive than the convertable. I thought it would be the other way around.
I'm 23 and I pay 40/month for full coverage on my camaro
the cummins on the other hand.... lol
anyways.... you should PROBABLY try doing the basic pulley/intake/tune/exhaust first. A good question to ask, is have you ever driven a 500+rwhp car on the street before? Most people I have ran into are more than content with just those mods. Granted I have limited mod motor knowledge, I've raced enough of them to know a little bit.
But you can just say screw that GM guy, he's a *****. and throw a 6" down pipe on it, convert it to ohv and put a 110 lsa cam in there, and put a freakin sweet blow off valve with a turkey call taped to it on.

The '03 - '04 Cobras are really quick right out of the box. If you buy a highly modded Cobra that has been improperly tuned you might be flushing your $$ down the toilet, so keep that in mind. Find a nice, relatively unmolested one and get familiar with it. The guys around here will then be able to point you in the right direction and you can develop a game plan for your mods with their help. There's no use in repeating mistakes that others have made. The Termey guys around here are a great resource, so learn from them. And don't take this personally, but you have to learn to drive a car with 390 horses before you can realistically handle something with 600+ rwhp.
Good luck in your quest - Termeys are AWESOME cars!

Excellent advice!!
that makes sense, thanks for the advice. I'm gona keep that in mind for sure. I just need something better than my focus. Not that the focus is a bad car because it is but i want a car that doesnt take a day and a half to get to 60.
I was planning on getting something that someone else did not tinker with, just due to the pure fact that i dont know how mechanically inclind they areor how they did it. If they did it the correct way or half assed it.
