Yeah about that, stick sucks up a little less power than an auto though.

I would say about 240 rwhp or so, always better to expect less...

Shouls run in the low 13s with traction!

It does. The 2003 cobra is referring to his polished wheels I believe. With the mods in your sig, I would also say somewhere in the ballpark of 240 or so to the wheels. I believe your stock heads(if I didn't miss anything) are holding you back with your combo. Add a decent set, and I would say closer to about 275 to the wheels. Just a guess though.

5.0GT is totally on the mark I'd guess. Stock heads for these engines are pretty crappy for breathing, so a swap to a higher-flow set would really open up your engine's potential. Not bad for a pair of bolt-ons.
