Just in the motor?

Cobra has well... Cobra intake.
5.0 has E7te heads.
Cobra has GT40 irons.
5.0 has stamped steel 1.6 rockers.
Cobra has alum. 1.72 roller rockers.
5.0 has a cam.
Cobra does too, but different... less aggressive I've heard.
5.0 has 55mm MAM.
Cobra has 70mm MAM.
5.0 has 60mm TB.
Cobra has 65mm TB.
5.0 has 19lb injectors.

5.0 EEC is programmed to run stock electronics with 19 lb injectors.

Maybe more.
Cobra computer is said to be a tad less aggressive
What exactly is the difference between a 5.0 and a "Cobra" 5.0?
It is, it's a total piece of crap.
It always kills me to see someone converting their regular mustang to a cobra computer and maf setup.
There is a reason why stock lx's or gts can keep up with and even outrun a stock 93 cobra with just gears and pulley's.
That computer and mass air meter.
With the much better parts on the cobra it shouldn't even be close.
So it seems from the old '93 cobra v.s. '93 camaro was magazine shootout was flawed from the start. We almost took down that new 4th generation with a bad set up to start with hahaha!!
Simply converting the computer to an a9l with a 75mm pro m calibrated for 24's picks up a ton of power.The camshaft is rumored to be the same cam that came in the 93-95 Thunderbird 5.0. Not 100% however.
The cobra motor is a good motor choked by emmissions requirements. Install a good cam, and a good tune, and you can get some good potential out of that engine.
240HP was a joke when ford racing sold the same crate motor rated at 275HP.
