Used to have an 01 cobra before and miss it and have been thinking about swapping the engine into my 02. Should I swap a 99-01 cobra motor, vortech s trim or procharger kit into my car? Which is best for an engine with 100k miles and has never been modded except for CAI. All three cost about the same used minus labor costs <br /><br />Budget is 3K give or take.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2014-04-13, 07:55 PM: Message edited by: RSA-Mustang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>vortek01gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 10149</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,3,13,22,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Nothing like a lil bit of boost imo.
