Mustang enthusiasts swap engines and power adders all the time, but when you associate a certain power adder with a person, and then they pull a switcheroo on you, it takes a minute to wrap your head around it.

For Power by the Hour’s (PBH) Jake Long, he’s always been associated with turbocharged combinations. This Cobra has had a myriad of power adders and engines, but at the NMRA Spring Break Shootout, we ran into him in the tech line, and he popped the hood to reveal a VMP TVS-supercharged Coyote engine.

The VMP TVS makes 13 pounds of boost on Jake’s combo, which consists of a Coyote engine with Ford Racing Boss internals, Comp Cams Stage 3 cams, ID1000 injectors, and a JLT Performance hydro-dipped cold air intake. The car’s exhaust consists of American Racing Headers Coyote-swap headers, and a 3-inch exhaust with Magnaflow Street mufflers. The transmission is a PBH-built 4R70W with a Circle D converter from an NA application. Therefore, the stall is too high, but it’s what Long had on hand so he’s going with it.

Look, a VMP TVS supercharger under the hood of Jake Long’s Cobra. The car makes 728-rwhp on E85.

Long’s Cobra wears RTR wheels with Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial II drag radials. During Thursday night’s test and tune session here at Bradenton Motorsports Park, Long ran a 10.90 at 137 mph, but with a 1.99 60-ft time. “I blew the tires off,” Long says. The stall speed combined with the 3.73 gears out back blew the tires off at the hit. “It should run 9.90s-9.80s.”  We’ll see what the weekend holds for Long, but we’re sure he’ll get it figured out.

The big news with Long’s Cobra is it uses PBH’s Coyote-swap brackets to make the blower swap possible, and still have A/C, power steering, and power brakes. Up until recently, Coyote swaps were limited when it came to power adders, especially positive displacement superchargers like the VMP TVS. PBH was one of the first to market with brackets, making these types of swaps easier to perform.
