On the way out of the JBA Performance Center parking lot in the Factory Five Racing roadster A close-up picture of the pulley set-up and serpentine belt in Jeff Gaines’ Kenne Bell supercharged Cobra replica The Kenne Bell supercharger on a 5.0L requires a fairly long snout. This picture also shows the plumbing for the JBA-built custom cold air intake This picture reveals a polished throttle body, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, mini fuel pressure gauge, and headers with thermal-barrier header wrap
The JBA custom-built cold air intake curves from the throttle body down to below the radiator to pick up a source for cold air Nothing like a supercharger to pick up the performance of a fairly stock Ford 5.0L. With the smaller pulley, this Kenne Bell supercharger generates 12-psi boost and tire-shredding power This front end shot shows how the JBA-designed air filter sits in the lower mouth of the Cobra replica front end in order to pick up cold air A close-up picture of the front end shows how the JBA-designed air filter sits in the lower mouth of the Cobra replica front end in order to pick up cold air
