I too have a 03 cobra. was going to install long tubes on the car to reach the magical 650rwhp, but im selling it and buying a c6 z06.

In the works for my cobra, if I kept it, was going to be.......

323ci 5L big bore stroker motor
john mihovetz custom cams
fox lake ported heads
2.8H mammoth kit
all supporting fuel mods
long tubes yada yada

That combo, screams 850+rwhp

figure hpp made 827rwhp with a 281 and cams with the mammoth so, 323 with custom cams and mammoth high boost. HUGE POWER
