I'm also curious. We're rated at what 305/300? I'd be willing to bet it puts down like 263hp/255tq

That's with 15% drivetrain loss

I google'd articles with dyno numbers..and one article was about bolt ons for a 99 GT and they compared RWHP to a stock 98 Cobra, which was said to make right around 260whp

Sounds about right...

My 96 GT only did 210 RWHP & 282 RWTQ. So jumping to an 01 Cobra is like night and day...

I've seen dyno numbers for a 98 cobra with LT headers and full exhaust no cats, Accufab T/B, JLT CAI, 25% U/D pullies and a custom tune on 93 octane put down 333rwhp + 319ft.lbs I'm not guaranteed that there wasn't any port and polish work on the heads, but the guys doesn't hide much of anything! I'll soon find out with my car, because it's set-up just like his minus the U/D pullies. I hate them. They rob you of your charging and A/C. I have a 4,000watt stereo I need to keep cool....lol
