    So, Turbo advice

    $7000 wouldn't be much more than the Hellion. On the other hand, going Hellion would probably be a safe bet, and he could always swap out some of the odd parts to help with spooling and other things later I guess. What's with having to change the suspension for a turbo Cobra? Also, thanks...

    So, Turbo advice

    In all honesty, I was trying to get him to just get a turbo and then get the manifolds and everything custom fabbed. However, I'm not familiar with the pricing for Cobras. I know for rx7s you can get some manifolds from Gleason, one of the best at what he does, for just over a grand. And that's...

    Full is around ~5k. They flow much more than their horsepower would suggest. Which sounds pretty awful, other than the fact that that's only like ~25 in first. These cars would be undrivable without their silly 4.1 rear end. 4k still seems awful though. Was yours the hellion single?

    How much boost was full boost for the turbo? Was it a twinscroll/true twinscroll setup? That seems much slower that I was expecting honestly. Like, that's about how fast an rx7 spools. That blower sounds pretty awesome too. Do you have a dyno of it?

    So from anyone who has a turbo, what's the spool like? Do you happen to know when you're hitting full boost? I've never driven a turbo V8. The stock blower seems to make full boost pretty fast, but it's a small blower. Does anyone here have a larger blower they can chime in with? Edit: Just...

    Ha, sorry if it seems that way. His mind isn't made up. We're just trying to compare the two in a vacuum. Without cost as a factor. Definitely thankful for your opinion. It'd be awesome if any turbo cobras could chime in with things they like, or dislike about theirs. And same for the...

    Dropping boost between gears really isn't an issue. If it's something you're truly worried about because it's a dedicated drag car, you just get an ECU with launch control. Now you have 2step launches launching you with 30PSI (Or whatever your max is) and you can maintain full throttle and boost...

    What exactly do you mean when you say the supercharger will perform better with a stick? I didn't realize the transmission would affect the FI. And money isn't an issue, so I wouldn't count that as an advantage for the supercharger. This isn't going to be a track car, it'll be mostly daily...
