supercharged sn95 cobras opinions

[03svt01gt]

Hey everyone. I asked these questions in the sn95 section but only got a couple answers. So I will be getting another mustang in a few months and I want a 96-98 cobra. It will be my daily driver. Sometimes 125 miles a day and sometimes 15miles. My question is how would a procharged or vortech cobra on low boost and just under 400 hp be for a dd? Reliability and mpg? I rarely get on the gas much. I averaged 22 23 mpg with s 502 hp 03 cobra. Any 1st hand experience or just opinions. Any and all info will be helpful. Thanks!

My mileage between N/A and blown didn't change as long as I kept my foot out of it. I was getting 21-22mpg's with the A/C blowing at 80mph. I know it's an 01, but I figured any info would help.

Get a centri blower, keep it out of the boost, and the mpg's should stay close to what it is now.

Thanks guys. So mpg seems like it wont be a issue. If it's over 20 im happy. How about reliability with a centri blower on low boost only. Any issues you can see happening? Or as long as the tune is good I should be okay to rack up the miles?

I daily drove mine from the end of 2006 to 2011. If the blower hadn't died it would still be on there. Although I'm DDing an SUV now because my kids are getting big.

Get a good tune to go with it and you'll be fine.

Once I replaced my front O2's with new ones my around town mileage went up to 14-15mpg. Surprised me big time. I spent a lot of time tuning the part throttle though. I took my time on the spark tables and making sure the MAF transfer is dialed in. I actually need to check it because I tuned around the bad O2's a bit and it needs adjusting at a couple points. It'll probably really kill you to know I was making about 570rwhp at the time.:rolling:

What maf set-up do you plan on running, blow thru or draw thru?

 

[03svt01gt]

Id prefer blow thru just for the bov. However that is a very low priority. Which ever is best for a mild safe set up will be the main concern. However I only know the basic differences between the two so honestly I don't even know if it would matter which one I do??? :shrug: educate me! Im trying to learn what I can about centrifugal set ups.

 

[01yellercobra]

I switched from draw through to blow through. Big difference in driveability. I'll always do blow through from now on.

Im close to getting a procharger so im going through all the little things that I will need. Right now the car has an old school Pro-Flow 77mm MAF on it. Will this be sufficient? Or will I max it out? If so what maf should I get? I plan on trying to get close to the 450 mark. I want the 10lb pulley is that correct? anyone know what size that is just so I can identify later on?

Thanks
