Just a thought. I would like to know what, if any, gain could be made to use something like a Vortech Aftercooler in the inlet pipe area before the air gets to the blower for a more cooled charge?
Im not too up on engineering, but was curious. Or would the Snow performance products be more helpful?

The snow performance products have been proven to provide little to no benefit on the 03/04 Cobra. Stock from the factory the car has a pretty decent intercooler and heat exchanger. A larger heat exchanger will help the intercooler fluid recover to a lower temperature once the car is out of boost, but has little to no effect on the IAT2 temps. An additional cooler added to the existing stock piece may help reduce the IAT's, but where would you mount it?

As far as new technology for reducing the intake charge check into this system being designed and tested by James at RWTD called the Killer Chiller. It's the cats ass!

....honestly, a small home made dry NOS shot like 35-50hp pre-MAF sensor
does these cars absolute wonders.

Because it acts more like an intense intake air charge cooler, rather than actual
nitrous on these blown cars it really gives great results.

My car pulls 625/580 on just 19lbs of boost, and with a dry 45shot, the numbers
jump up to 670rwhp & 669rwtq. That's 45hp, and 89ft lbs of gain.

...goodluck...
