you may run a high 12. like tntramair said thats at the crank and your prolly around 330-340 max rwhp. did they send you some KY w/ your puchase also?

And a Full Bolt On car w/ stock 10 bolt you MITE see 370-380 rwhp w/ great tuning.

sory to bust your bubble

but anything that is a mid 12sec car an faster you prolly wont beat, but could stay w/

A full bolt on car isnt going to put down 360-370 rwhp. Thats getting into cammed car range. A full bolt on car will be around 340-350ish rwhp...... Anyways enjoy the car but before you buy more SLP "Stage Packages" read around you might be able to use your money better....

No way to take an 04 Cobra with current mods, sorry man. Unless theres a driver error, as in you being a really good driver and the Cobra driver being horribly bad. After the headers and all you will probably have 400 CRANK hp, but nowhere near that rear wheel hp...I'd say your around 325-330 rwhp as of now...

You should read around this forum before you started modding and purchasing things. You have fallen victim to SLP's ridiculous hp claims on their products. You should've just bought a lid and the loudmouth from SLP, then got a FTRA or SSRA and not gotten the rockers, MAF, handheld tuner or the bellows then the money you saved you could've put towards Pacesetter LT's and ORY.

Ever hear of a nice big rear, high rpm launch, suspension work, and DR's.?

Or if it's an A4, huge stall converter, big rear, high rpm launch, suspension work, and DR's once again.

Not saying thats what he has, but it could be done with those and bolt ons. I went 12.9 on street tires with 298 horsepower. Do you really think it takes 400 horse to run around 12.?

Driver's race:
1)C5 'Vette (LS1)
2)lightly modded f-body
3)'05 GTO
4)Hyundai Elantra GT
5)Dodge SRT8 powered vehicles

You WILL win against:
1)'04 GTO
2)Any non-supercharged Mustang
3)LT1 powered 'Vette or f-body
4)SRT4 Neon
5)Evo,WRX,
6)Anything with Honda or Acura on the hood including the new TL.
Basically, if you swap your engine with a Hyundai Elantra GT engine, you'll easily get in the 9 second range

If you check his cardomain page, he has alot of suspension work done for that manual to hook better. Heck I only have 313rwhp and I'm close to 11s as well with stock suspension but it's an auto

Obviously not. The guy can just row simple as that. Dyno #'s dont mean crap, its 1/4 that do. If you can find a stock 03/04 cobra you *might* hang with them, but unlikely you will find one. What you should really do as your next mod is some DR's.

No, it doesnt. I stated above, I'm running 12's with 298 horsepower, and I dont have near the suspension work that guy has. It does not take over 400 horse to run 11.9, simple as that. Dyno #'s dont mean **** at the track, that's all there is to it. No one is being a dick, you are just making false statements and assuming you have and will have much more HP than you really will. We're just trying to help, thats all. BTW, I'd search and do some research before investing that much money in SLP headers, just so ya know.

my 86 mustang stock doesnt even make 200 hp, and with exhaust and gear i was doing 13s on street tires.

hell my probe makes 164hp and probably like 120-130 at the wheels and that little bitch did 14s.

its not always power that makes you go fast, its how you plant thqt power to the ground.

slp is a huge rip off (50 bucksfor a 3inch x 3inch piece of hose)

Easy man, no one is out to get you. Everyone is just saying with thoses mods you could win against 50 percent of the races you encounter. Be prepared too have your *** handed to you every once and a while. And the big thing with your mods as with any other vendor besides SLP the power you gain is said as " gains up to". You know power to weight has alot to do with how fast your car is. Try some weight reduction or hell just throw in a cam!
