Stock 03 Cobra with X-pipe and Factory blower with 9lb pulley made 387rwhp & 365ftlbs torque. Switch to PTK's single turbo kit for the 03 Cobra at the same level of boost and whoaa! 498rwhp & 420ft/lbs torque. Insane!

Turbomustangs is my second home. Those results are pretty common. Remember a couple of things : The turbo takes quite a bit less horsepower to produce the same airflow. The eaton superchargers are quite inefficient compared to almost any other modern forced induction. The Cobra guys are picking up alot of power by switching to the Kenne Bell blowers(more efficient).
