1/4 mile for mod 98 cobra

[tama]

I new here, but I jus bought my 98 last january and after a few runs at the local strip i was able to get to 14.1, my first time i ran it was an ugly 14.7.
anyway that time was back in may and through august-october have made all the bolt on and suspension changes. I dynoed at 285rwhp and 284rwtq. Now that it is raining consitently here it will be a while before i go back to the track but i'm curious to know what kind of 1/4mile number I can expect.

Should be good for a low to mid 13...get some good traction and 13.1-13.2 should be able to be gotten...I ran a 13.11 before my long tubes with 292hp/272tq...

Thanks for giving me an estimated guess. I knew somewhere in the 13's but when the wheather clears up i'll have to go back and see where i'll be officialy.

But I have another question. It's been recommended to me to change the cam, add a custom burned chip, then have it dyno tuned. I'm told I'll see anywhere between 30-40 rwhp improvement. Is this true and if it is, is worth doing. If so, it'll be my last step before going for vortech sc.

Tama,

What mods have you done so far?? I like the fact that your tq is the same as your hp.

Fms Short Headers, Bassanie X-pipe W/cats,2 Chamber Flows,asp Underdrive Pullies,bbk Cold Air Intake, 3:73,msd Spark Plug Wires. I Don't Think Anything Else I've Done Would Add Power So That's It For Know, But Thinking Of Trading In 3:73 For 4:10 And Plus The Cam If It's A Smart Move.

Purty nice #'s for those mods. Ditch the 3.73's and go with the 4.10's, thats what 99.9% of stangnet would tell you.

And Plus The Cam If It's A Smart Move.

CAMS plural...we have 4

Best quote i got so far was for 2,000.00 for parts and labor. Is this a good deal?
