1997 Cobra

[Dyne]

I'm getting a 97 Cobra soon and I want to make a few ponies with that 4.6. How far can I go with the stock engine internals?

What route are you going? Naturally aspirated? Nitrous? Forced Induction?

[Dyne]

Certainly forced induction and probably some spray.

[Ruckus46gt]

if your doing forced and spray then not going to get far. To tell you the truth your tranny wont even hold much over 400 (450 max before that tranny takes a crap).

[BurnTire]

Tranny will hold fine unless he is launching it on sticky tires. The clutch will need upgrading.

I know other things will need work but right now I just want to know about the engine internals. I probably wont be spraying a whole lot but I'm definitely going to have boost

Spray and Boost on a 97 cobra motor will not last long.

I would do a blower and keep the boost under 10PSI.

That should give you 100 additional HP.
