32 valve cobra comes off the line with about 35 more horses than the Z stock. The mustang's gears are going to give it more of a edge then with the help of the intake and exhaust the mustang is going to be hard to take. It might be closser if the Z had gears or a large cam but if its only a hot cam or something like that its going to be hard to win. Traction could become a facter as well.

But, what's really funny about your post is that you think that it's going to be hard to win because "it's only a Hot Cam." I'm sure with blanket statements like the above, you've read about how great CC306s are, and this and that, when in fact these large cams are useless without supporting mods, which most people don't have.
An LT4 Hot Cam kit, complete with the LT4 heads/intake, will net 425 hp, according to GM,which is 150 hp over stock, and it will STILL net 20 mpg. These ratings are also considered without machine work.
Sorry, it's going to take that Mustanga little bit more than 4.10 gears, a fancy transmission, cold air intake, and exhaustto touch his car.

A stock 275 hp LT1 will run just as fast as a 1998 Cobra that is rated at 305 hp. As for the 1999 Cobras, they were recalled for "the fix" because they didn't make anywhere near their 305 hp rating.

here is also a dyno from someone claiming to have a stock lt4 from the gs registry
as for the mustangs, the 98s arent that fast, they suffer from a goofy power band. some of the early 99's had to get this fix u were talking about which was basically a reflash. This is because they didnt make the 320 they advertised. "Fixed" cobras were every bit as fast as they claimed, and the 4v motors respond well to mods.

my buddy has the complete lt4 conversion along with full boltons on his 97 ws.6. He put down 290 rwhp. the hot cams are just too small to make big power.Not sure where u got ur numbers either, because the 96 vette grandsport came with an lt4 and it was only rated at 330hp and 340 ft lbs. GM never rated these parts at 425.... http://www.grandsportregistry.com/lt1vslt4.htm

The LT4 Vette doesn't come with an LT4 "Hot Cam." It's a standard LT4 cam. Upgrade to a basic LT4 cam in an LT1 and you'll pick up about 10 hp if you're lucky. The LT4 "Hot Cam" is totally different from the cam found in the LT4 engine. Comprende? You wanna try reading my original post again?
As for your buddy's 290 rwhp car, it sure sucks to be him. An LT4 Hot Cam kit WITHOUT the LT4 heads/intake will net over 320 rwhp.
Ah, and one other thing. You may wanna take your own advice and try using a little tact, bud. We're not a Honda forum.

Once again you post without reading, hence the reason I refer to you as the circus monkey. Let's try again.

ur right though, i didnt catch the "hotcam" part and was assuming we were talking only about the basic lt4 conversion. ur numbers are still off. I guess that makes me a monkey and in no way makes you an angry little man
. u dont call me a circus monkey for my interpretations. you call me that when i call you out and u dont know what to say. So go ahead and say it again. Ill be dancing in the mean time. anyone seen my cymbals?
