I know...thats REALLY healthy for a street driven car. The best part is you can buy truck motors and everything and get the same results or better. Also the price of LS1s has really really dropped as of late. This is the new SBC of hot rodding....I know..its a SBC......haha...

I jsut love the fact that UNLIKE a built 500hp SBC(or any other built v8..really)....you can drive to the track with a/c......throw down 10 second passes....then drive home getting 20mpg+

 

500 hp sbc with 750 dp will get u 9-10 mpg if ur lucky

 

they both have the same SMILES per gallon though...all thign being equal..lol

 

He's not a dumbass he's just blind right now, he don't know the ls1 has been touched by the hand of god...

 

proffs in the puddin....ok well my sig at least

 

Well, technically anyone that is putting down 410-430 rwhp (depending on transmission, etc.) has a 500 hp car and plenty of them are getting 15-20 mpg on the highway.

Why can't you have TDs that go out the back in an F-body? Last time I looked mine do.

My opinion is that the 4.6 was a weird route to go by Ford. It's as big as a big block but w/o the power or displacement. Plus it is a hassle to mod compared to the older engines. Nothing about the new Mustangs draws much attention from me, I don't really care if they forge and throw a charger on them.

 

we have all that but in a much better car....... its called a corvette

 

yea and tell him about my car, 4000 stalled auto and still put down 390rwhp SAE. with just bolt on an a VERY mild 228/232 114 cam. thats almost as much as some six speed MS3/MS4 cars

 

Bolt ons, 233/239 112lsa cam, not exactly the most aggressive... and at 130k miles put down around 400hp give or take.

 

 

I don't have that great dyno #'s but my track results tell the tale.....that's all that matters to me at least I love the LS1-9.....awesome N/a engines...except for the ls9 (lookout Ford, here we come)

 

The simple answer to your question lies in the Dyno Results section as well as the 11-second and 12-second club sections. Check out the ridiculous number of LS1's ripping 11's in the quarter with only basic bolt-ons, a cam and a good tune!

I will also offer this disclaimer: I'm not an ignorant, or overly proud Chevy guy. I understand that my LS1 responds quite well to mods, however I also understand that a simple pulley swap on a '03- '04 Cobra results in a pretty nice gain at the wheels as well! Point in short is that there are several very nice high-performance cars out there that respond well to mods and the LS1 is certainly near the top of the list!

With only Pacesetter longtubes stock exhuast and stock intake and filter my car puts 327 to the wheels. Your friend needs a lesson

 

Impressive for a 98, regardless if it was a dynojet. (I assume)

 

hahahahahahaha

 

Ha what a dumass. Typical ignorance from a guu who hasn't done his homework.

 

Let me race your friend and after I put bus lenghts on him, that will show him
