Stock vs your mods = you can win. It'll be a drivers race. Your gears are going to help a LOT in the race.

Those mods, with drag radials and a good driver mod, are ABSOLUTELY capable of a very low 13 second pass. You have built yourself quite the NA car. You'd really benefit from cams now.

Expect to run high 13's, even low 14's. It's a whole lot harder to drive your car to the edge of it's capabilities than people may lead you to believe.

I don't really like to estimate what it's making for HP. So many people took a really low mile Cobra to the dyno and only make 360RWHP and others took a 10,000 mile stock Cobra and made 380-390RWHP....

But my guess, I would absolutely be over the 420rwhp mark with the catback & pulley swap. I'll find out in May when I get my 3 baseline runs.

Your probably looking at about 270-280 RWHP? and your car weighs around 3600 lbs w/out you

With good traction I could see you running mid 13's pretty easily. As far as beating a 05/06 GT, MACH 1 ?

A Stock 05/06 GT will run high 13's with a pretty good driver who know how to launch the car
A Stock 03/04 Mach 1 will go mid-high 13's " "

There was an article in MM&FF a while back where they tested 3 stock cars (an I think 02 GT (auto), an 03 Cobra and an 03 Mach 1)
The 02 GT (auto) went a 14.1
The 03 Cobra went a 12.5
The 03 Mach 1 went a 13.1

All were stock

My car went a 13.11 @103 w/240 RWHP (but its also 600 lbs ligher than your car)

You think his car weighs 3600 lbs without him in it?

I'm not so sure about that. The curb weight is close to 3300 lbs...

This guy i know Has an 04 Cobra (full weight) and with him and the car weighs 3950 lbs. Them things are BOATS!

An 01 GT can't be much lighter than that. Correct me if i'm wrong

The engine, plus SC, 6 speed tranny & IRS weigh quite a bit more than those of a GT.

IRS = an extra 300-400lbs alone if I'm not mistaken
Heavier block on the Cobra + charger and 6 speed tranny makes up the rest more or less. (minus the driver...160-170?)

Lol...dammit 04 you beat me to it!
