anything else would be blasphemy
@Redordead89 it is not an intercooler, that would be the external oil cooler, according to the build sheet for the engine its pumping out around 475 hp, it doesn't exactly need a blower 
but if you're totally sure you want to die, old man Carrol did build something for you.
AC produced only 23 AC Cobra 427 competition roadsters. In 1966, one was selected and converted into a special model called the 427 (CSX3015) "Cobra to End All Cobras." The first one of these was originally part of a European promotional tour before its conversion. This conversion called for making the original racing model street legal with mufflers, a windshield and bumpers amongst other modifications. But some things were not modified, including the racing rear end, brakes andheaders. The most notable modification is the addition of Twin Paxton Superchargers, TPS. Shelby crafted two 427 models by himself, adding the TPS to each, and gave them the model number CSX3303. He gave one of the two cars to comedianBill Cosby, a close friend, and kept the other for himself. Shelby eventually converted his car to make it street-legal, including the addition of windshields and mufflers, and renamed it the 427 SC (Semi-Competition).
When Cosby attempted to drive his CSX3303, he found that it was very difficult to keep under control; he later recounted the experience on his 1968 stand-up comedy album 200 M.P.H.. Cosby gave the car back to Shelby, who then shipped it out to one of his company's dealers in San Francisco, S&C Ford on Van Ness Avenue. S&C Ford then sold it to customer Tony Maxey. Maxey, suffering the same issues as Cosby did with the car, lost control and drove it off a cliff, landing in the Pacific Ocean waters.[18]
Shelby used his CSX3303 as a personal car over the years, sometimes entering it into local races like the Turismos Visitadores Cannonball-Run race in Nevada, where he was "waking [up] whole towns, blowing out windows, throwing belts and catching fire a couple of times, but finishing."[19] The CSX3015 was auctioned on 22 January 2007, at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event in Scottsdale, Arizona, for $5 million plus commission (£2.8 million), a record for a vehicle made in the U.S.[20][21]
