Advice needed from the Tech Gurus...................
I'm possibly looking at giving the Cobra some ummphh, but only on the proviso that I don't throw heaps of $$$$$ in the snake pit!
Dollar for dollar, which is the best option to go for and what would give the better power increase based upon a 5L EFI NC Fairlane motor:
1. Supercharge (I am assuming that such work may cost approx $5k); or
2. Engine work
What HP increase would you expect.
If 2 is the better value option, what work would you recommend i.e. cam / valve work.
I am not looking for a fire burning hot rod, but something a little better than present.
Thank guys

Hi Peter,
If you want to retain EFI you need to consider how the mods will affect your Ford 'puter. Some tuners who claim to reflash the Ford ECU are really just flashing generic tunes from CAPA instead of actually tuning the ECU properly. So before you start any mods consider how they will affect the ECU. Generally speaking the Ford ECU doesn't like head and cam changes and most people I know have changed over to an aftermarket ECU after performing the mods because of the Ford ECU struggling to cope. Can't say anything meaningful about supercharging but I would assume you'll have similar problems with the Ford ECU unless you buy a kit that includes a flash tune.
Cheers
