My last three new ford purchases have never had any repairs under warranty, so lets hope the 05 Stang continues this trend.

For all out horsepower I would have to go with the Procharger set up. They have a few mustangs with their systems in the 6's, which is to my knowledge more than any other SC system out there, only the turbos are putting out that much hp. I talked to the people at Procharger and they told me the can get a 03-04 stang Cobras up to 650 RWHP on pump gas. This is what I was told at least!
You are comparing apples to Oranges. The 03-04 Cobra motors are set up for forced induction with a lower compression ratio and forged pistons from the factory, whereas the 2005 Mustang will have a higher compression ratio and hyper pistons. If you put more than 10 lbs of boost to the stock motor, you'll eventually going to blow it up. The Stock 03-04 Cobra motor can take tremendous amounts of boost if setup correctly.

Unless you plan on investing large amounts of capital into an 05, you'll be limited on how much boost you can run without blowing it up. [/b][/quote]
question? how much boost does the 03-04 cobra push out? say I bought a super charger, Setting the boost for 10 lbs ( If that is the safe number) How much hp gain could you produce with 10 lbs or under? are the 05 pistons up to par?Screw it I'll just trade for the new cobra but i would like to know anyway. Just in case I can't wait!!!!!!!! :bang: :bang: :bang:

Anything is possible for the right $$$ It is better to spend more than go for the bargin when boosting your HP - other things to consider would be your transmission/clutch, ability to stop (thats usually important), injectors, fuel pump.... list goes on and on - a good supercharger or turbo kit will give you everything you need to deliver fuel/air to the motor (including a chip). However, if you pull up articles about those that generate 500hp+ out of a Mustang, you will see that alot of money was spent getting the rest of the car to match.....

Procharger told me not to go over 8psi on the 04, but the 05 is a different engine entirely, so it remains to be seen how much boost you could run through it stock.
