what kind of power is the cobra motor capable of??

it all depends on how much money u wanna spend. You can make some awesome numbers with a supercharger on a stock cobra. Throw a cam in there and u'll be making even more (naturally). If you're good with a dremel then u can even do ur own porting and polishing to further increase ur numbers.

but, since u say that money is a factor then, if focusing on engine only, you might wanna think about the porting and polishing thing I was talking about in the previous paragraph. You say u already have a cam...and the cobra intake is a fairly good piece. So you already have the C/I part of H/C/I. If I'm not mistaken the cobra heads are alright...but I would consider sinking some money in the heads. Get some nice aluminum AFRs

But like I said, read up on porting and polishing. You can do it for free if you have a dremel already and if frees up a bit of HP

If you build the engine right, the stock T5 tranny will go before the engine.

There was that one dude who made 500rwhp with just a turbo a couple years ago.
