Cams for your cobra are not worth it. Yes they are nice but way to expensive for the gains you will get. If you save like 1.5k more you'll have a blower.
If you want to be able to beat/run w/ your buddy then you WILL need some gears most likely 4.56's (dont think 4.30's will get it done)
Drag radials.
Full Exhaust.
Basically all the bolt ons.
I don't have a problem w/ stock ls1's, but I know that cammed ls1's (especially the right cam) aint no joke! Cammed ls1's don't play.
check my mods, i run dead even (1000ft.) with a buddies 02 LS1, hooker midpipe and mufflers, and a programmer. Its a little diffrent story when he uses the 150 shot though. That is untill I get the procharger.
A stroker? If you've got that kind of money then you might as well get a supercharger kit IMHO.
I wouldn't bother with cams either, the bang-for-the-buck factor isn't favorable due to the high cost. However, combining the proper cams & a power adder can make for a beast.
Nickel-diming with all of the various
bolt-ons should make you pretty competitive against your buddy. Gears, exhaust, timing adjuster, underdrive pullies, and a good set of tires should go a long ways however you will probably still come up short.
The cheapest way to beat him is to use some juice.
