Are you going to make all the changes on the motor at the same time?

Heads, cam, supercharger, etc. ???
Save your money and do everything at one time. You will need a chip and dyno time to get everything correct. Why do it twice?


How much horsepower do you want?
High rpm motor or low end torque for the street?
High horsepower race motor don't drive well on the street.

With a supercharger you will need low compression. 10.2 is to high.

A cam for a supercharged motor will be different than a non-charged motor. I would think???

I think a good street Cobra needs 400 to 500 rear wheel horsepower. That would be about 500 to 600 flywheel.

Take your time and do your research before you start buying parts.

stroke it to 347 and forget the charger
