im considering ditching my 95 and going to a 96-98 cobra. Living here in california, and CHP pretty much doing vehicle inspections for smog legal stuff when they pull you over, I think its easier to make a mod motor look legal and tune easier. So basically on the 95, the big problems im running into is a smog legal blower with inner cooler that will push enough air and a fuel and tuning setup that will visually pass smog. Inner cooler is a must since summer heat here is over 100*. SO, On a 96-98 cobra, it is better to use the stock intake with the imrc deletes or upgrade to bullet intake. Are the heads the same as on a 03/04? My plan would be a fully built stoker (5.0) 4v with ported heads and cams. Novi 2000 pushing 16-20lbs. also, What fuel setup can i use, a 03/04?? Sorry if im not making total sinse, im on oxycodone right now due to a ACL reconstruction surgery yesterday,... can you say pain. Thanks for your help and any setup info with power numbers.

the only reason to use a 96-98 cobra is if you are blowing it. IMO. so its a good idea.
there is only the stock intake in the entire world. you can get it modded for short runners, but there is no other choice.
99+ 4v's have different heads that 96-98 so there's no comparison. 03-04 is the best overall 4v head out there without swapping to GT/GT500/FR500 stuff.
BUT the stock 96-98 out flows all of the 99+ heads on the intake side a little. and blown they are killer.
stroker motor do have longevity issues i have heard,but no seen for myself. that 4v in ported for and with enough boost will make all you need. 5.0 is not necessary. you need forged pistons/rods. a cobra crank(8 bolt) is already forged.

the fuel system on a 96-98 is already return style. so a bigger pump and lines is all you need to go sky high.
i run a TFS 255lph and its all i will even need ever if i turbo it.
