Looking for advice, I just picked up a low mile almost stock anniversary edition 03 Car currently has -

Whipple 2.9
Kenne bell 2.4
VMP gen 3
???
Thanks for any advice

Whipple 2.9 or VMP 2.65. Return fuel system, E85, and a good tune and you should be there.

Curious why it's got a BAP on it. Upper only car on what I assume to be stock injectors... Maybe the previous owner had some plans that never came to fruition. Only works in your favor if you stick with the stock fuel system, though. That said and as stated above, E85 would make that hp goal much easier. If you wait long enough, I know where you could find a little 2.2 that might be able to scream its way to 700 on "corn brew."

Ha ha . Not sure why either. The car has been owned for 8 years by the same owner and he bought the car like this. Not sure why it had a BAP. I figured I can try the bap and a blower and see what limits the fuel system has with my tuner. If I run out of fuel I can always address the fuel.

E85 and any TS blower will get you to 700 RWHP with supporting fuel mods.

I ran a 2.2 with 60lb injectors and a bap for years making 600hp with no issues

I’m at 701rwhp with the following set up.

Whipple Gen 4 blower crusher @ 17lbs
American Racing headers with high flow cats.
Borla Attak exhaust
Completely upgraded fuel system
E85
And of course a good tune.
All on a stock engine at 28k miles on it.

Because every car is different. I've said this for the past 10+ years. My upper only car needed a bap. My fpdc was maxed out. Car was making 455/479.

Makes me wonder how many people over the years were told they don't need a bap for a upper only bolt on cobra. And never checked fpdc and ended up with a hurt motor.

That kind of thinking leads to hurt engines. I played the catch-up game with the fuel system in my old Cobra. I have the piston with detonation marks to show for it. If you want 700 build for 700 from the beginning.

So here is what I’m going to be installing.

KB 2.2 I found a great kit for a great price and wanted to start small at first. Always loved the sheer scream they made
80# injectors
Kb bap
Sct 2600 maf
Jlt intake
Accufab sbtb
2.8 reichard racing pulley on kb
Stock lower
Metco pulleys and idler
Fuel 91 highest I can get in vegas and torco to get it to where my tuner can be aggressive but safe. e85 is sparse here as well
Stock manifold
Catted bassani X
Borla stingers

I really don’t care about crazy high hp numbers as much but am more interested in the raw feel of the car and easy driveability. I’ve had high hp cars before but this is a different build for me. My plan is to address things over time little by little. Thanks for all the input above

This my stock system was running out of fuel at 440 with an upper only. 17 year old pumps might not work the same as when they're new.

Damn, healthy numbers what pulley combo? I'm only running a 2.8 upper but not making those numbers on my 2.3 with cams and 10.5:1 compression.

Nice I think I can hit that if I ditch the 2.8 and go 3.0/4#
