97 cobra: Eaton swap or Vortech kit?

I'm confused. Why would I have to run a terminator gas tank?

Dual pumps and proper baffles. Some people who run gt/mach tanks have problems under 1/4 tank of gas during heavy acceleration.

Because it has baffling built inside to prevent pressure drop and slosh when running dual pumps but in your case a single gt,focus,aviator pump will do just fine and that seems like a lot of work to put a eaton on to swap heads you'll almost need to pull the motor then once your done you'll have 400 whp and you'll be at the limit you should just build it , are slap a vortech on in a few hours and be done or at least at the sb limits

So no 03 tank? just a different pump? what year?

[eric 2v gt]

Haha. Tell me about it. But Imma drive the shit out of it with Fo five sixes for a couple months before swapping gears. Lol.

[eric 2v gt]

I had 400whp with 4.10s and it barely did 120 in 4th gear

Mine will do 120 in fourth right now lol. It will be terrible with a blower.

What should I expect to pay for an 03 front drive setup?

[Steve]

against you? what do you have?

A slow 98 Cobra. Bring that pile of shit.

[Cobraman]

Well. After looking up the cost of everything, I'll be well over $3000 without the front drive accessories. I guess I'll go Centri, and then forge everything down the road.

[SVT Lurch]

That's what I've been trying to tell you...there's a reason so many people go with Vortechs on those cars - it's easy. If you are dead set on a positive displacement blower you can pick up a KB 1.5L kit built for the 96-98s, just know it likely won't make the 400rw you want (325 - 350 is pretty common).

"Or."

[eric 2v gt]

[Cobraman]

There is a full vortech kit for my car on craigslist for 2500. maf, injectors, fuel pump, head unit, mounting kit, and an aftercooler. Not having money until summer sucks balls.
