DEARBORN, Mich. - Power-inducing, high-performance engine technologies spawned from the infamous Mustang Cobra Jet are available at performanceparts.ford.com.

Ford Performance’s Cobra Jet 5.0L Intake Manifold features an all-new lid design and delivers a significant power increase over the Ford Performance BOSS 302 intake manifold, with no loss of torque.

This High-Performance Intercooler Pump Kit from Ford Performance is ideal for high-performance supercharged applications using an air-to-liquid intercooler.

Super Cobra Jet Cylinder Heads from Ford Performance are available in three formats: bare; assembled with dual springs; or assembled with dual springs and damper. All bring a high-flow design enabling a 25-to-50 horsepower increase over Ford Racing aluminum Cobra Jet heads.

For competition drag enthusiasts looking to put more bolt in their colt(s), a myriad of Cobra Jet-spawned, power-inducing engine technologies are available from Ford Performance Parts. Here’s just a few:

Put the Valvetrain On a Diet

Consider this: every gram of weight reduction in the valvetrain adds 35 to 40 rpm potential to the engine. Now consider this: The 2018 Cobra Jet 5.2L Titanium Valve Train Kit (M-6505-CJ52) includes intake/exhaust valves that are up to 36-percent lighter than stock. 

For drag race competitors, that all adds up to a good HROI (Horsepower Return on Investment).

More Air Means More Power

When peak power is wanted (and when is it not), the Cobra Jet 5.0L Intake Manifold (M-9424-M5OCJA) is designed to channel more air into the engine with runners tuned for 7750 rpm peak power and no loss of torque.

The manifold was developed on the naturally aspirated Cobra Jet Race Car and remains one of the most popular modifications to 5.0L Coyote equipped racers.

Maintain Peak Performance

Ford Performance Parts’ High-Performance Intercooler Pump Kit (M-8501-M58) delivers maximum supercharger performance via a system designed to efficiently send water through the intercooler to get the most power gains possible. The system was original equipment on the 2016 Cobra Jet race car and 2013-2014 Shelby® GT500.®

Bolt-On Power

Super Cobra Jet Cylinder Heads (M-6049-SCJ/SCJA/SCJB) feature revised valve angles and locations to reduce cylinder wall shrouding and improve flow. Redesigned combustion chambers are engineered to accommodate more centrally-located valves. The cylinder heads fit 429 and 460 engines (except Boss 429) and will provide between 25- and 50-more horsepower than normal Cobra Jet heads, depending on displacement and camshaft.
