Soooo, when is the Dyno video coming out?

[@stevehall6539]

Nice to see some love being thrown at the older cars , I don't own a Cobra , but I do own a 02 2v , first car I ever bought brand new , and I'll never part with it . We all know just how capable these new mustangs are , I also own a 17 premium . Good job on showing the Cobra guys some love !

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Thanks, Steve!

[@Brett321]

Thats my BIGGEST wish... VMP for 2v

[@I5ZQ8]

Puckered up a bit when i saw the water come out of the hose and go into the intake ports when you were re instaling the blower lol

[@DrtyBrd_5.0]

The 03-04 cobras will never be left out. Lol those are the O.G’s!! 🤙🏼 man these cars are gonna be stout with a GEN 3 vmp

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

You know it!

[@michealortiz3350]

I dont see it being worth selling my vmp gen 2 and upgrading to this blower

[@lx347cid]

holy crap. Im not going to clearance my coolant crossover tube like that. Cant you make or fabricate a new one included with the kit?

[@adamrangel9752]

I also own a 03 cobra and would love to see a Dyno video.

[@EngiNBiz]

Let's see the numbers!!!!

[@svtpower03]

I like everything about it besides having to smash my crossover tube... it should have been designed to clear everything.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

In a perfect world yes, but we are putting the latest supercharger on a car that is 16 years old. The original blower was very narrow and the 2.65l is very wide for efficiency. This was the best tradeoff when it came to hood clearance and overall fitment.

[@anthonylaudano9751]

@@VMPPerformanceTV Love to know what power it made.

[@yannyfrag]

Nice video I love it, i own a 04 cobra and now i want an upgrade on my stock eaton lol

Seriously. Just use steel brailede lines instead

Still no Dyno numbers

[@robloose3360]

You really should show how to tighten the elbow bolt on the bottom toward front of car 😂 because you can’t when blower is all the way down

[@stever.9171]

Good video I've done this on my 03. May I suggest listing the torque values?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Thanks 03 cobra, we could, but its very important to have a good feel, as some of the bolts are known to break. You can often feel this with a regular ratchet than a big long torque wrench.

[@stever.9171]

I hear ya. Its a small little inch lb wrench actually. Unless you have money and can afford snap on digital. Which I cannot. Great video though. It really helps the small guys out here grinding trying to save every penny, so they can dump it right back into the build. The struggle is real.

[@joshl9816]

So what are the dyno numbers?? I have a gen 2 on my 03 cobra now and have been trying to decide if it's worth the money to upgrade to the gen 3.

[@KARR]

Very odd inter cooler design ford did on the terminators

[@Brett321]

Ive been indecisive with Gen3 2.65 or 2.9 Whipple... leaning more toward Whipple because I haven't seen VMP dynos or reviews. I have 6 weeks to make decision. Sooo is this new VMP a must have? or

[@geestang2662]

VMP should make a lighter component supercharger, less weight up front

[@whipplewatson8920]

How come you have to drain the engine coolant ? I’ve never had to do that with any supercharger install

[@goodnoughperformance]

We replaced the cooling crossover tube o-rings on this one .

[@whipplewatson8920]

I’m curious as to why you drained the coolant??

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Hi Danny, we removed the crossover tube to replace the o-rings (with the new ones provided) as part of the modification to it. Just extra insurance.

[@ryanbostic8314]

I just bought this kit and on the 5inch silicon sleeve that connects to the throttle body there is not a hole for me to connect the hose coming from the top of the crankcase what can I do?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Hey Ryan! We recommend a crankcase breather in this case, such as the link we're including. www.vmpperformance.com/C-F-M-Billet-Valve-Cover-Breather-Kit-for-03-04-Cobra

[@ryanbostic8314]

In this video I see a oil separator do you recommend that or a push breather?

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

A catch can can be helpful to monitor certain attributes of your engine's health, but would take a little pricier kit to remote mount a catch can with a breather. The more power/boost you're running, the more crankcase pressure and more use you'll get out of a nicer breather/catch can assembly.

[@edgarramirez337]

wee need some dyne numbers please lol I've been debating if whipple gen 3 or vmp gen 3

[@Brett321]

Have you found dyno number for a gen3 VMP Cobra yet... I still haven't seen 1 and this blower been out for a little while now. Wonder if their ashamed to reveal. Whipp2.9 or VMP

[@fredarias8524]

Micheal Ortiz still feel the same? Im running stock Eaton and im in the market!!

@@michaelg4776 I would run atleast a 2.9 whipple, if you cant get the new gen 5 3.0. The vmp is good but the whipple are better
