Im now an owner of a screaming yellow cobra that the previous owner had a snake bite blower upgrade done to the car. Im curious if anyone out there has had one or still does. Curious about rear wheel horse power numbers. The previous owner said it made around 480 but no longer had his dyno sheets. I want to have a retune done this summer on the car so I can see what it has for myself. The car has an upgraded fuel system on it and a full Bassani exhoust,other than that stock. I havent seen any owners of these blowers on here and was curious. The blower does sound mean as hell and the car runs great. Thanks for any input here.
Any steggy snakebite owners out there?

Originally the #s were suppose to be higher on the snakebites but it never really worked out as planned I guess. Your numbers still sound low though. Get it retuned because you should be around 500-520. There was a few guys with them on here but they seem to have disappeared. It's hard to find information on them because they didnt end up being a big hit. Too much money for no big numbers. They sounds killer though.
Congrats on the Screaming Yellow Cobra. I actually just picked mine up a few months ago.
Im still looking for some more info on this blower upgrade. I'm curious if the snakebite included a stage 6 port as part of the package or if you had to add it. I just want to know better what I have before I retune the car. Thanks for any input.
Locate the serial number off of it and call Steg they should be able to answer all your questions about the blower. Better than shooting fish in a barrell here on SVTP
FInd out if it has a TQ plate installed as well, if so, play at your own risk

I was told the torque plates were not being put on anymore back in 2011 when this was done. So I don't think thats on there. I'll give it a look for a serial number and see what I can find out. Thanks for that suggestion.
I was able to find the serial number on the blower over the weekend and called Steg today. I found out my blower has a stage 6 port with a series 2 throtle body and plenum. Also the torque plates that they were putting in was not put on mine as they had stopped putting them in by the time mine was done. With these upgrades to the blower and the snakebite done to the gears they said I should see 17 pounds of boost. I hope to hit the dyno this summer for a retune and see some good numbers. Just wanted to share what I found out.

The 'snakebite blower' does come with a Stage 6 port, as well as different gearing. It is quite loud which is a plus if you are going that route.
I entertained that blower at one point, but went with the simple Stage 6 as I couldn't verify substantial power gains with the snakebite. I simply could not justify the added expense when the regular stage 6 port performs very well. But man that snakebite is very loud!
I have a snakebite and make around 500hp my MAF was maxed out. I may be switching to an F1 soon as I don't really need all of the low end TQ the snakebite gives me! I just bought a killer chiller so ill get new numbers before I switch. I'm pretty sure my blower is 1/1 it's a snakebite reported by Posi which made my power band a lot smoother!
PS these things scream!!!

Hey y2k did the previous owner have any work done at stumps garage ? if its the car i think it is awsome car. either way awsome car good luck.
Yes he did. I bought the car from him last October. It's a great car!
Not too shabby. Any plans for a TS? Or TVS?
I would like to get a 2.9 whipple but it will be a long way down the road. This blower screams and I'm afraid I'd miss it. Plus the tq comes on so fast it's crazy. Love it!
Yeah we had my buddys car down there getting it tuned and checked that car out its pretty awsome. Im actually calling justin at vmp to order a tvs tommorow.
sounds good. you should see some nice numbers with that!
