Two Words. Kenne Bell!!!!!!!! that is what's goin on my 04. motor can be run stock on 9psi must be intercooled. 162 hp increase = 65% gain. $5000.you can also buy a tuner kit, 9-26 psi, but motor must be forged to handle stress. if your gonna do it go with the best. kennebell.net

The Eaton from the 03-04 Cobra will not work, not at least without major extensive modification which just wouldn't be worth it.

Like the user above, I'd go with the Kenne Bell. It's a bolt-on for your car and twin screws are just plain fun to drive. The kit install is very reasonable and the tune Kenne Bell provides is pretty damn good to start. If you had it Dyno Tuned professionally, by the right tuner... it would be even better.

If your on a budget Procharger may be a better option, I'd look into them.

I was browing E Bay today and they now sell body kits...this is what I found...

Quote
A body kit is an assortment of car modifications comprising front and rear bumpers, fenders, side skirts, spoilers. Many manufacturers produce these car parts and accessories so that customers can customize the look of their vehicles. These body kits provide enhanced aerodynamics and also add a touch of aesthetic value to the vehicle. These kits are usually designed to be used as one set, however, many customers mix and match parts from different kits.  Body kits are generally designed for various types of automobiles and are made of either fiberglass or polyurethane. The use of polyurethane body kits is preferred by most people as they are highly durable and resistant to damage; they also remain intact even in cold weather. Kits are also manufactured from carbon fiber, which is durable and lightweight. The cost of these body kits is very high, hence, they aren't a very popular option.  The boom in the body kit industry during the nineties has forced many automobile companies to build their own custom body kits. Many companies such as General Motors and Irmscher have divisions that specialize in manufacturing body kits. The are a number of aftermarket body kit manufactures such as Irmscher, Lester, MS Design, Reiger, RGM, Steinmetz, Bomex, Onderground-design, Accolade, and Veilside.

I'd like to mod the look of my car, would you trust Ebay as a source for something like a body kit?  Any input would be very appreciated! Thanks! xx

E-bay kits NOO!

I ordered a Cobra R front bumper way back for my v6 stang when i had it. I got it and It advertised for a 94-98 body style, my stang was a 94. I got it and on the front bumper it was labled 99STANG, I tried to mount it and it didnt fit at all. I called the company and even sent them pictures and they still told me that it was the right bumper it was just mis-labeled.

I'm a girl but im not stupid. I do body work to my own car and what they did was just ridiculous, Try mrbodykit.com

They are international but the product comes ready for prep and paint. I just got my spoiler from them and I couldnt be happier. Of course there was some imperfections but I once again do body work so it wasnt hard to do.

Good luck  ;D

well you could put an eaton on but still you will have to get the piping and what not made for it and just with a blower and no extra mods or anything you will hit about maybe 360 give or take a few with a roots type but thats also good to cause the roots type make full boost right of the line and with a centrifugal= paxton, vortech, prochargers also you could prolly hit 350 depending if intercooled or not with 9psi but you make boost by rpm speed both are could though with the right mods and its all at the wheels

Tork Tech just came out with a kit to adapt the Eaton to a GT.  The kit is $1,899 and you just need a used eaton and they are cheap and easy to locate.

Here's a linky...
