When mine was bone stock I got it to run a 13.93 before the fix. After the horse fix and with steeda springs my best was a 13.495@105.1 mph. I consistantly ran 13.6's and 13.7's. After mufflers and an H pipe 13.3's all day at 107!
Good Luck

3.73's wont do jack shit for you. You need at least 4.10's and 4.30's preferably for decent times at the track.

I have seen stock 99 cobras run 14.4 with nothing but mufflers, and I have seen TOO many of the same cars with 4.10's run way slower the same days at the track.
