Author	Topic: Lightning/Cobra Supercharger
Mooney Gearhead Posts: 1943 From: Marietta, Ga Registered: Oct 2003	posted 09-03-2004 07:12 PM Well, alot of people it seems are takin' off their stock superchargers and puttin' on a Kenny Bell one. And since my dad just bought his 98 Cobra, he wants to jump on the bandwagon of takin' the old superchargers of their hands. Will the one from the Lightning fit the 4.6? And the newer Cobra one would be a bolt on as well right? Also, what kind of numbers would he be lookin' at if he were to get the new Cobra supercharger? Thanks! Luke IP: Logged

I'd think the only thing to watch out for is how much boost will be ran. The '03s and '04s are the only Cobras with forged internals, so they're built for boost. The earlier ones aren't. Though, in stock form, I believe the blower is only about 8 psi. That should be safe for an earlier one. ------------------ Frank S.----MCA Member 40390 '03 Mustang GT coupe '99 Mustang coupe '77 Ghia--"II Good" IP: Logged

I can never remember that word.. thats the type of pistons it has though? Which aren't too fond of boost so I'm told. And shatter like glass when they go. What about the lightning one? Will it fit by chance? IP: Logged

In order to make one of these chargers work you would need the 03 cobra manifold. And this would only bolt up to the 03 cobra heads, so it is not very feasible at all to do this with the 96-98 cobras, as they had two intake runners per cylinder as opposed to one like on the 99 and up DOHC heads. Kenne Bell does make superchargers for the 96-98 but they are extremely expensive. Yeah its nice to have the low end of a twin screw blower but I can't justify the price. Best bet would be look into a vortech or procharger centrifigul supercharger system. They are pretty cheap and easy to install. With stock bottom end, run no more than 8lbs of boost, get a conservative tune, and you WILL see over 400 rwhp. These cammers love forced induction.
