Didn't they dyno around 270whp? If so just headers/full exhaust and a good tune should get you real close.

I saw in a past issue of MM&FF that a 96 Cob only put down 255 brand new one of the editors said when compairing the RWHP #s to the Mach1

Thats about right for a 96-98 Cobra...LT/mid pipe/catback, Pulleys, maybe a CAI would get you close with a Dyno Tune....those Dubs will really hurt you though.

Different dynos = different numbers. Also some cars dyno better than others from the factory. Im not sure if i can believe 290rwhp stock. I think 260-270 is typical.

umm to see anything to the wheels over 300... you need full bolt ons.. which basically for our cars would be full exhaust,intake,pulleys.. and the rest goes to make it faster in the 1/4.. suspension/gears/blah blah....

other then that... build the motor and go FI
