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.

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.
