Well using the price of the two cars does not lesson the kill. If you take a Z28 for instance which is 10k less than a 03 Cobra and put a forged bottomend($3k), 6.0L truck heads with stage II porting ($2k), ATI Procharger with injectors, LS1 edit and COG($6500), and install if you do it yourself($nothing).. You have $10500 into the car. You are just $1500 more than a 03 Cobra. What is the result of this? At about 9 to 12lbs of boost you have out powered the 03 Cobra b4 3500rpm. By 6krpm you have outpowered the KB 03 Cobra in the video of this post. You ask why most do not do this? Money!!! On the same Z28 you could build a faster car for $9k less and if you really want to get crazy you could get the forged bottomend and heads just for security and the ability to spray MORE...
