It is hard for me to say. I believe you could beat a stock cobra with traction if you are a good driver. I believe it would be a close race with a z06. Do you have a cai or anything else you are leaving out? You should get a 12 bolt or some suspension mods next then I say you will be ok.

congrats on the heads / cam. can't really say about the prediction though cause you never know what kinda power improvement your gonna get from a NON CNC head job. You will definately get a bump in power though and that cam is pretty healthy. good luck and enjoy...

It's going to be close. I'm not sure how many LT1's run with those mods so i can't determine. The Time in my sig was for a Bone Stock Cobra with just 555 Street Tires and 600 Miles on the clock.

Well, the cobras are fast, no doubt...my brother just bought a 2004 white convt. From my engine builter and a few of my friends with modded 350's and 383's, they say with the cam and mods I should see 115-118 trap speeds in the 1/4....I need to get new rubber and then I will dyno her....and this summer I will run her at the track to see what she is capable of....I know it's difficult to tell how she will compete against other 12 sec cars and the driver...well that is another story....

If you'll be trapping 115-118.. You'll beat a Stock Cobra. If the cobra has Basic Mods.. IE... Chip and Pulley.. He'll walk you. Most Chip and pulley Cobra's pull 120+

stock cobra shouldnt be a problem, a z06 will give you a good run

I doubt with just a PCM tune and pulley a new cobra will trap 120+mph. Maybe with full exhast, CAI, and a good driver.

There's guys with X pipes, CAI's and Catbacks, Pulleys and Chip reburn's pulling 122+Mph trap speeds. The majority of good drivers are over 120 with all those mods.

The majority with just a 2.8, CAI and Chip reburn are 118+

I have a Video of a Kenne Bell Cobra running 19Psi that Pulled 129Mph in the quarter mile. You're mistaken.. I'm right about this.. Trust me.

19lbs of boost on a stock bottom end is hard to believe

i think you may be close to the cobra and MAYBE if the planets align right you might pull a car. but as far as a z06 no way. the vette will trap 115-120 stock. ive see one trap 118 with just a good driver and drag slicks. and that cam is smaller than the hotcam as far as lift goes, it just has more duration. i dont see you trapping 118.
