new to 4.6

i'm currently looking for a 96-98 cobra for a daily driver, i know alot about fox body or 5.0 performance but not alot about the 4.6 will a supercharger gears and full exhaust get me into mid 12's?? also whats the best gear for these cars i'm thinking 3.90 or 4.10 however i do want it to be extremely streetable thanks for the help guys

with 4.10's or say 4.30's what rpm will i be at on the highway anybody have these gears?

I use my 96 cobra as my daily driver. At 80mph with 4.30s it turns around 3100rpms, it may seem like a lot but the car will get 21mpg on the highway. You put a supercharger on a 96-98 cobra at minimal it will be in the low 400rwhp range, setup correctly you will have an 11sec car.

How do the stock internals on the 98's hold up to boost? I have always wondered this.

thanks man i plan on putting in 4:30's then i'm at like 3000 rpm at 75 w/ my gt what would u suggest for a supercharger i was thinking either a S-trim or a procharger

My probe gt pulls 3k rpms at 60mph and it had 100k highway miles when I got it and the motor is still perfect at 135k, so I dont think you will have to worry about it.

is it just a daily driver? I wouldn't worry too much today's engines wiht today's lubs can last a very long time

If you are not greedy with the boost and you get a good tune the engine will last. I know of people who have over 100k miles on supercharged 96-98 cobras and the engine is still running great.

I like vortech just because they make such a quality kit. I have had zero problems with close to 3 years the s-trim has been on my 88. Procharger has always turned me off with everyone always blowing seals and leaking oil. Their kits make serious power though and I like how they come with an intercooler. With vortech you can get their aftercooler but it will cost more money. But when it comes to making more power, more money always follows.

Hey thanks man, I appreciate the responce.

CAn anyone give my dyno #'s or times with there similiar set up thanks
