Yeah the have 320 after the fix was in..The problem with the 99 cobra's were with the intake and exhaust system and of course the IRS made if very difficult to get traction..most were good for high 13's low 14's just like GT's

Damn, that blows for 99 Cobra owners. Image buying the Cobra only to be beat by a mildly modded GT[sm=lame.gif] Looks like the 99 Cobra is pretty much the same as the 96-98 Cobra.

You probably don't have 275 rwhp...unless you have a dyno tune or chip.

No, i didnt think i did. I ve never heard of a dyno around here and i dont have a chip, but i need one once im through with mods. ive got 373 in the mail, so that might help the cause. Oh yeah and we will race on a 1/8 mile and I have consistant 60ft times @ 2.1(is that bad?) with stock tires and stock gears. Now ive got 275's and 3.73 will be on before then

Well, you have full bolt-ons so with a tune you could be making 275 rwhp.....which is very good. The gears will help you at the track big time. 2.1 isn't too shabby.....you should be able to get under 2.0 with your tires and gears.

Well, you should really go to a dyno shop. They can burn you a custom chip or just tune your stock chip. Also, SCT is suppose to be great for tuning our cars.
