well yah if he had a bad piston... that car > ls1 (with good pidtons, lol)5.0man said:one of my friend has a 98 with vortech, 42# injectors, power pipe, cold air, gears, shifter, 2.5 in exhaust with h-pipe. With 2 people in the stag and one in the t/a. The t/a stayed 1 car ahead of us. After he got it tuned we started the pi head swap and found a nice size piece of piston missing. So he sold his s/c and his stang is waitin for a DSS 5.0 modular motor. So its just sitting there collecting dust. Oh well. When he had it dynoed and tunded he made 305hp at the wheels.

I second that.....nothing is sweeter than seeing the look of disgust on a 50 year old guy as you pull away from him in a 12 year old car :thumb: There's so many of them around here,you could throw a rock,and hit 3.
I was gettin pestered last week on the way home and this local guy with a 05, wouldn't get off my ass(which I can't stand having done to me), so I down shifted into 3rd and roasted the tires.......all over his POS

I never got to run one when I first got mine back in Febuary when it was stock ( it was only stock for a week before all my current bolt-ons went on, except for the JLT) but any way I have run a handfull since then. I have lost once to a 01 SS ( friends car) his only bolt-ons is exhaust and a 75 shot ( auto also), I can pull him by a car or two if he doesnt spray but with the nos hes got me by a few. Other than that, I guess Ive been lucky not to run into any that have serious mods because thats the only loss I have to date :dunno:
one side note, Im going by what he said as far as the nos being only a 75 it could be more I dont know, the only thing I can tell you is that he gets me at the top of second and pulls pretty steady to a 2 or 3 car lead. Off the nos, I dont pull him quite as bad but its just as steady just not as many lengths between, maybe two tops.

I don't want to talk any trash or be rude especially considering im the new kid on the block here, but an lt1 also has a lot of balls, maybe not as much as an ls1, but not way far off. A stock sn95 gt mustang would need more then just some bolt ons and 3:73's to take an lt1 car down. How do I know? I've had both, can you say the same? I had a 94 lt1 z28 camaro with t tops. Stock except for a hood and flow master exhaust. My mustang has 4:10's a short throw, mac mufflers, a k&n filter, and a coil, and my old z28 would give it a hurting. In first and maybe half way through second the mustang would get the jump, but then after that the z28 would go right by. Your a mustang guy, and I'm sorta both a camaro and a mustang guy( I just dislike imports). From the factory lt1's and ls1's were down right mean motors. The gt mustangs just couldn't come anywhere close until 03-04 cobra's came out which would beat an ls1 and beat a lt1 by even more. However as we all know camaros stopped production in 02. So please no biased information, it does nothing for anyone, but get their hopes up and then have them crushed.

However the point of my post is, its going to take more then bolt on mods and 373's on his 94 cobra to even keep up with a lt1. That was my point.

that may be true in the case of a 94...........but as far as mine goes I KNOW MY CAR IS A LOW 12 SECOND CAR, I sold my 91 two years ago, to a good bud of mine, it had full boltons with heads and E303 cam and ran 12.30's on a regular basis on BFG Dr's. Right after I got my current mods on the corba he just could not wait to line them up to see if my high dollar car could hang with the 15 year old fox that I decided " I was tired of driving :" needless to say he has not asked to line up anymore :ass3:. Anyway after that long trip down memory lane, I honestly have full confidence that A STOCK Ls1 car is no problem for me to out perform, with the 430's I'm running and the fact that I only use 295 18inch DR's my car jumps out of the hole VERY quick and pulls like crazy up to around 6400rpm and eats my 91 like birthday cake. I'm not trying to start a E argument ( we don't have those on this site olice but I'm going to defend what I believe and KNOW to be true. 8)
hey if you have a stock LS1 and your in the eastern NC area, I'd be glad to show you what I mean :banana:

I don't really so much doubt you since you are a very nice guy, but when you add it up it doesn't figure out. You haven't had your car dyno'd have you? If I knew how much horsepower your car was putting to the ground and how well it really has responded to the mods you have done then I could understand a bit better, however being as I don't have too many mods done to my car, i'm not sure how it will really respond to mods. My good friend has a 94 cobra that puts down over 300 to the wheels, but he has a lot done to his car. This is a list I got from his car teams website.
