With a good tune, a full PI headswapped car with all the bolt-ons that I have, but LTs instead of shorties would make ~280-290rwhp... that ain't to shabby. And Flash, it still wouldn't be "fast," but more than enough to give an LS1 a helluva run. I had a PI intake and PI cams in my old '98 GT, and it made a WORLD of difference. ~40rwhp increase at redline, and ~30-35rwhp peak increase. Just never got around to the headswap

True, but in a situation like I was in with my '98, it's a no-brainer to do those mods. I had the famous cracked intake manifold problem, and ended up blowing my headgaskets. I also had the EXTREME luck to pick up one PI head, both PI cams, and the intake manifold for $150 SHIPPED off an online buddy up in MD, so I went ahead and did the cams and intake manifold when I changed the gaskets. Unfortunately I just didn't have the money to buy another head.

GM still should of had a reason to keep making camaros/T/A's. The 99 and 01 cobra's seemed to run pretty damn well to me. That's the only race I haven't won yet against an 01 cobra, we were neck and neck through the first 3 gears. He had atleast exhaust and I am stock, but put him up against a 2.73 auto ls1 and he wins.

99 and 01 cobras were no joke, but still no 03 cobra.

The 99 GT was "capable" of 13.8-14.0 in the 1/4 mile with a good launch and good driving. Which is enough to tangle with stock LT-1's and the slower badly driven LS1 cars. 99- 01 Cobra's with bolt ons run high 12's pretty easy if and only if you can drive around the lack of low end torque. (higher rpm launch). Mine really woke up with a C&L intake and MAF, Bassani LT's and X, underdrive pullies and a Borla race catback. Never lost to any F-body which is more an example of them not knowing there car as well as I knew mine.

On another note I still am a sucker for the LT-4 SS, never had a chance to run one but driving one put a perma grin on my face

I'm curious as to what my car would run at the track once I get some new tires. I haven't taken it to the track yet, but the 2 Ls1's that I have ran on the street I pulled both of them and I'm stock.

Yeah the 99 and 01 Cobras aren't that bad. My best friend (he's Kingsnake99 on here) has a 99 Cobra with 4.10's, cams, ported tb, Ford racing clutch and flywheel, and his car is most definately not slow. A guy around here has a 99 or so GT that runs 13 flat in the 1/4 and Kingsnake99 took him by a few cars. The only real race he's lost so far is to a supercharged GTO.

Mine didn't have the low end of the Mach 1's but was a beast from a roll!

I was close to doing the next stage which would have been FI or 4.10's and FR500 cams/upper intake, but my dream girl came along!

I'm pretty sure no mustang was 2.73 geared after the foxes, 3.08s were base.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. I KNOW that the pre-98 SN95s had 3.08s, but for some reason I still group them in in with the foxes

O rly? Do a search under my screen name in the video section. At the time the car only made 304rwhp. People don't understand that if you have traction you can level the playing field in a lot of situations. -Mark

Traction is a great equalizer especially on the street, thats why I really hate racing from a dig

And RWHP means absolutely nothing unless you have a Supra. Just because you have XXX RWHP doesn't mean that you can automatically beat a car with XXX RWHP. Heck I would be scared of my Cobra with 4.10's and DR's off the line in my C5!
