is this the article your refering too?
Though the F1A kit has only been out for a short time, we we're anxious to get to the dragstrip and feel the power. Jones gave us the chance after installing a kit on ProCharger's own '04 Cobra, which only had 600 miles on the clock when we got it.

copied from mm&ff website...
Before the test the Cobra was treated to a complete Bassani exhaust, a Ram 9000 clutch, solid 8.8 with 4.10 gears, Strange axles and an Eaton diff. The Snake also had a Steeda rear suspension, Tri-Ax shifter and Energy Suspension bushings. The front anti-rollbar was removed and Mickey Thompson slicks replaced the stock rear rubber. Lastly, 55-pound injectors were installed and the combination was tuned by Jimmy LaRocca of LaRocca's Performance (Old Bridge, New Jersey). Jimmy only had a few hours to dial in the Cobra, but he was able to coax 627 hp and 527 lb-ft of torque from the 4.6.
The shorter tires combined with a harder launch helped improve the 60-foot time from a dismal 1.91 on the first run to a 1.72 and the elapsed time plummeted to a much-improved 11.20, but unfortunately the speed clocks malfunctioned and we didn't get a mph reading. Though we didn't get a speed, I can tell you that the horsepower was unreal. It pulled and pulled and pulled, seemingly forever. I was really impressed.

It just sounds different from what you wrote...plus it says it was the F1..and only getting about 625rwhp in the article really untuned. I have 625 with my p1sc2 so far at 14#s of boost. Just sounds weird to me....???????????
heres the link to the article...http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/features/0409mm_drag/index.html


Thats a different article with the silver coupe. Blowns car is a sonic coupe.

You are making 625 rwhp with only 14#s of boost? Seems alittle strange to me unless you have ported heads and cams. Not really doubting you but would love more info.

I made best 636 with 21#s of boost and that was on the p1sc2, then only made low 600s with the F1A but couldnt keep the belt on the car

Yep me too. Then I would sell it(not to some I know, or care about) and get a KB or Whipple; because you'll never,never, never,ever,ever, ever get the procharger to run right on a cobra.
