?S about this Cobra I am gonna buy...

[BigNutt]

I am looking at buying a built '99 Cobra. I am wondering if someone can just tell me if this car can be a decent DD (reliability wise) and how much power they think the engine can handle. I know the stock t-45 is the weak link, but it isn't gonna be raced till I have $$$ to upgrade to atleast a TKO 500.


1999 Cobra coupe w/ 37k miles (500 on new engine)
Mods are:

- 03 Cobra intake cams
- Spec III clutch (under 600 miles one it)
- 2003 Cobra IRS Rear-end (upgraded to 4.10 gear and 31 splines instead of 28)
- Custom Sub-frame connectors
- Eibach lowering springs
- Vortech Supercharger (9 lbs. of Boost),
- 03 cat back exhaust

New engine built by Modular Madness:

- forged 2003 Cobra block
- Ross 2618 Pistons
- ModMax H-Beam Rods with ARP 2000 Bolts
- New Ford Cobra 8 Bolt Crankshaft
- Balanced and Blue Printed
- New Ford Oil Pump
- The compression ratio is 8:4:1.
- Vortech blower is a SQ V-1 charger


It safey dynoed 450.6 RWHP and 415.5 RWTQ.

If it was done right, I would think it would be ok. If I didn't have so many miles on my engine, I would get a bigger blower than that, but if I did that now, blowing oil is probably what would happen. good luck
