Sonic blue cobra is definitely the best color for them.

I love sonic blue but only on a coupe, the black top messes up the color on verts imo

As long as you keep the boost pressure under 10 psi the stock bottom of the new 5.0 will hold up just fine. I am running 9 psi which generates an est. 620 rwhp. (dyno run tomorrow). Not using myself as a comparison here but other guys I have read that have over 20k with less then 10
psi. Overall though it is cheaper to buy a cobra and make it faster especially if you went with a new 5.0. I invested 7300 to supercharge my 5.0 and a cobra just needs smaller pulleys and upgraded fuel system components to reach my hp level.

Yeah I have to price them with skinners up front. I am expecting high 10s with this set up, and if that is the case they will probably tell me to roll cage it. Which wouldn't be a problem but I am leaning more toward keeping it a show car vice turning it into a quarter mile demon.

It just depends on the track man. If you just throw some drag radials on the back, keep your street rims up front and back, you have a good chance of them not saying anything because it doesn't look like a drag car (10 second car rather ). I'd save your money. I ran 10.80's in my notch back with 15"pony rims 255 Mickey Thompson et drag radials . Those things stick like glue. 255's held 1.55 short times. Good luck.
