I think my mother's '99 Cobra convertable pulled a 12.8 with the following modifications:

IRS swapped for a 8.8 live rear with 4.10's
Full-length BBK headers
High flow BBK cat H-pipe
Flowmaster exhaust
Larger MAF w/K&N
Under drive pullies
BBK throttle body (later taken off because it greatly reduces driveability)

I think that was it...hopefully Craig will chime in. He was the actual person to do most of the work and drive the car to get those times.

BBK has known issues with their TBs.. butterfly doesn't open/close properly, sticks from what I remember.

1. make sure it had the recall work done.

2. Just put some 430s in the rear and call it a day.
