About to get started

Let's see how this goes, my 96 cobra has about 150,000 miles on it most of which are highway miles. I have some money saved up and im trying to figure out which way I want to go with the car. My goal is to get 400rwhp and still be able to drive the car from Washington DC to SC. Im thinking a procharger is the best way to go since it has an intercooler. What I really want to know is what mods do I need to do before I buy the procharger that would make the car reliable for daily use.

Well boost + 150,000 miles makes me think saving for a new forged engine would be a good idea.

might wanna do a leakdown test to see how the rings are. IMO id go n/a on such a high milage motor.

 

[crash549]

n/a with that many miles.

What about a 100 shot? Nitrous is only on when you want it to be, so it probably wouldn't be so hard on the motor... Is my reasoning correct? :shrug:

 

[jufrank96]

So cams and a 75-100 shot might be my best bet with so many miles

4v n/a crate motor from sean hyland motorsports...450hp at the crank..

You guys are scaring me. I just put a kenne bell 1.5 on my 97 with around 90K on it. I only plan on running 6 pounds of boost an shooting for 350ish to the rear wheels. If the motor had 150K on it like yours I'd prob be looking into stroker kits since I'd be planning on rebuilding it in the not too distant future.

how much does that usually run?

 

[boduke0220]

idk if i'd do n20 either..because when nitrous comes in doesnt it kinda "shock" the drivetrain with all the torque?
