i dont think you guys understand, b303 with boost is worthless most of the time, some people switch back to stock cams and gain power. about the only reason to use a b on a boosted motor is if its already in and you dont feel like taking it out. and omega, paying for an aftermarket aluminum head that only flows 10% better(AT MOST) than what you started with = VERY POOR CHOICE, especially considering the huge selection of aftermarket heads available for a sbf.
Hell the GT40P heads will get you into the low 12's at worst! 
ok ok I'll stop

Man you're wasting your time. I didn't even feel like getting into 5.0 tech on this site so I kept my mouth shut here... I do think its funny these guys think the GT40X heads are good though. Hell the GT40P heads will get you into the low 12's at worst! ok ok I'll stop

Well the LT1 won because its an Fbody and quite frankly Fbody are the greatest invention since sliced bread!! HAHA
I had a 5.0 and it wasn't the heavy SN95 body style either, it was a Fox. It was a good car but it could not keep up with a Fbody for nothing. I always heard that the E303 was actually a better cam for FI than any other, at least that is what a couple of builders told me.
And as far as the GT40X's go, the E7's are a WAY better head, especially when you get some port work done to them.
Just as in the Fbody world, the Ford Racing stuff was proven back in the day, but now there is way better stuff out there.
Sorry for the long post but here's a little story. Friend of mine has a 95 331 Stroker with Ford Racing GT40X's, an F cam (i think) with bolt ons. He was spraying a 150 shot and only ran a 13.1 compared to my 12.66 when we were both on MT ET Street Radials. Couple of weeks ago, he replaced the GT40's with AFR185's and a Comp "off the shelf grind" cam. After some awesome dyno tuning, we went out and ran em.
Me on a 150 shot and him all motor he pulled 1 to 1.5 cars on me. Those heads and that different cam WOKE THAT CAR UP.
I'm not saying that the OP beat the Cobra because the car had a horrbile choice on parts, but that car would have probably easily been a low 13 sec to high 12 sec car and the LT1 was just a faster car.
Great kill!

But the point he's (Omega) is trying to make regardless of the poor choices the 5.0 owner chose, the car was still a heads/cam/supercharged car. So, just because the OP is a "cam only" LT1 and beat the H/C/I S-charged car, why down play the kill because of the cobra's poor choices for his/her setup? We all know anything and everything can happen on the street but on paper have a different out come.

Can you imagine what the F-body guys would say if a H/C/I 5.0 said he destroyed a CAM ONLY LT1 then come to find out the LT1's cam was out of a 97 Blazer? Then the Mustang guys said "WELP fact is he still swaped out the cam!!!"
I tell you what, my car is a H/C/I + boosted car ONLY...find a LT1 that has the same mods as the OPer and I'll show you what a good combination will do for the 5.0! Hell I never said this wasn't a good kill I'm just pointing out FACTS. If you don't like it move on!

That's a little far fetched bro. The 5.0 had aftermarket parts, just not the most wise as you guys say.
