03 Cobra dyno numbers BS or not? A guy I know dynoed his 03 Cobra M6 vert that only has a cold air intake on a superflow dyno and made 402 hp. Is this correct? What does a S/C Cobra make to the rear wheels stock? I just don't know if this is BS or what. Also the car ran a 12.75 on stock tires.

sounds about normal to me, its very possible with the 03/04 cobras to have well over 400 hp with just an exhaust and simple small bolt ons. I wouldn't doubt it for a second.

That's pretty stout for a CAI Cobra but very believable. Many catback and CAI Cobra's are making over 410rwhp. Add a 2.8" blower pulley and tune and it's an easy 450rwhp.

Yeah it is possible, the new SC Cobras are dyno queens, especially being a manual tranny. They put down good numbers on the dyno but on the street it is a diffrent story. This guy has a yellow04 Cobra with minor bolt ons dynoing 440hp and my friend has a red 01 Formula dynoing 365hp and my friend has raped that Cobra time and time again! Gm Rocks!

the dyno shop that i do my tuning at. He does alot of cobra's I would say that those numbers are right. They usually get over 400 to the wheel with a K&N fipk kit and wot A/F tune to get the ratio in line.

Yep, we are dyno queens only. Don't run worth a ****.
SSsinister - I would love to show you how a dyno queen pulls your "friend".

440rwhp and Gobbs of down low torque < a lighter F-body with only 365hp.
So the moral of the story is either the dude in the Cobra cant drive for ****, and your buddy can drive his *** off, or your completely full of **** and the cobra wasnt racing.

My old 03 cobra put down 469hp and 517tq with just a 2.76 pulley, Cai, Off road x-pipe and cat back. This was with a mail order predator tune from Amazon Racing. Air Fuel was even rich. I miss it sometimes but it had issues.

I believe that !! My little LS1 beat a 05 GT (non cobra) real bad outta the hole and all the way till the end. HE was running N20. He blew past me at the traps but I kicked his **** all the way down
