98 cobras ARE faster than 96/97. The different returnless fuel system mandated a new computer parameters. Also they used a different butterfly (whatever the hell they call those things in the intake). That was coupled with a higher velocity smaller ports (not by that much) in the heads for better low end torque.
In an issue in MM&FF, supperfly a 97 was pitted against a 98 both with similar gearing and on slicks. Supperfly had ported heads, Sean Hylander cams, the butterfly eliminator, and a few other more than the 98. The 98 was naerly stock except a full exhaust.
Supperfly lost in that confrontation. The 98 had about1.5-2mph more tham supperfly.
