KB's aren't offered with intercoolers - that's definitely a down side.

98 cobra with a kenne bell only making 336 at the wheels, that sounds off to me plus with almost 100k i think id pass on it and grab the GT if its between the two

Cobra all the way. The power isnt right though. My 96 with just an exhaust and tune did 299.8 rwhp so there is something wrong there. And there is no intercooler kit as noted but its the best S/C for a Cobra IMHO. Get a meth injection kit and you can crank it to 12 lbs and see over 450 rwhp

That low of boost wont give much heat at all. The timing is prolly way backed down and its running rich. See iff the exhaust tips have black soot on the outside edges and if the inside lookes caked up. If its just running the KB chip then that would be my guess. That canned tune is really conservative. The car should be 370+ rwhp with that boost level.
