That actually makes LS1s look better. Poor Ford guys:
Owners of LS1-powered GM cars have become boastful braggarts these days and rightfully so. Even in naturally aspirated form, these engines are terrors from the factory and adding a head and cam package can easily send them to the 500hp mark with the simple turn of a ratchet. You can't do that with any stock small-block Ford, so most of us depend on forced induction to get the job done.

That buildup looks like it would be HELLA expensive for mr joe average to afford. all that to kill an ls1 with headers\cam. so sad.
Headers for ls1: 400-600 bux
Cam for ls1: roughly the same. possibly 250-400
That mustang buildup. EASILY 10k. I've never seen or heard of ANY place that will balance and blueprint before. i couldnt immagine it being cheap.

These Ford guys are beggining to sound like ricer's. "Let me get my supercharger and do a total rebuild on my motor and sink about $10gs in my car then will race." My reaction to that is "well let me put a blower on a sink $10gs in my car to. You know that's only fair." Then you will get this reaction 
and "well well huh I don't know" What's the saying. Theres no replacement for displacement.

There are some good one's, but the majority of them think like this. Lemme build up a ZL-1 clone, slap some turbo's pushin the same boost as that car, then we'll talk about who's got a real engine
And it doesn't take $10k to build up a 302 based block that can outrun *most* LS1s. I know.

I just don't compare FI cars with NA cars. Apples to oranges. But the fact that our engines don't need FI to beet a FI SBF I say to MM&FF... How you like dem apples?
