Hello everyone, yes Im a noob, but not here to start any trouble, just want learn a little about LS1s and there setups.
As far as the thread, I dont think he meant any harm by lying to you guys, Im guessing he just wanted to have a little fun with you guys, otherwise he wouldn't have posted links to his youtube and a pic of his engine. BUT he did seem to come across a bit cocky as the thread went on. Also, as far as the Eaton swap, it HIGHLY unlikely that only $1500 was spent on it, possible maybe, but highly unlikely, even if he did it all himself, which is still up in the air with all the back and forth about him doing it and then later saying it was purchased this way. As far as his power, there's no doubt in my mind that car can put down 460whp at 17* timing and full exhaust.
BTW, Ponygt65, his username is N47WTF, seems like a relatively new member.

thanks for the heads up.
Edit: I just found the post where Korey stated he had about $1700 into his. Even at a guess without keeping track it was more than $1500 that mongoose was claiming.

HOw's it goin? THere are a fair amount of good members in here. OF course there's the usual stangs suck and the owners are lame stuff, but over all we get along pretty well. As long as people don't get too ignorant, arrogant to stupid in their claims.
thanks for the heads up.

What about the fact a 4.6 needs a supercharger to keep up with a 5.7 N/A.
Same with 5.0's without some sort of power adder. They can't hang.
Closest competition to my car from Ford is a GT500 right? They can't hang without serious mods.
What does Ford have for the ZR1? A Ford GT.. again.. needs mods to match the showroom stock bowtie not to mention cost $50k more.
Just thought I'd stir the pot..
Make any excuses you want the Corvette gets no special graces when it is pitted against an 8.3 liter Viper. You do not see magazines giving the Corvette any slack saying.. well to make it fair we will add nitrous or a SC to the z06 7.0 liter.

The difference is, you can take a 100% oem 5.0 and stick a $1200 S-Trim kit on it and make more RWHP and RWTQ than anything you can throw on a stock bottom end LS1.
A few years ago, I built a super mild and cheap OEM block 306 ( stock crank and rods with a $250 set of pistons ), TFS heads and intake, and a 500/510 218/226 114 Lunati cam and it belted out 622 RWHP on a Mustang dyno for 3 years straight. Ran 9.92 best ET and ran a best MPH of 143. This was on a 26x10 and with a 5 speed.

dude my 4.6 has the weakest blower and least amount of boost and drug plenty of 5.7s and your 6.2 with cam and longtubes was only 2 cars out in front and i know mine was 1/4 of the price
Ok sorry 1700. Korey built this car like I said above. The previous owner did all the work himself. I just happened to get the car at a very nice price so why by a stock one for the same money and have to spend more to get to where this one was already for just a short drive back home is all it cost me extra

What does your car being 1/4 the price have to do with anything? My ls1 z28 that cost $13k sure that was a budget build.. cheapest headers that still performed, used cam, etc.
I didn't buy an LS3 for a "budget build". Good for you as far as the budget but that was not my goal. If it was I'd of bought a used c5 z06 with a blower already making 600+rwhp.
