Just ordered a Pi Head swap kit for my 98 GT. I couldn't decide wether to sell it and find an older Cobra, or buy a newer GT, but I hated to sell the 98' cause it's in such nice shape, so I thought I'd put some more ponies in the correl.
I'm suprized to hear that, as I thought the Cobras would have been much faster.Good to know, that cheers me up I'm just hoping I don't have to get a tune after, as there is nowhere around here to get it done.Red2000GT said:Cool,you'll be really close to an older Cobra's output with the swap any ways.
Holy Crappers!!! Where'd this thread come from? I thought all this old stuff was wiped out after the StangNet crash?TweekedGT said:Damn, this is one old thread you guys revived!

just some more info on the 96-98 cobras..
they make 305 hp but the power band is REALLY steep, wich is good for road racing etc.. but they are not good drag cars..
a couple yrs ago i saw 2 of them running as slow as 15.8-16.2 at SIR the same day my bone stock auto 96 GT was first at the track running 15.4..
granted that was probably bad drivers, but the general consensus i have seen is a well driven stock 99-04 GT can run about even with them.. and considering a heaswapped car will have a touch more power than said GT's.. there you go.
but the upside to the cobras funny powerband, is with a set of gears they get ALOT faster.. 4.30s and helloooooooooo
