Anyways all told, the op has an easy win if he can drive. 1-2 cars if he launches well and powershifts.
I agree with you. I had a 97 cobra with a k&n drop in, offroad h, flows and 4.10s (less mods than the op is going to have since he's getting a tune) and i ran even with an 02 firehawk trans am twice. it was auto as well. I do believe the 01 cobras are slightly faster than 97s? I also believe that firehawks are faster than regular z28s? correct me if i'm wrong....
