I just picked up a 96 cobra with 60k($8000) .. It seems to have good power but It looks like it had been supercharched (inner and outer pulley on the crank) I'm new to the cobra, but it doesn't look stock to me . also a bbk throttle body is on it . Should I be concerned, it's not to late to pull out of the deal. Sorry if this a dumb question, I don't have any point of reference on cobras.
anyones help is much appreciated... thanks

BBK underdrive pullys, and perhaps others use a piggyback design on this car. We just finished pulling one off my friends car for the KenneBell install. This could be what you are looking at, does the belt run on the smaller inside pully. They due this to retain the factory balancer, and to reduce costs.

If I were you I would look for one that has never been modified.
