Oh sorry
I meant to say forged internals + 20psi + and an air/air intercooler. Wanted to add that----before your silly ass waisted time posting on how wrong I am. Learn a thing or two about new mustang technology. Theres a whole new world outhere son.

i guess you . . .
check the news only the first week of every month. Cobras have continued to roll out of the hanger. Quality issues have been resolved. Dodge never recalls? Chrysler never recalls? Honda never recalls? Yea you are so right----about the recall.

yes, they do have recalls, but you are talking about how much boost that the enigne will handle, when they are having engine problems on factory boost settings........ just a little ironic there to me.... I beleive that one of the problems was engine blocks cracking......
oh well, I'm NOT going to dip to your level of flaming, just merely trying to figure out what you're talkin about, or if you're just such a Ford Fanatic that yuo're blinded to their problems.

20 psi is a lot for any engine, let alone a driveable one. No more flaming, or else the thread is closed. Debate away, thats why this forum is here.

correct 20psi is a lot for an engine, however, with forged internal components & a heavy duty air/air intercooler----and a good tuner---well, you have an ideal match. Its been done, so its definetely not a pipe dream.
Actual (2) problems are discussed by a reader here who is accurate, all according to blue oval news: http://www.mustangworks.com/talk/1036034073,15142,.html

Vortech does the new Cobra have independent suspension in the rear like the viper and corvette?

If you put all that power into the car and want to drag race it, don't you risk the possibility of breaking the halfshafts as Viper 10 said it would do in a Viper? Especially if you wanted to put slicks on, which is what you would want if you're going to go all out with drag racing.

the only cobra that has weak half-shafts
is the 01. The 01 half shafts have been reported to break on hard launches with some cobras that have no forced induction-----but gear swaps. I actually swapped mine for the 03 half-shafts----because they have durability up to about 600hp---anything above that---then they are a good candidate to snap like a twig.

i wouldn't drag race an 03 with the IRS
I think every one knows the solid axle is still the only reasonable choice.

It would probably be easier to eliminate the independent rear in the Cobra as well, its the same size as a GT so if a person didn't want to spend the money on building up a strong rear end they could go with that one.
Viper 10 if a person wanted to eliminate the independent rear suspension in a Viper, just set it up so it would be able to use slicks, then what do you think could be used?

Devil:
This is what separates the posers from the racers... an independent 4-link rear assembly with quick change gears.     I should note that this rearend assembly was not solely designed for drag racing (as the title of this thread states). It is really designed for racing applications, and will withstand some serious HP and torque. It can be easily used for drag racing, without going to a solid rear axle. A solid rear axle with traction bars is totally impractical for street use. Brad
