I don’t feel like going back through the article right now, but I thought they saw 27psi after the turbos, but 40+ in the actual intake after the SC?
EDIT: I guess I’m not thaaat lazy:
That means the motor was seeing 44psi. I just have trouble buying a stock long-block, or even a fully built (which they pretty much are stock) long-block based on a factory casting eating 44psi.

true that…thats hella high boost!! i guess thats what they ment by compounding boost 
jeeezes
thats awesometown!
wow that thing is sweet i could only imagine the sound coming from that thing as it blows past you
Dear Little Baby Jesus
turning the key in that thing is like pulling the pin on a grenade
Honestly, let’s face it: this thing is useless.
A street car w/ nearly 1200RWHP that runs on race fuel. Super Duper. What the fuck are you going to do with that? It’s not going to hook on the street, pretty much ever. So you can roll-race liter bikes from 80-160. Wow, so cool.
If you want to build a drag car a nearly 4k lbs ’03-04 Cobra w/ IRS isn’t the right platform. That’s the only true use for that kind of power. If you want to build a road course car, well it’s so wrong in so many ways. If you want a street car to shit on 98% of ppl you need maybe 650rwhp in a Cobra (I’ve walked a 600rwhp cobra, and stock C6Zs so I figure a “bit more” is needed to get most cars). If you want to be an internet hero and post super sweet dyno/freeway vids go get your TT/SC Cobra.

jealousy is an ugly thing. 
I agree that 1000+ HP is useless for the street, but the technology used to get there is cool. Maybe instead of spending 8K to do a big turbo or a huge whipple charger, you can get a beat up stock dsm turbo and the stock eaton and make a bunch of power. That way, it’s cheaper for the same effect. :dunno:
IRS to solid axle swaps really aren’t that hard, or expensive…
There are many, many cars I’m jealous of. However, that is not one of them. And not just cuz it’s a FERD (though that would normally be enough too). I have no desire to have to run race fuel in a useless street car. So I’ll get like 10mpg at $5-10/gallon (not sure exactly what fuel they run).
The idea/tech is cool, but like I pointed out before Dizzy guys have been putting turbos and superchargers on the same engine for decades. So it’s really “nothing new.”
I know I’m biased, but I wouldn’t really want anything FI. It’s more weight out on the noise (those turbos hanging waaaaaaay out at the front of the car will seriously hurt handling), it’s a ton of complexity, and it’s a lot of heat that I don’t want to deal with for how I use a car. Again, I’m not everybody but you called me jealous… so I’m explaining how wrong you are. 
:tool:
If I wanted more HP then I could ever hook on the street I’d just build a nice stout 414cui L92 based motor that could do mid 500 RWHP NA and be dead reliable and useable on the road course. Then I’d spray the piss out of it w/ a few stages of N20 and I’m sure I could blow the tires off at will. Will I make 1200RWHP to match this Cobra? NO. Does it matter? NO.
Surely easier/cheaper than all the other work already into the car, so I’m not sure why they didn’t just go ahead and do it. But if you’re going to do all that, why even start w/ a '03-04 Cobra?
My point wasn’t that the car isn’t pretty neat, cuz it is. But it is useless as I said before.

Very well put.
cool
