98 Cobra stock ET?

DRASTiK · 11-20-2001, 12:47 PM

I have a buddy that just bought a 5-speed 98 Cobra that's completely stock. I was just wondering about what ET's they run from the factory? He's going to start buying parts for it soon, but there's no track where he lives, so I was just trying to get a rough estimate of a starting point for him. He's a good driver and isn't new to mustangs.

Also, what size MAF and throttle body came in these cars? What other changes were made in them? Just lookin for a little basic info to get him started. Thanks

depending on track conditions, traction, weather, and driver, they've been seen to run as fast as mid 13's, but most are in the low 14's

those cars absolutely crave a lot of gear, if i had one, i would not go any higher(lower numerically) than a 4.10, maybe even a 4.30 if i wasnt doin much highway driving

i've also seen magazine's dyno testing after exhaust and thats another GREAT increase in power, off road h or x-pipe and catback

not sure about the size MAF or TB, but i dont think they are nearly as restrictive as a 5.0, could be wrong though

hope this helps some, later
