How much Hp/Tq can a stock 03/04 cobra hold?

maxgst · September 15th, 2010, 01:26 PM

I am looking into Terminators, im very interested in them and would like to know whats the maximus HP they can hold with the stock internals, transmission, clutch...

Scott2001GT · September 15th, 2010, 01:35 PM

800 to 900 I have heard/see...the pistons are the weakest part of the forged block.

maxgst · September 15th, 2010, 01:41 PM

wow thats crazy high

zigbigadoru · September 15th, 2010, 03:02 PM

theyre forged internals.....what were you expecting?

thats not exactly crazy high for forged pieces....

I read thay there was a guy that got 1100whp on the stock shortblock. Is probably a dyno queen but those shortblocks are damn near indestructible.

maxgst · September 15th, 2010, 03:38 PM

So you could easily run 600hp all day long with no problems? Cause some cars can handle 500hp but for a month or so

Baddbullitt · September 15th, 2010, 03:41 PM

no problem there!!! and then some!!

unless you have a retarded tuner that dosnt know what spark timing is you shouldnt blow at 500 or 600whp.

Plenty of turbo termi's running in the 7-800rwhp range.

Real question is "how much can you afford to bolt up to the motor,lol!

Exactly! It's all about how deep your pockets are, not how much power the car can handle!

futureMACH1racer · September 16th, 2010, 11:23 AM

I have heard that the stock pistons and rods can hold up to around 6xx/6xx at the tire. Sure every car is different, but if you're like me and you see a lot of track time then I wouldn't push it that if you're not ready to rebuild soon.

guy in my hometown has a single turbo termi. he makes over 900 wheel with a stock engine. the valve covers have never even been off.

wow, thats all I have to say

futureMACH1racer · September 17th, 2010, 02:09 PM

I would be willing to bet that most of the examples that you have been mentioning are dyno queens.

Smoothgrandmama · September 19th, 2010, 01:43 PM

Turbo cobras have a higher threshhold for power than supercharged cobras.

That being said the clutch is only good for about 500 hp . . . At least for a little while anyways.

sickfox · September 19th, 2010, 01:49 PM

It would be worth it to upgrade the pistons/rods if you are planning on going over 650hp correct?

Smoothgrandmama · September 19th, 2010, 09:25 PM

Not to me. If you set up right I think the stock internals will handle it.

I'd be more worried about the tranny before the engine.
