Some bolt ons would do it if it's a strong running LT1. Not sure what the cobra runs but it's no 03/04 model.
Edit: I know it's motor trend but it'll give you some idea.

i read that article probably 10 times but havnt in a couple years...is the CR on the LS1 really just 10.1:1? i thought it was 10.8? and isnt the gas tank capacity 15.5 gallons not 16.8? and it only dynoed 260 at the wheels...i thought they normally put around 300?

What do you run? Gears are probably a bigger seat of the pants gain than your et would show.
Run em, see what happens. If ya get beat you can do one of two things.
1: Pull out the old master card and mod some more
2: Realize there is always someone faster and take it in stride

The pre-blower Cobra's usually run right around stock LT-1 times. They really wake up with a set of gears, exhaust, and air intake. Then they can get into the high 12's around 105-108. A stock n/a DOHC 4.6 makes crappy low end torque, so adding at least 4.10 gears really helps them get into their powerband.

yeah, i wouldnt mess w/ an 03/04 cobra unless you have some pretty extensive mods. those cars w/ only an upgraded pully, exhaust and on a good tire will hit 11's no problem.
other then that though you should be able to take a normal N/A cobra

1998 had a 15.5 gal tank, 99-02 has a 16.8 gal tank
average dyno for a 98 is 285-300, average dyno for 99-02 is 295-320ish
