One of the issues with supercharging the '00R is that there aren't any specific kits for it.

 

R - because it's so rare.

 

if the upgraded KB 04 snake has so much power, why not put it onto the R and about the lack of kits for the R, well, if you can afford an R, you can afford a custom blower setup.

me? R hands down. more cubes, more potential, looks waaay better, and on top of all that, its ultra rare!

BTW, does the R have IRS. personally i dont care, but im just wondering.

 

I found this interesting:

They are very close as you can see. The 03 Cobra was exactly the same as the 00 R Definetely a drivers race!

 

both have the IRS
funny how all the lack of options and 70lbs difference
as for the blower, put a Navigator blower on it with a custom intake tube

 

not if one motor has a stronger bottom end or is designed better than the other.

Yeah, that's the exact same thing you said the first time. Where are you getting those numbers. Those numbers don't make sense.

kenne bell cobra dynos, look em up, and i am a good predicter, i take the gains from say a GT with a kenne bell, like if it added 200rwhp, i figure it for the motor i am guesstimating it on and go from their

That's what I was thinking.
'04 Cobra - s/c 4.6L - 390 hp
'00 Cobra R - n/a 5.4L - 385 hp
Take the blower off the Cobra and its making quite a bit less than the Cobra R, so I am not understanding why if you put a supercharger on both, how the Cobra would pass the Cobra R.

the cobra has more potenetial and has a stronger bottom end. The cobra also had free flowing heads and blower cams. and the eaton on the 03-04 is restrictive and the kenne bell while both at 13psi makes something like 35rwhp because its more efficient

 

Ummm, no, you posted the numbers, you provide the source. So using your 200 hp theory, I see where you get the 585 for the Cobra R, 385 + 200. But for the Cobra, you put down 686, the numbers don't add up, starting at 390, you have to subtract some since you are taking the stock supercharger off, then add 200. So being generous that would be 550. Where do you get 686?

 

a 2.4 kenne bell is larger and more efficent then stock, the 686 is what i have seen with the 2.4

 

Did a quick search on the Kenne Bell in the '03 Cobra and found a article on 5.0 Mustangs and from the dyno numbers the Kenne Bell only added about 100 rwhp over stock.

Edit: Here is the dyno numbers from the article.

 

more like 130rwhp and what size kb and how much boost did they use?
but i am porbably not being fair because i figured the cobra a bigger blower and a few extra psi.

 

stupid fricken double post, why do these keep happening??????

 

I'll take the 04 cobra just because it has air.My parents old car did't have air and it was crazy hot in the summer.

 

the R SHOULD of had air from the factory

 

No it shouldn't have air conditioning, it's a race car. How many race cars do you know of that have air conditioning? What do you think the R stands for? Really, I doubt anyone is using a Cobra R as a daily driver, if you were lucky enough(and wealthy enough) to get one of these rare vehicles, it is probably sitting in the garage between trips to the track.

 

Thats the exact reason I voted for the 2004 cobra because you cant have fun in it unless you are at the track.With the 2004 cobra you can drive it on a regular basis and still take it to the track when you want.

 

A/C who needs A/C, you've got power windows, get over it

 

But I can't,windows don't help when its 90 degrees outside.Im just that kind of guy that has to have air on him when he is driving.My mom doesnt like to ride with me when I'm in my truck because I get it so cold.

 

, my 'fro provides enough shade for me

 

the R didnt have any options, and that includes power windows.

 

The 2000 R did have power windows.The 95 didn't.
