[QUOTE="P51 Pilot, post: 68238, member: 2489"] An article on supercharging the DOHC 4.6 was written in a 2001 issue of Mustang 5.0 by a Dr. Jamie Meyer re a '99 Cobra owned by a Terry Reeves. Unfortunately, I do not have the issue month. The work was done by Paul's Automotive Engineering. Key quote: "Plans were put into place to supercharge the 4.6. However, with the returnless fuel system that the Cobra shares with all '99 Mustangs, there was a problem maintaining fuel pressure at the rails. On top of that, the glass jaw of the Cobra motor (namely the stock pencil-thin rods and hypereutectic pistons) was a real concern to the entire project." The article goes on that the end result (incl. Sean Hyland chip, 36-lb/hr injectors and Vortech S-trim 3.6-in. pulley among others) at 8-lbs boost is 500 rwhp. Also mentioned to get the power down reliably (for drag racing) was swap-out of the IRS for an 8.8-in. rear fm a '90 GT w/a Detroit Locker center section w/other suspension mods. Worth a read for ideas. [/QUOTE]
