Default 2000 Cammed SS vs 2012 5.0 (5.0's are beast)

Attachment 728014

So after 4 years of not really having my car on the road I finally got it up and running. There was a guy locally here with a bolt on 5.0 that wanted to line up and do some runs.
My car is a forged 347, FM14 cam and stock heads. 411RWHP with full suspension, Hoosier QTP's and a 175 shot (no nitrous in this video). Best time was a 11.4 @ 120 on stock suspension

The Mustang is a full exhaust (headers included) bolt on car with 20" rims and some decent street tires.


First video is us test launching and goofing off. The street was very cold so we both ended up with traction issues.

Second video was our best dig run. Me by 2.5 cars or so. I drove his 5.0 and to be honest... it'll be my next car. I believe I could easily get mid to high 11's with a tire @ 117-119 MPH. It pulls THAT hard with minimal mods. Plus the car feels insanely solid overall.


Enjoy the videos.





Disregard the video titles. My friend that uploaded them got them wrong.

Where are they going to fit in the line up?


Won't they be faster than the ZL1's?

Nice runs. The LS7 in the camaro would be great in on the alpha platform.

Pull some gear out.....I bet it will go faster. 3.90's n/a or 3.73 if your gonna spray. You should really be well over 120 n/a.

I was on a 26" tire when I ran those times on the stock suspension. Now I'm on a 27" tire and QA1's in the front with Eibach Drag launch springs and comp engineering shocks in the rear.

I will be stepping up to a 28" tire as well soon which I think will help with the gearing.
