I think that you have a nice set-up, and could definately suprise some Cobras. Get some gears and I bet that car would be a blast.

RE: can i hang with a 03-04 cobra
Thats so true rtm. I saw a3 or 04 Cobra at the track a few weeks ago - word was the guy had a pulley upgrade, chip & exhaust. I saw him run a 13.2, 12.6, 13.0, & 12.9
As you can see he most likely had in the neighborhood of 450+ rwhp - and a BIG torque curve. Little ole me ran a couple 12.4's and a bunch of 12.'s and 12.6's ran out of gear every run. So the guy had probably 50+ rwhp peak and probably averaged 100 rwhp over me across the curve. Dude just couldn't drive it.
When your driving 14 or 15 second cars the 1/4 mile difference between different drivers may only be .1 seconds... but on a 12 second car it may be 1 second. Suspension and tires play a large roll as well.

mdvaldosta,
I think you bring up a very good point. You said you ran out of gear??? So at the point of all your mods plus the sc it would be more benificial for you to have 3.73's IF you had enough power to pass 112MPH in the 1/4. Looking at the calculator and assuming 6000rpm, 3.73's, 1.0 transmision ratio (4th gear right) and a tire diameter of 25.68 you could then go as fast as 123mph before you ran out of gear.
That's so cool, but I bet frustrating.

With stock gears you cant hang with the Cobra, better get 3:73's and way deep into the 12s to win. I race an 03 Cobra with only a pulley upgrade and cat back that runs 11.98.

Guys! The stock Cobras runs the quarter in the mid to high 13's depending on the driver. If your in the 12's which he would be with the right tires, it's no contest. Cobra's (03-04) have 320 horses.

Damn newbie! I have see a '03 cobra run 12.1 with a pully change and drag slicks. LOL And where in the hell did you get 320 hp? LMAO!!!
