Default keep up with a cobra

i was asking the guys on SVT to see what they think, how much a 03-04 cobra would kill me or if ide be remotely close to him with the mods on my sig...just to see what they would say. suprisingly some1 with a 98 t/a said he would "teleport" away from me...just seeing if it was mustang bias opinion or what, he said a cam and a 100 shot and i could do it..i wouldnt expect to run him..maybe keep up...but damn, that bad? im not racing, just geting info so i can make a good judgement call when its time(if ever) to throw down on a snake

From the numbers that I've seen on stock 03-04 Cobras, they're mid to high 12 second cars. So with your mods you should run right with him I'd hope. If you had cams I'd think you might have the advantage.

Not sure what that guy was smoking but a full bolt on LS1 would edge out a stock Terminator. Strong full bolt on cars make in excess of 350rwhp and stock termies about 365-380 for a strong one but avg around 370 or so. A strong H/C/I car in excess of 450rwhp would give a ported eaton upper/lower Cobra a run for its money and without the port and lower pulley the f-bod should win. A H/C 150shot LS1 would slightly pull a Twin Screw car on pump gas and 17-19lbs with the older style kb's. The new 2.6h and 2.8h are a lot more efficient and I have seen one make 700+rwhp on pump. Keep in mind It takes the average F-bod about 30-35 less hp or so to beat a Cobra from what I have seen.

You would probably run right with a stock one, if you can find one that's still stock, but I wouldn't bank on it too much, as it would be close. As for the guy that said it would take a cam + 150 shot.....no. Either one of those mods on thier own would put you way ahead of a stock Term and combined would get you in the ported/pullied range and then some. I plan on having a full bot-on stalled/cammed A4 car that will run with a pullied Cobra here soon.

You should be fairly close to a stock one with the mods that you have currently. But good luck on finding a stock one. I have several friends that have them with pulley exhaust intake and computer tune and put out between 450-490whp. Luckily in my h/c car I havent lost to one yet, but you can be assured the first time it happens Im going to get a Procharger.

Really?? heres a few for you. Cam only boltons and 150 shot is what this car has done.

same car vs a 402 stroker vette. Other vid is the same vette, same night against a Whippled Cobra to show the difference.

It's been a while since I've seen someone say that an ls1 has "cams".

With equal driving you will beat a stock Cobra. With a good cam or h/c you should beat pullied Cobras. With a 150 shot on top of that you should beat twin screwed Cobras.
