tireburner - the non-intercooled 6-8 psi Vortech kit for 99+ GT's puts them at around 400 flywheel hp on an otherwise stock motor (140 hp gain), so it's not too hard too believe that an otherwise stock Cobra motor could make that much with a mild blower and an intercooler.
naterox14 - are you planning on drag racing the car with slicks? If so the IRS will give you problems with that much power and you may want to do a live-axle swap. If you've got the cash, I'd get a T56 6-speed, a beefy clutch, and an aluminum driveshaft to go along with it. If you are just going to be driving it on street tires your stock drivetrain should be ok as the limited traction will protect it.
