Cammed 99 Cobra

The n/a 4cam 4.6s are actually a lot more stout then most people give them credit for I think. Personally I believe the key is in the tuning, and there just aren't many GOOD n/a mod motor tuners to choose from (whereas in the GM world finding a good tuner isn't hard at all).
My brother almost bought a 97 Cobra (the 96-98s were rated at 305hp vs. the 320hp of the 99 and 01 Cobras) with full bolt ons and a dyno tune that ran into the 12's @ 110.9mph. That's damn fast for an N/A 96-98 Cobra!

He would gain tremendous amounts of power. I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.
Ok, since PSI or boost has nothing to do with anything, pulley down someones supercharger or turn the boost down on someones turbo car, since it has nothing to do with the "equation" and see what happens. It is part of the equation but is dependent on each individual car and its combo. Your last tid bit doesn't make sense to me. And he can say he's been to 100 dynos and I still won't believe him when I just posted a link showing 50-100 different 4.6-5.4 combo's making less power (not much) than what he's claiming with much more "complete" combination's.
Yes, it's helping him to understand that his "dyno numbers" are a fantasy and that he's going to be really disappointed when his car doesn't perform on the track or on the other "track".

You're an excellent example of a mustang hater... Just wait til you get waxed by a Cobra with a whipple or KB on it

I can appreciate a good build but slapping cams into a bolt on 4v is not going to just magically produce 380+whp, especially through an IRS with 4.10 gears. That's reality, not opinion. Again, refer to this thread, its chuck full of build information and power/torque numbers:

And to your silly "getting waxed by a Cobra with a whipple or KB" comment, it's never happened. I never got a chance to run one with my 384 combo but when I was H/C, I was able to pull 3 cars on a pullied/bolt on 04 screamin' yellow. Now, considering my 384 made 30+ more peak rwhp/50+ peak rwtq and loads more under the curve, I'd venture to say I'd have done pretty well against a KB/whipple cobra here in hell. And had I lost the race or got "waxed", I'd have gave them a thumbs up and been just fine with it. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that 03/04's, driven properly, are something fierce.

Alright, this is for the one that doesnt believe.
This was the first dyno ran after the cam install on the initial tune, made 368rwhp, the only vid they took of it, but the final dyno cranked out 381 on the current tune that I have. I am doing a dyno day this month and will get you a dyno sheet. This is from fastlane motorsports videos, i am posting thiers because it states in the info box on the right how much it put out.

It is really loud, this is from when I had the LM1s on it and the IRS. You will have to go to the youtube page to see what fastlane posted.

Really? This thread full of 50-100+ cars/combos shows differently. There are some serious mod motor combo's in the thread I provided and they aren't making 380rwhp "easily". See, I'm sitting, watching, learning and researching and I'm still not seeing where I'm an "idiot". So, how about you drop the holier than thou attitude and research it yourself, prove that I'm such an idiot.

It will show a few more ponies but its still a geared rear end, its eatin' up power.
All are 4.6 based motors or are still the factory 4.6 with H/C and some with ported intakes/shortened runners

Boost is just a number on a gauge... My gauge might see 15psi with MY TC78 turbo, but what if I saw 15psi out of an S91? My motor would blow... The PSI is determined by what your motor can handle and how the tune allows it. If your motor can handle 15psi from a TC78, chances are you might only handle 6psi from a S91. All superchargers and turbos don't flow the same CFM from 10psi... but you knew this right?![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)

This statement is semi-false. A geared rear will only change the efficiency of the car's performance depending on what kind of racing you would like to do. I could have a 800rwhp car with 4.10s still make that, maybe a little more with less gear... but that doesn't eat up power. That's like saying my 2.73 ratio will add power to my new set up... What would be the perfect gear to not loose any power up top, but not sacrifice any down low? that depends on the set up

"PSI" is NOT determined by what your motor can handle or what the tune allows for. It's determined by the wastegate/spring used and or a pulley and the other factors I've already mentioned along with a little common sense by the owner.
It's never happened because you've never raced one. Beating a pullied cobra is for a cam only LS1, so if it took you H/C, then you need to revamp your set up. And you wouldn't do well against a KB or whipple cobra because the stock blowers are nothing compared to a whipple or KB.

So, for my H/C car to pull 3 cars on a pullied/bolt on cobra up to around 125mph, that's pretty damn good. Also, KB and Whipple cobra's are not putting down the 600+rwhp you see else where, here in hell. They make around 550-580rwhp and they run hard but I guarantee my 350-400lb weight advantage combined with my 490rwhp setup would have been a DAMN good race. I mean FFS, before I sold the SS I pulled half a car through the tip top of 1st gear (6k through 7k rpms) and then pulled another car through 2nd (shut down immediately after running out 2nd due to traffic) on a friends old bolt on (Borla exhaust, Smooth tubes, Aluminum flywheel)/3.55 gear'd 98 GTS viper. He claimed I pulled 2 cars but I can't verify for sure. Same car trapped 120mph on street tires in 100+ degree heat.

We all know that mustangs do not typically perform on the dyno like they should... I'm simply stating that this guy might have a freak car on the dyno (s). That also says nothing about the street... My car ran a best of 8.0@93 in the 1/8, but from a roll, I could walk a GSXR750 with a decent rider... been there, done that.

This statement is semi-false. A geared rear will only change the efficiency of the car's performance depending on what kind of racing you would like to do. I could have a 800rwhp car with 4.10s still make that, maybe a little more with less gear... but that doesn't eat up power. That's like saying my 2.73 ratio will add power to my new set up... What would be the perfect gear to not loose any power up top, but not sacrifice any down low? that depends on the set up

Lower numerical gears have more parasitic losses, proven. The amount of power that is "sapped" or eatin' up is dependent on the total power output that the vehicle is capable of.

Boost is just a number huh? That's funny, then why does anyone even reference anything about boost/pressure at all, if its just a number on a gauge? If you took the time to read my last post to you, you'd have seen where I said this "It is part of the equation but is dependent on each individual car and its combo." I.E Head flow, cam choice, primary size of the exhaust manifolds/headers, intercooler etc.
"PSI" is NOT determined by what your motor can handle or what the tune allows for. It's determined by the wastegate/spring used and or a pulley and the other factors I've already mentioned along with a little common sense by the owner.
It was pointed out already, thanks.
Uhm.... Didn't I just say that? Beating a pullied cobra is NOT "cam only" territory as most cam only cars, on average, trap between 115-117 (Mine went 116.55). Your average pullied cobra is trapping 118-121+mph and as you said, "the street is a different animal" which means they could be that much faster. BUT WAIT, I'M A MUSTANG HATER, HOW DO I KNOW THIS!?
So, for my H/C car to pull 3 cars on a pullied/bolt on cobra up to around 125mph, that's pretty damn good. Also, KB and Whipple cobra's are not putting down the 600+rwhp you see else where, here in hell.

They don't? Says who? Freak car or generous dyno? Look at what I've already posted dude, it takes more than what he's got to produce what he says he's making, PERIOD. Now, if these are STD numbers then that could say a lot and we could be arguing for no reason. Also, 1/8 mile for a turbo street car is barely allowing it to get chugging along (unless that's what the car is built for). Most F/I cars pick up big on the big end. So for you to walk a 750, right on, totally believable![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)
Eating up power as in MORE PARASITIC LOSSES. The bold area shows your HUGE contradiction. Good one
I'm not talking about racing or "perfect gear". Besides, 4v's love to be geared to the hilt (with in reason)

That's a generous dyno then. The 99 Cobra's had the worst heads as well as the shittiest intake casting flaws. So, it has nothing to do with my opinion, it has to do with simple facts. I can go and find plenty of other 98/99 Cobra's with cams and full bolt ons making quite a bit less than you, IE 10-20rwhp less. Also, 312 to the wheels with full bolt ons isn't the norm but I'll attribute it to the generous dyno.
I'm sorry you can't take constructive criticism and refuse to believe the masses that actually know what they're talking about. Regardless, car sounds good.

Thanks guys, after my deployment I will be adding some stuff plus weight reductions and new drag-launch eibach coil overs, thinking about stroking my engine and porting the intake manifold and heads and a few of the smaller things such as coil packs, better spark plugs, electric water pump and air conditioner delete.
I can't wait to get everything done. Want a T-56 or even been thinking of a C4 with a 3500 stall.
