Yeah, I would like to do a turbo on either of the cars, but when I say money isnt a concern I'm not trying to get ridiculous. The power would be great but there's a couple of concerns I have about that. Obviously the cost, but also the tuning that may be involved, and the likely hood of breaking stuff. The initial cost + a new shortblock would make be buy an SUV and forget all the BS. Also, the pressure that would come along with having a turboed V8, getting beat may be few and far between, but oh the shame of losing to anything from a roll.

More effecient, do not take horsepower to run (like blowers), and no bottle to contiounsly refill. Think what kind of turbo system you could have after using bottle on a regula basis for a year ?

Not that Scott is biased or anything.
It would respond well to any of the above, but i'd go the FI route if it were me vs. NOS for a daily driver.

So how is any of the above any different than having a blower or a lot of bottle as far as breaking stuff ? Seems like a bottled motor would need as much or more bulletproofing than any of the other combos. And the tuning would not be any different than a blower, right ?
Did not really think about the plumbing issues but you said cost was no issue.
Not really biased.

Yes the Cobra 4v motors respond well to boost. But I think a good nitrous setup for that car is commonly overlooked. Jomar went mid 11s with just a 150 shot and a few bolt ons
That white Cobra convertable went high tens with more boltons and suspension. I think a dual stage nitrous kit done up right on the high revving Cobra would kick ass, You could get close to 500 rwtq from 3000 rpm to 7000 rpm. Then gear the crap out of it and stand back.
Honestly...with your own eyes..when is that last time you saw a good performing Cobra at the track with a blower. Most I have seen go high 11s to mid 12s. Lotta money for that performance.
I think ultimately you can get more from a turbo setup..but we are talking major $$$. For a GOOD performing street/strip setup...id give some juice a shot. Preferably a dual stage 100/75 shot.
