Let's say he's making 320 at the wheels, that's about 360 at the fly, not bad. Do you have headers or anything else? What about suspension?

alright. yeah, the compression is one thing thats killing ya. but, u want full streetable, nothin wrong with that. i was gonna say the GT40 heads are holding you back too. but, your car, your engine, you probably know this. go get him.

RE: The Stang Prevails???
I know my compression is low, but it's still decent! I really want to get my gt 40's machined! I have seen 11 flat with gt40's that had work done to them! The guy in the srt4 is a satge 2 which is about 335 hp or so I've been told! I think it will be a battle! May the wholeshot win!
ohh and my suspension is coming here in a couple of weeks! (maybe) Its moroso drag springs in the front, upr d.a. control arms, monroe shocks and struts, and some mt dr's!

RE: The Stang Prevails???
i always thought heads and cam for those 5.0s were enough to put out some serious hp, add bolt ons and gears and the car should be a rocket, and then stroke it and then its just plain silly. im a little confused as to why ur asking this in the first place. did u have a little trouble with one a while back? u should be able to waste a stock one from any speed i would think. hell, i was nipping at the heals of one with a few mods (i think stage 1) with 2 passengers in my car without spraying. and that was from a 35 mph roll. stock srt-4s will run a 13.9 pretty easily with a good driver (ie. one that knows how to finesse the launch) they are just a little faster in stock form than the 2v GTs, but are so difficult to launch that it becomes a straight drivers race. 230 hp i believe is what they have. people will tell u that they are underpowered and dyno at their advertised crank hp 
but no, the numbers seem right for a 2900 lbs turbo coup. their power to weight is good, but they have low torque, which is really why we have trouble with them from a roll. but from a dig they dont have what it takes to get off the line.
anyways, have u had ur car dyno'd or to the track? those foxs didnt weigh really any more than the srt-4s do, so if ur putting out about 250 hp or so u should be fine, and i would think ur way above that. another good way to tell is if uve ever raced a new edge GT and won, u will probably beat the neon.

well, all FI cars respond better to bolt on mods than NA cars do, but i think 335 may be a little elevated. i hear alot of hp numbers for alot of cars, but im not seeing the track results to back those numbers up. i talked to a guy with a stage 2 just the other day and he said he was good for low-mid 13s (13.2-13.4ish). in that light *** car, 335 hp better give better than that. id say maybe 300 bhp with the stage 2 for those results. and he pulled a 13.9 stock so i dont think his driving is an issue.
