Get a 96-98 cobra tuner kit for $2400, add 42# injectors and MAF ($300), fuel pump ($100), fab up the intake tube (1st gen cars) or use the 01 cobra intake tube on 2nd gen cars, and TUNE it. Roughly $3000 if you can do the work yourself. Then start saving for a forged block, because YOU WILL change the pulley on the blower. DR can't beat that.

What exactly comes in a tuner kit???
I thought it was just a blower and mount.
To get air tubes, maf connections, bypass parts and modified
coolant crossover, I thought you had to buy a complete kit.
A cobra kit has lots of things you don't need like a FMU
and inline boost fuel pump.
I talked to Dennis last year about a vortech for a Mark, and
didn't get any thing in print, but I assumed his kits just
contained the necessary parts plus an SCT chip with a baseline
blower tune.
It would be great if the board could get him to post an ad for
a kit in the vender section.

RE: SUPERCHAGER
Tuner kit contains everything a full kit does MINUS
- MAF
- injectors
- Tune (chip or whatever)
- Fuel Pump
- FMU
None of these parts that are in the full kit are really that great anyway. The vortech fuel pump sucks, injectors are too small, FMU is not needed, all in all waste of money. I wouldn't run my car with a baseline blower program not setup on the dyno either.

Speaking of superchargers, does anyone know of a successfully supercharged 4.6 Towncar? I'm kind of in the planning stages, here...

RE: SUPERCHAGER
It wasn't a 1.7l version. The KB for 96-98 cobra's is only 1.5l, and it was Big Scott's friend who he helped put this on a 97 Mark VIII. However, there are several guys on corral, who adapted the 1.7l headunit to that open house manifold on their 96-98 cobra's. It's supposed to simply bolt on.
edit: Now I've got to stop posting to maintain it ... LOL

RE: SUPERCHAGER
Last Friday I bit the bullet and ordered a Vortech kit from
Reinharts. One of the big differences between a tuner kit
and a kit from a vortech dealer is the warranty.
The Vortech site has a "consumer alert" listing the common
tuner kit sellers and a warning that you get only a 6 mo
warranty from them, rather than the 3 yr from a dealer.
Instead of a chip, I opted to go with the SCT Pro Racer
tuning kit w/ 4 bank chip.
Nothing to do now but sit and wait for the goodies to arrive.
