How much do stock Cobras makes at the wheels?

Jmac, your right you can only go so fast on the street but still people street race so the more power they can get is better. Also you can never have enough power if you drag race

Not everyone is into cone dodging like you. Who ever said anything about using all the power you make on the street? At the drag strip you can only go so fast with the power you make. If you want better ET's and you have already got good tires, great suspension, and a great launch the next thing is to add more power!

I know that everyone isn't into cornering. It also seems like most people hit the drag strip maybe 2 times a year. Even before I did auto x I felt as if I had enough power. Maybe I just don't live in an area with fast enough cars to bother.

its kinda like people who collect cards..yea you have like 3000 cards but if you can just get a few more rare ones youll be happy...then you want some more...and more...kinda like horse power for us lol we get to 400 and think we'll be happy, bout a month later were looking at built shortblocks.


i know i shouldnt use all my power (what little i have) on the street but i do...all the time when no ones around and IMO thats fine as long as you dont put anyone else in danger

a stock termi makes 390 at the crank... so lets say you made 380bhp (your estimate) to the ground with your car stock, you made 415 bhp with a catback and intake??? 35hp gain with the those 2 mods? uhh yeah thats interesting.

If you knew anything about terminators you would know that they were underrated by ford and made around 420 crank hp. But you are prob just one of them guys that have no experience with a terminator and just base you power numbers off what magazines and what ford tells people.

Sure did:



Car was pretty lean with just an intake/exhaust.



Intake, Longtubes, Midpipe, Catback, EGR Delete, and Tune is the second run

Since then I have added more to get the numbers in my sig.
