Just run those gears out and don't let him get a jump on you, RPM is where you make the most power so use it all and you should get him. I ran a lot of cars in my 96 and it was quick. I get away first and like they say, the chase is the race.

It's time for the country to do what Obama's own father did.
Abandon him.

I had a mostly stock motor, it was rebuilt with H beam rods and forged pistons but everything else was stock. I did have a cold air intake, long tubes, exhaust and 4.10's. I would run it right up to high 6 to low 7K. Take your car out and do a few runs with it, run out your gears till you find the RPM where it starts falling off and then you'll know exactly where to shift to keep in your power band.

if you're a good driver, you can take him from a dig or a slow roll from 10-15mph. once you get pass 95-100pmh, he'll catch up quick to you. from a 50-60mph roll, he'll eat you up.

Never underestimate LS-based motors. You're talking 310-325 stock pre-LS6 intake and maybe a 6th speed.
EDIT: If it's from a roll you're toast!

Yea he wants to do a slow roll, prolly 15mph and I believe I got better tires than him so maybe I can pull on him early
How much low end do these LS motors got stock?

Depending on how bald your tires are with 4.30 gears you still could spin from a slow roll. But the gears is the only advantage you have. So your best chance is from a dig. I just hope you can hook. Good luck.

those gears ain"t gonna make a bit of difference really, The Ls1 has a shitload more power and torque then a 97 cobra. If anything, from a roll those gears are gonna slow you down. I got the ls1 to pull 3 cars on the cobra..
