Huh? 03-04 Cobra's with any competant driver will break 13.0's. 03-04 Cobra's have 390FWHP (underrated).
On my baseline dyno, I pulled over 400 RWHP & TQ. I had a CAI and Magnaflows. These are the most common mods done to the Cobras.

Dan's right about the underrated part. I believe that with your mods, you are in that same area.

What about gears? Are you still running stock?

I think you have a good chance against a stock '03-04 Cobra assuming you have DR's along w/you mods. The fact the Cobra has more weight, & IRS will give the nod to you from a dig, plus your SC is centrifical so, you'll make the power on top to keep you smiling. But this race could go either way, so be careful. I'd take my chances w/the Roush over the Cobra.

You don't want to do anymore than 3.73's with the S/C. I agree with most here that I think you will be able to hang with the Cobra, but not beat it.

If you wanna find out, how about racing RTM???

I think 3.73's vs 4.10's on a supercharged Stang depends largely on the goal of the person, the type of blower installed, & how much psi being used. 3.73's would definitely be better on a roots IMO, whereas I'd use 4.10's on a centrifical, since the real rwhp is made up to, the 4.10's would allow for better use of the bottom end.

there is only 200rpms difference between the two. What's the big deal?
