any upgrades we do to the shelbys, we upgrade the core. the pump always stays. it does very well. assuming the terminator cobra is the same as the gt500.

The Bosch pump is super reliable. I just don't care for the fact that you can't put AN fittings on it. I chose to go with the Meziere pump for that fact alone.

I run the Bosch, no problem (except when you run it on the street, in the winter and the water freezes in the....well, you get the idea). Very hardy pump.

I have also ran the Meziere (temporarily while getting a replacement Bosch). That's a hearty, heavy unit. Both work great.

My tank is a 2.1 gallon tank (special fabbed to my size specs) and I also have a 4" x 8" barrel core with a 3" wide X 30"(?) long, same side end tank, FMIC. The Bosch has no problem pushing the water throughout the system.

I run mine as just strip now, so the 2.1 gallon tank is no problem (it also has an ice set-up). Honestly I think your tank would be too small for the street. I would want a bigger tank for the street to help to dissipate the heat generated. The more water you have the harder it is to heat it all up. I would think something along the 5 gallon mark would be better for the street. maybe minimum 3 gallon.

we have been using the stock moroso bottle for the shelbys in out black car deep into the 9's with a kb.

this car has the supercharger removed for a pair of turbos, and since we did a different top hat, the tank had to be moved. this one holds almost 2 gals.
