My mods are cc306 cam,headers,1.6 roller rockers,pushrods, elecric waterpump,msd cap and rotor opti,tb bypass,pcm forless tuning,ported and gutted mass air,cai,spec stage 1, eibach pro kit,adj panhard bar, rca,relocation brackets,torque arm, and exaust. how many people think he is going to win? i have a gm hightech magazine with a 96 mustang cobra vs a 96 camaro ss, and the mustang had slicks and gears on it, and it lost against a bone stock camaro ss. I just dont think nitrous is going to really help him.
tell that dude to

like said we are pushrod motors= one cam in block. 16 valves
a sohc is single overhead cam meaning two cams, 16 valves( you know, they are v8's)
and a dohc is a double overhead cam obviously meaning they have four cams with 32 valves
come on its not rocket science

2 cams does not equal more power
4 valves per cylinder does not necessarily mean more power either... just remember even the Cobra motors are down over a liter of displacement and make similar to the lt1 in power.
I can not believe some of the misinformation bieng posted in this thread.
Some of it is factual, but there must be a slew of Cobra owners that dont have a clue how to drive.
A good race with what? Any tool with a pullied 03 cobra can run low 12 at 114-119, I dont think that a bolt on lt1 would be "a good race".
Most experienced 03/04 drivers are running well into the 11s with bolt ons, some have gotten into the 10s @ 126+.
True statement
It was the 99s that had that problem, they were rated at 320, but most only put down 250-255. Ford recalled the cars, the 99s with "the fix" would usually put down 265 (about what a stock 305hp 98 cobra would do).
The 01 made its advertised power, usually dynoing 270+.
The mach ones are very similar to the 01 Cobra, but usully run a couple tenths better due to better flowing heads.
Those times are about what your average driver runs in both cars (lt1 z, not T/A)in ok conditions. Most of the lt1 T/As run about a half of a second slower than an equal Z.
Full bolt on Zs seem to be running mid to low 13s at 105-106. Full bolt on Cobras (non supercharged) are running mid to low 12s @ 108-112.
These are local times of cars that I have witnessed or driven at the track, not what i have read about or seen posted.
Per bank of cylinder.
A sohc v8 has 2 cams
A DOHC v8 has 4 cams
+1
As for the Mustang GTs stock Fox's are Fairly slow usually running mid14s stock (although some of the earlier speed density LX coupes run high 13s @ 100-102 stock), 94-95 5.0 gts are snails (15.0), 96-98 4.6 gts are slugs (14.7-15.0), The 99-04s stock for stock are pretty even with an lt1, most run low 14s high 13s @98-100 (pretty much what I have seen with lt1s). They dont respond to well to minor boltons like the lt1 though.
Note:all time that I am listing are from 5 speed stangs, for a 87-95 auto, add a full second to the time, the AOD cars had a very sh*tty converter and a 2.4X first gear. The 96-04 autos with the 4R70W waer usually within a couple tenths of a 5 speed car.
I dont have much experience with the 05 or newer, and dont really care to (they are heavy pigs).
The only experience that I personnaly have is smoking one at a couple of street lights in a mostly stock 04 GT (4.10s, drag radials, H-pipe, predator), that consistantly ran 13.4s.
Sorry for the long post, But I had to add a little unbiased knowledge into the mix. I have owned quite a few F-Bodies in the past and am currently in the proscess of building a healthy LT1.

So you're claiming the folks here are lying about their times? If a full bolt on Z is only running mid to low 13s, something is wrong. High altitude, bad tune, I dunno. Running 13.8 STOCK and only getting low 13s with full bolt on is the worst investment ever. I would put a full bolt on FBody @ mid 12s with that setup. Again, conditions apply, so I'm just giving 1500ft above sea level as the avg. You run @ 5000+ and sure that mid-low 13 sounds more realistic.
