You should definitely be able to beat a terminator.

I think I'd go with a 75mm tb with the KB. You should be pushing 420 or so at the crank as long as you get enough fuel. Now, work on the suspension so you can get that power to the ground.

yeah.. a stock 03/04 cobra comes with 390hp and you should be pushing 400

cobras also have IRS and a better gearing... so it'll still be close... there's a lot more to it than HP.

you'll be fine... but you'd benefit with a 75mm.

Are you kidding? Cobras have 4 valve heads, cams designed for F/I& forged internals on top of a factory configured blower. I'd be really curious what the answer to this question is.

I'd be surprised you could stick a KB onto aslightly modded2v engine & smoke a terminator... Does anyone really know the answer & not just guessing(ie, they've actually seen a Stock cobra vs KB 2v race eachother).
