all i have to say is give an ls1 a blower and see how even the race is.
also the REAL race comes when you have to tear down the motor. i'll leave the miles of timing chain, gaskets, chain guides, tensioners etc to the ford nut swingers. they can knock them selves out. OR have fun picking up the bill on labor

LS1 a blower" argument is stupid. Power is power, regardless of how
it's made.

You're wrong on a few points. 500rwhp with a stock un-ported Eaton isn't going to happen. The average for a pulley, exhaust, and a tune (you forgot a CAI) Cobra is 460rwhp. No one is making 500rwhp without a ported blower. It's just not going to happen.

What exactly is a cam only LS1 and do they really run 10's-12's?Basically if I put a cam in my car it might see 12's but never 10's. I just read about a cam only LS1 running with a pullied cobra and keeping up. I just don't see it happening. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. How can a cam give you so much power. Please let me know because I have a friend that say's our cars are a pos and that his 03' terminator is the **** and that with little $$$ he can get alot of power.

Going from what I have seen, My car doesn't make 500rwhp, I have seen more then a handful.Will I say every single one does that no, but I have seen it. My mark VIII with an 03 cobra swap makes 489hp and 487tq, My car has stock ported manifolds(only thing I can so, headers don't clear my subframe, billet flow specialties throttle body, custom x pipe and exhaust, JLT cold air and a 2.76 pulley with LFP heat exchange and a tune.

No, you're still ignorant at 21. You don't think you are, but trust me...you are. I remember what it's like being 21. I was ignorant too...I just didn't know it.
