1994-1995 GT's and Cobras had the old 5.0 small block. 1996-1998 GT's had the non-PI 2V 4.6 (2 cams), and 1996-1998 Cobras had the 4V 4.6 (4 cams). New edge GT's had the PI 2V 4.6.

No way... I question 11's with a Fox body using stock iron heads(excluding TFS or Cleveland) on a stock bottom end. With the mods you listed, the odds are, it's pretty much inconceivable. With a blower on top of all that, probably. Even then, it's iffy. Stock 5L(OHV) heads, even stock GT40 iron heads... SUCK!

I figured you just had the years mixed up 
To anyone who was into these cars back in the mid-90's, what were people expecting from the new motor in 1996 (referring to the GT's, not the Cobras). Were they hoping for big improvements or did it go down as expected? I wasn't into cars back then so I don't remember, lol.

I remember how depressed I was seeing those 94-95 Cobras run mid 14s stock back in the day which were slower than the 93 Cobras
Cars main problems were the cam,ecm,lack of gear and some weight. You can go fast with cast iron GT40s heads and I think they are much better than the Gt40P crap heads.
I have to look for my dynos/runs but I went high 11s at 122-123 MPH on street radials with GT40 stuff with a 11PSI powerjunk blower(433 my tune-479 after a Larocca tune). Not bad for back then.

Good kill, there is one in my hood that has waxed me a few times, no stock block in that puppy,i had a 94 gt that ran pretty good, think the best i got out of it was high 12s, had alot of mods/boost but it was a fun car, back in the day 12s were rolling lmfao

I was so disappointed when the 4.6 debuted. No parts,no power,OBD2 which we thought was the end of the world,hard to work on and the car got expensive. Mean while the Fbodies got faster....and faster. 98GT vs 98 Z28 was an embarrassment. 99 got a tad more power but still way behind not mention the more powerful and expensive Cobra was slower too. The dark days for sure....from 93 and up

yeah i agree, i had a ton of money into my 4.6 and the damn thing just didnt move, then when i looked at the cost to really get it to fly vs buying a f body, i just went and got a ss , i was happy with my ss for 2 years stock just because of that turd 4.6, one ride i would love to build is a sn95 with a 03 cobra drivetrain, i loved the look of the 94,98 stangs.my ride looked great just ran like a taxi cab
