I'm one for more power also but on this car I think NA is the way to go. I ran my 350Z NA and still ran faster times than guys in GT500s. My last dyno was 282 whp.
I plan on getting an 03-04 Cobra for my power car.

Actually the Coyote's 11:1 comp ratio is a great mix. 5.0magazine did a test with a 2.8 KB blower on it and the engine made 650hp and 532lb ft on the dyno with 12psi on stock internals. The gt500 put up 616/539 respectively. The 302 engine with forged internals can easily handle much more power. I'd say anywhere between 750-800 with some turbos with no problem. (coyote went 710/680 on stock and was still given the ok as a DD)
Yes, but HOW LONG will the motor hold up? It's not a matter of what kind of power you can get out of it for a test, it's a question of durability.
I'm sure some folks with look to boost HP on the Boss but I'm on side with those who say leave it as is. I can see doing a tune to improve throttle response but I wouldn't go beyond that.

On the flip side of that, if you're looking to get insane amounts of power out of an engine and don't need the engine to run perfect for the next 50 years. There is no reason you shouldn't try it and make an insane drag car. To each his own!

As I remember Ford said 'forged' on the Coyote too, but on deeper reading the rods are still a composite - just had a little extra heat treating.

A boosted coyote engine would need a lower cr to still be able to run pump gas. Sure the potential of these motors is unreal but availability of fuel would be the issue. What's the max cr you can have and still run 93 octane

The only thing that Ethanol is hurting is the MPG (slightly). Otherwise, it has a higher octane rating than gasoline, so it should help prevent detonation.

I vote forced induction. Positive displacement type. Twin screw for road racing. I seriously doubt if is gonna weigh 200 lbs either. Maybe 100 total for the setup. A few little suspension tricks and it should kill a stock boss. The GT500 is no way a road racer. Suspension and torque curve is what you need to be concerned with. Max power and traction at the rpms that you need them. Fuel requirements depend on boost levels and tuning. A good dyno tuner can work all those issues out. Subframe connectors will do wonders also.

Also. My tuner is an authorized roush dealer. If you go with their kit from an authorized dealer, you still maintain factory warranty. Just my two cents.

id go centri. and the tranny will go before the internals me thinks. That is the problem with the turbo kits, the torque is so high. i think a vortech or procharger on a boss would rock. there are plenty of passes on the 5.0 now, they are plenty robust. i'd like to see someone dig as much na power out of the car then go blown.
