New stang

[04svtzx3]

hey guys, i currently got a zx3 focus. I'm paying it off soon and im in the market for a mustang.

I want a cobra! I was wondering if you guys could push me in the right direction. I just wana make sure its the right one. The 2003 come supercharged?

With a couple mods such as; different sized pulley, intake and what others would you guys suggest to get. I definitly want it fast so im thinking cams lifters, new pistons and crank. I want it nice. So is that a good way 2 go or what other way should i go?

Do a full exhaust with either an X or H pipe and know cats, You will have to do a tune on it. You could do either a Kenny Bell, or a Whipple Super Charger.

Welcome BTW

Welcome!

Yeah, what everybody else already said:

smaller s/c pulley, intake, full exhaust and tune are the basics.

then, a few supporting mods maybe like the cooling mod on the head, bigger intercooler/heat exchanger.

you don't have to touch the inside of these motors unless you're planning on upping the boost to like 20-30 psi.

can that even be done with the stock blower?

Welcome to the site. If you are looking to get at least 600rwhp I'm pretty sure you are going to have to upgrade the blower to a twin screw like the Kenne Bell or Whipple. Most guys are getting around 500rwhp with porting of the stock eaton blower.

You have to ask if the 03 cobra comes with a blower but you know you want 600hp. I think you need to start small Im pretty sure that a stock 03-04 cobra will feel like a rocket coming from a ZX3. Best of luck in your cobra hunt.

You will never have to upgrade the cobra crank (well at least not for anything under 1000hp), and the pistons are fine as long as you have a good tune and dont boost 5th and 6th.

Read up and if you get one post pics.

i got a streetbike, trust me i like speed! lol.

slow01gt, im not that smart on blowers, what is a twin screw blower? Is that a special kind of one or is it a pullet that is different than stock?

i want the sweet sound of a camed car, so i want to do the following;
headers
downpipe
high flow car and cat back (true duals so the Hpipe instead of y pipe.)
lower like 2inches or so
cam
change blower pulley sizes
full intake
bigger injectors
computer

What else? when you guys name those different blowers, im taking it those are not the stock blowers? you refering to aftermarket new ones?
