Also in my earlier post I said "Procharger" which means an intercooled supercharger.
Ok when you swap 99 and up heads onto a 96-98 4.6 liter it bumps the compression up to 11:1. This is because the 96-98 motors use a flat-top piston, while the 99 and up motors use a dished one.

So if you throw a blower onto a 96-98 motor that's had the PI head swap done to it, it's probably gonna blow the motor.

So if you wanna run a blower on a 96-98 motor with a PI head way you need to rebuild the bottom end with forged internals that lower the compression to a blower friendly 8.5

No the 98 Cobra doesn't not have really high compression

Procharger's kick ***......what are you doing reading this, you should be out buying one!!!
