94-95 cobra or 96-98

If 450rwhp range is your goal it will take heads, cam, and forced induction with the 5.0, 4.6 you could get close to it with a stock engine. Me personally I would rather have the 4.6 cobra. Put a blower and full exhaust on it the thing and call it a day. Great driveability with over 430rwhp.

347 stroker will get you 450.

Come on guys any suggestions or just your personal opinions of which is better. I kinda figured this would be a one sided event. I thought you all would suggest the 4.6L. I was favoring the 5.0 just because of the aftermarket size.

I have the money to buy either and cann't make up my mind.

I would go with the 4.6L Cobra. I have had a 91 GT, 92 GT, 94 GT and -3- 95 GT's all with 5.0L's. I had a 00 GT too and that was faster than all of them, and I now have 2 4.6L Cobras, one of which is S/C. The 4.6L is so much more responsive than the 5.0L. I would buy the 4.6L and supercharge it. If you can afford it do it, dont waste your time with bolt-on garbage that is going to add minimal HP. Stock for Stock the s/c 4.6L vs. a s/c 5.0L....the 4.6L will win everytime. The difference between my 96 and 97 Cobra is night and day, and my 97 Cobra isn't far behind supercharged 5.0L at the track.

Ones blown the other isnt.

Why would your 97 cobra be that much faster than your 96?

Other way around. The 96 is faster than the 97 because the 96 is blown.
