LT1 vs SN95 5.0 Cobra So I was just cruising with my girl and see a 94-95 Mustang that sounded pretty good. Pulled up to a light and heard a little lope coming from it (e/b303) so I throw him a rev and he nods and smiles so I know it's game time. We get on the highway and line up at 60, I'm in 3rd and we honk and I start pulling pretty bad. By 110 rolls around 10+ cars. This happens 4 times, same result. I get off and head home, I had a 150 mile trip back home so I didn't wanna risk breaking something or get in to much trouble. Guy was cool, nodded and gave me a thumbs up. Probably just a GT40 headed and intake'd 5.0 with a b/e303 cam. Still fun.

Need more of a background on your car and 10 cars seems a bit unreasonable. Maybe your depth perception is quite flawed.

That's the beater, i haven't been on in awhile lol. I need to update.
I assure you it was 10 cars lol. Two 18 wheelers could've fit in the space. And car is a 94 Z28 M6 just a lil cammed 355.
No idea, possible I guess? Had a little bit of lope so it was just a guess.

Don't think so and this car wasn't likely a real Cobra either(fewer than 4300 of them made that yr). If it had iron GT40 heads(which 1995 Cobras did come with), it would make more power than a stock GT, so we're looking at a 3450+ lb Mustang(sans driver) making about 190-200rwhp The Cobra was rated at 235-240(depending upon whom you ask) and made about 200 at the asphalt.
Not much of a race for a typically same weight and far more powerful LT1 Camaro. My 95 GT weighed over 3500 lb. It was a convertible with leather, etc., but the point is, that SN95 was heavy compared to the Fox body it replaced. At the track, factory stock, mine ran 15's. I think I got a 15.3 from it, but I raced so much back then(w/ several other cars) that I just can't remember. It was slow and I took it 1 time only.
Heads are all but 100% necessary. Stock heads lack ... altogether. A good set of aluminum(even GT40 Turbo Swirl) along with a standard 6-8 lb Vortech could typically net at least close to 300rwhp with a decent tune. Stepping up to a 22psi version, it could exceed 500. Of course, the stock A50 block would probably shatter.
Perhaps if that's the ONLY upgrade. There are several versions available, any of which add over 100hp and near 100 lb-ft torque(minimum). There are far too many variables to make such a broad statement as yours. I've seen Vortech supercharged Mustangs running low 8's on the 1/4 mile. I've read of at least 2 in the 7's. Either is several hundred hp above that of a 13 second car.
