I have a 04 Cobra with a 3.4 Whip auto 9inch its going this week to put in a 10point and go on a diet. I have reached the 9's with the stock motor but im looking for more now. I want to turn about 7000RPM at the track and make as much power as I can now. The car only runs on MS109 and has a return style fuel system so fuel is not a problem. I heard in the past the big motors could not take the RPMS

What engine setup would net me the most power with the blower maxxed

I'm assuming you are trying to decide whether or not to go with a 4.6 based big bore stroker 5.3, or a 5.4-based big bore 5.8?

I can tell you that the GT500 guys with the big bore motor and a serious blower are putting down over 1000 HP to the wheels. (Check out the GT1000).

If you feel like going through the process of converting it over to a 5.4, then go right ahead...

The 5.3 will be a bolt in deal.
