Anything is possible if you have the right $.The main starting point is the motor but that motor costs some money.

Basically you want a built motor with a supercharger, a 6 speed, 03+ cobra mirrors and the complete body kit +Wheels. Am i missing anything?

You are missing a blower and a completely different casting of the block and internals if I'm not mistaken. The accy. are also setup differently too.

Hmmm, no

99-01 Cobra use an aluminium block, 03+ use iron. 99-01 have cast internals, 03+ have forged internals. The heads are differents, the cams are different, not the same engine AT ALL.

Yeah, you're better off adding a Vortech to your '01 instead of piecing together an 03/04 supercharger setup (for cost reasons).

Be careful with the boost, if you get too greedy the engine will let go - as a handful of other 96-98 & 99/01 owners have found out.

I would advise spending some money on forged internals if you want to make serious power. My friend is running an S-trim @ 8psi making 430 rwhp. I think it's a conservative setup and will last a long time but I wouldn't recommend more than 10 psi on the stock longblock.

Actually, the cranks are forged in all 4.6L Cobra's....all that would really need to be added are a good set of Rods and Pistons. Which can actually be had fairly cheaply now. Add a Vortech, ATI, or a Paxton along with the new internals and make '03-'04 Cobra sing for their supper.
