You have an 03 Cobra, already supercharged? why do you want another supercharger.................i hope you are not lying about your car....joke

Anyway, i heard the vortech is great, maybe you should take a look at the kb instead, it's worth like 2k, but you could easily pupm 460+horses out there, tests show reliable setups up to 600hp

Perhaps you should use a turbocharger instead.

Turbochargers give more boost than superchargers.

Also I know that vortech offers aftercoolers, but do they offer intercoolers? ProCharger does. Intercooling is better right?

Turbo charger has no lag if installed properly. Again, why would you want to install a new supercharger in a car that is already supercharged. Makes no sense.

Latest turbochargers are good and as 99 si trbo said, they don't have lag if installed properly.

First off I really doubt you have a 03 Cobra.
Second if your going to upgrade get the Kenny Bell like somebody said below, they make alot more power than the stock Eaton supercharger. Hell get a puley, exhaust, intake and computer programing and you'd have over 450hp for 2 grand at most.

You would have closer to 500 hp since the Stock Cobra is somewhere around 420 hp.
