yea thats like the perfect setup.
yea I totally understand. you put in a lot work and hate to just switch it up. For me to take a blower car, and turn it basically into a 99-01 cobra, I just dont want to change everything over and build a "N/A" setup just to go turbo so to day. upper lower intake plus all the other pieces you need to convert. If I had a car that started off with no blower, I would do it. Its easier.
My buddy who went 8.30's with his twin turbo auto , had a 2.8 mammoth kb with a 4r70w, solid rear, stock motor setup. I know it went mid to low 9's. But he said once he went turbo, the car turned into an animal. He said on 12lbs on the street, not many cars beat him unless they had something similar or more.
About not getting the gen 5. I said the same thing. If we keep thinking that something better is going to come out, we will never really enjoy the car. we went from having apten ported eatons, to steggy ported eatons, 2.2L kenne bells to the whipple 4.0. Everything under the sun. If we were always waiting for the latest and greatest, our cars will remain stock. Out of all the blowers, the gen 5 whipple is the most promising to make lots of power. BUT, look how long that took to come out. I spoke to someone at whipple, and a few other guys, and I don't think nothing crazy will be coming out for the cobra. Maybe they may come out with something else, but nothing that will CRUSH the gen 5. The 3.8 I was told, wont be available for the cobra. so, I am not sure what else can come out.
If the gen 5 doesn't produce the power you desire, then you have to go turbo. I think a 5.0 boss block, stroked out maybe to a 323ci motor? more compression, custom cams, heads, e85, you can make over 1,000rwhp. Or, you would have to start with a fresh platform like a coyote. Just the heads alone on the coyote, are better than the 03 cobra's. And, the whipples for the coyotes, are WAY better than the cobras. First, they offer a 3.8L blower and they are inverted. The intercooler is on top of the blower. one of the guys at whipple told me, that is another reason why the coyotes make more power and run harder. Its the coyote whipple design.

I did a basic rebuild with more compression, ported heads and custom cams. My 2.9 does an excellent job so its hard to justify a new blower for maybe 100hp.
Also, the new VMP intercooler and J2 intercoolers flow so much better than the OEM units which were a big bottleneck for high hp applications.
Allen saw massive temp drops with the VMP unit and when I switched to the VMP IC the flow rate was drastically improved. Im looking forward to seeing how it performs.

Wow when did you go turbo lol?!!! That didn't take long at all lol
It’s been done for a while just to damn hot to take it anywhere. Especially with holt closing down haven’t really tried to go to Alabama or Panama City since it’s been raining every day.

I feel that.. freaking 75 days straight of rain. Mine is still apart
.
I feel like yours is the first single turbo car I've seen with the inlet over to the driver side. With a battery relocate seems a good way to do it and not be in the way of all the coolant stuff.
The kit started out as a CG fab hot and cold side. Where the turbo was in the middle and exhaust out the driver side. We could not get the turbo to fit in the center (T6 borg s480 based). Had to remove the ac and push the radiator all the way forward etc. on the cold side the CG fab inlet and outlet were on the same side and that caused a lot of piping to be super close so we modified the Intercooler and now the inlet and outlet are on opposite sides.
