There's a 2003 making a little over 900 soemthing RWHP with a twin turbo setup and bone stock motor. Others are making 500ish RWHP with a stock ported Eaton and some other bolt ons and a good tune. They're nice cars, too heavy for my taste. Good luck with it. If you got it for 15k that's a pretty good price. Their value went down with the new ones coming out. But they're still kinda hard to find.

Actually somebody that works at Advance Auto Parts near my house has a TT setup on his cobra. He says he misses the S/C by far cause he was still putting down 700 with it but it made so much more power down low. His cobra basically became a dyno queen.

If properly setup and tuned the turbo seems to work better. Better top end, and more power. Turbos have close to no parasitic loss. Superchargers, since they use up power from the motor to run, Have quite alot of parasitic loss.

Hate to see you go. Win the lottery. Ditch the Mustang and come back with a new 350Z.

^Anything's possible, not very likely, but possible, even less likely from a dealer. I would not go turbo though, the twin turbos have proven unreliable and you're better off with a KB, just my thoughts.

$15k + $10k (for TT setup?)= you could have probably kept your Z. But if you wanted another vehicle, well thats another story.

Good luck with the new ride.

P.s i will be putting twin turbos on this car, 700whp. so if your in delware and see a turbo red stang its me!

thanks again and i hope to be back some day! the nissan was one of the best cars i have ever had

Isn't the S2000 more $$ than the Z?

Social life change = switching one two seater for another?

Here is an TT03' cobra built by HPP in DFW. Not to shabby on the stock LONG BLOCK I still can't believe you got an 03' for 15k with nothing wrong... Cool though

900whp on 24psi

Definately the funnest car I have ever had! I can flip between 9psi that makes 515rwhp up to 24psi @ 900rwhp. Should be fun at the cruise on 17"s all the way around. Raceweight is 3,850 with me in it.
