It would be extremly unefficent. You could however put a GTP blower on your car or even bigger yet but unefficent a 03-04 cobra blower.

Shelby GT500 = Built by Ford... DOHC 4-valve 5.4L w/ Ford GT heads and an Eaton M122 blower, etc.
The name is close, but they aren't really just different versions of the same car. The Shelby GT is basically a special edition Mustang GT. The GT500 is a totally different beast.

gt350- shelby's run worse that regular gt's in a way, they are a untuned motor with axleback exhaust and a air filter performance wise, with a bad 5 speed driver they run 13.9-14.4's if it was an auto you might not have beaten him, your best 1/4 mile is 13.7 in you sig. and you "creamed him", my stock GT runs mid 13's with an auto, good kill celica! ill post my 1/4 mile vid soon of my 13.48 at 104 in the 1/4 with a stock auto GT on DR's.
the gt500- is a BEAST! but a highly modded ss/sc balt with meth or nos could take one, i know, ive seen it! If my ss/2.4 balt wasnt such a lemon i wouldve bought a ss/sc.
05+ gt's- throw some REAL bolt-on's on and tune it with a 4.10 axle ratio you have yourself a 12 sec car N/A
but seriously celica nice kill, im not beeing a dick, i love your car!

1. Rarity... obviously, they will never match the original Shelby's, but the Shelby GT's are fairly rare. I wouldn't buy one, but that is one reason why someone might...
2. Auto-X... People are using these for Auto-X because they've got suspension and bolt-ons and are still technically "stock"

I agree to a certain extent. A couple notes, though:

2. Auto-X... People are using these for Auto-X because they've got suspension and bolt-ons and are still technically "stock"

Obviously, that makes sense to us logical people, but I'm not sure it works that way. I don't think you can just throw the suspension kit and bolt-ons on the GT and have it still run in the "stock" class because it's NOT stock anymore. However, the Shelby can... because it IS.
