Lets see.. you should win.
Have you done anything to your manifold/TB? A bolt-on TB would probably be a
worthwhile investment here. Do you run a different camshaft? Adding 24#
injectors may help in your situation, they did on my Blown '97. You'll also
want to run a smaller blower pulley for more boost. This should be ok as long
as you have a boost retard and the fuel system is up to the enrichment.
As for pulley size, I would shoot for 8lbs, that'll be a nice 50hp (in
theory) difference that'd suffice for rasing the new Cobra. FWIW - On my
Vortech stock it came with a 3.125" pulley, to get this boost level a pulley
~2.95" in diameter is what I would have needed.
If you dont have a custom computer, you might want to hold off on the
prolonged use of that pulley.
