I am looking to buy or build a kenne bell cobra used for street use and loger drives than my less than drivable camaro. I have been a gm guy since 16, but can not resist the terminator calling. I want to know what are some must haves when building one of these. Ive seen 600+whp that is streetable and want that but drivability is key. I know I must have the following items, but what else should I get. ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED.:headbang:
-KB blower
-Drag Radials most likely nitttos
-A performance catback with mufflers
-Big brake kit
Not sure why you're restricting yourself to a KB blower when Whipple also makes a fantastic product and Nittos won't cut it for a 600rwhp, 6-speed Cobra unless your thing is burnout contests. All you really need to make 600 rwhp in these cars is a decently boosted
twin-screw blower (with supporting mods...injectors, MAF, BAP) a good tune, and a few bolt-ons: exhaust and cold-air or similar intake.
Of course as soon as you bolt your sticky tires on your new 600 rwhp car you'll find all the others things needing upgrading.....clutch, possibly half-shafts, etc., etc., etc.
There are at least a dozen guys here with a similar setup making ~the same power as me (+/- 25rwhp or so), but here's my simple combo:
- Whipple
- SCT 2400 MAF
- KB BAP
- Bassani Catted Exhaust
- K&N FIPK
- RWTD Tune
