oh ok, thanks for the info, so judging by that facts it's almost impossible for a bolt ons 96 gt (the one that op raced) to hang with (let alone beat) an ls1 fbody right?

 

Never heard or seen of a 2v make 280 with bolt ons. When mine was full bolt ons, no cats, and of coarse tuned and only made 271rwhp. Most make in the 260s with heads/cams getting 300ish. The 2v are basically a joke na and usually a waste of time and money without fi.

 

To the OP he had more than he was letting on. Good death!

Not a chance in hell a non PI car with stock heads and intake would do 260 with bolt ons ( unless you consider an S trim a bolt on, lol)

Id like to see it too.

Exactly.

 

This thread runneth over with blue-bloods...

 

A blue blooded LT1 owner

 

Blue bloods siding with Chevy owners. I think hell just froze over.

 

Stangs look nice and run best with an LSX power plant.

Thats one hell of a bolt on too.

 

With what, a ~3000 lb raceweight?

 

Holy crap what rock did you crawl out from under...Member since 04' with 18 posts? Go back under the rock No LSX boat anchor in the Mustang.

OP the guy was. He had some power adder or a built 4V.

 

I made 293 with bolt ons in my 02 GT.

 

I DON'T have a link but since you said you would take hearsay here it is. A buddy of mine in Hawaii had a 98 GT. He made 271 with FULL bolt ons- LT's, O/R X, Magnapacs, RWTD tune, JLT RAI, UDP, 3.90's- he had also just changed all the fluids, cleaned the Air Filter and changed the plugs- not sure if that had anything to do with it. It was relatively cool too- about 85 degrees or so- low humidity..... and yes, we were all pretty surprised- but this was on a dyno day 3 years ago on Fathers day. I'll dig around and see if I still have the clip.

 

Just asking but did the both of you get on the dyno at the same shop?

 

With all of these freakishly high bolt on numbers some of you guys are sounding alot like the ls1 crowd and their "freak" ls1s. Sure one can make alittle over the next but you guys are way above anything normal.

I can't remember even seeing or hearing about one at 275 much less the numbers we're hearing now. Perhaps these were on friendly dynos

 

I dont feel as bad now after hearing all this.Hell i really shouldnt have felt bad anyways.with as much money and time as he had tied up in that car its really kinda sad he only pulled 1.5-2 cars on me in my pretty much stock car.o well,gives me some motivation to get the headers,intake,lid,MAF,and tune in then ill have to hunt him down again

 

Yes...I went about 5 cars after he did.

 

you should feel bad dude!

you should hang with him if not beat him...

 

**EDIT**
He also had 30# injectors, upgraded MAF and throttle body, as well as an electric water pump.

Like I said none of us expected that at all.

I dyno'd on the same day @ 298 RWHP and 311 RWTQ with Bassani O/R X-pipe, Cherry bomb mufflers, K&N FIPK, SCT livewire with Amazon Tune.

 

Those had to be STD or self corrected numbers, and/or an uncaliberated Dyno.

Come on man..you know me....well, you know what I mean. I call it like I see it regardless, and that is just BS. those dyno days are typically out to get customers....high dyno numbers = more customers. NOt saying all shops do this, but they are factors for some.

The mere fact that your 02 GT put down what a mach does with those mods should tell you something. IN fact, those are good numbers even for a Mach with those mods. Let's at least TRY to think realistically here.

 

I realize this but i dont think he should have pulled the way he did.i mean we were door to door in first and second and when he hits third he just pulls off.kinnda wierd.ive ridden in a couple bolt on mach 1s and my bro used to have a 98 cobra with cai and 3.73's and mustangs just dont pull that hard above 100mph like he did.theres no way he wasnt spraying or was bsing about being non p.i.i figured he would have the advantage in first and second then i would make up some groud in third ands fourth but that car didnt really seem to wake up until third

 

and it had cams.not just bolt ons.also tuned my modular performance,in alabama i think
