Get the LS1 and don't look back, cause you'll just see the mustangs behind you
Seriously Mustangs are nice too but the LSX engines are great!

A nice after market set of heads, and a nice cam and they move out well!

Meh, all I bought was an engine and a tranny and some suspension. The company had made hundreds of hte motors and said I should run low 13's. Screw me for beliving a company that had been around for a quarter of a century

Yeah, I still dispise the old 5.0, lol, but it is a FUN car and it makes power up to 6K and keeps on making it! insane! its like a little 4-banger, lol.

In all honesty, the mustang was okay for what it is, the LS1 is just better across the board. (except for the rear end).

Hell, my car went 14.3@97.54 with a 2.15 and I had heads (GT40P), Cam (X303), 4.10's and FULL bolt-ons with a 5-speed. Mustangs arent cool NA. (not the 2V variety at least).
