Depends on how good a Driver you are. 4.10's should get you low 12's at least with decent tires and n/a.... I would think. I don't know how much a 100 shot would give you. Hopefully some of the Nitrous guys will chime in.

Say BUH BYEEE to the little cobra. He won't even hardly see your tail lights! I've eaten an '01 GTS viper w/exhaust and headers alive. I've got 3.90's basic bolt ons and a 100shot. You should see 115-119 mph depending on tire setup and how ya drive. I went 11.75 on the 100 shot at 117.96 w/a 1.72 60ft. on dr's. Looks like you're sitting pretty close to the same mods. I've got a 99frc. Have fun killin that rustang!

I run those 425rwhp modded cobras all the time, they hit 12.2-12.4 with an occasional 12.1 (on ET streets). The intake and nos shot should put you about even. The 4.10s, a decent set of tires, and a decent launch should get you real close to 11s if not in them, and right on by those Cobras. Eat'em up!
