Thats why few gusy asked his other mods. I have friends with 2V and they are slow unless have a lot of work. Hell buddy has one that is a American Iron car fully built N/A and only put down 302whp.

Lol at the person who commented on my Youtube video accusing me of stealing the hit and calling it typical LSx bullshit. That's called leaving in the powerband + dead hooking vs him spooling and spinning. ******* idiots.

Cobras weigh ~400 lbs more than a gt I believe. I had 3 people in the car to his 1. The car runs as it should.

The car made 411 on one dyno and 390 on another before a FAST and a retune. Made 405 with those. Through a 9 inch.

So what you guys are telling me is. A 2v boosted mustang is faster than boosted 4v mach and 03/04 cobra's with bolt-ons?
I would think a 2v'er would need boost to keep up with either of them.

Who said a boosted 2v is faster than a boosted 4v mach or a 03/04 cobra with bolt ons? Where do you come up with half the **** you say? ****, you are a moron.

Little ol' 2 valve running hard.

No, an LS6 cam would have done much worse.

OP you really need to put a little more effort into your lame post. You purposefully try to incite arguments and then claim that people are ls nutswingers when it's YOU who are the nutswinger who's in here trolling for a argument and excuse to rip on the members of this site.

Without telling us anything at all other then showing some crappy videos then waiting to inflame an argument is trolling, period. You could have avoided this, and you know it, by just telling us pertinent information like that there was 3 people in the fbody versus 1 in the stang for 1. hell, telling us what year cars involved, what size cam, how much rwhp, etc. and even, oh my gosh, telling us what car is doing the filming in the first vid and who actually won when we cant see anything!

Just throwing videos out there and trying to get into a argument is trolling pure and simple. Lucky I aint a mod, because I'd give you one strike towards a ban for that kind of crap.

Im trolling because I knew jack **** about the Mustangs mods, listed mine and then laughed when people made assumptions without knowing anything? I didn't know anything about the Mustang until the owner posted on the local forum a few hours ago.
honestly I didn't realize I wasn't more specific with my mods because I copied and pasted this from my local forum.

I sure did. According to these guys a 2v will make as much or more power than a 4v. Most 03/04 cobra's need 12-14 lbs to get to 450rwhp +/-. 03turbomach's car made 433 on 8lb's. Now a 2v can make 475 on 9lb's.....somethings not right or something's not being told.

Maybe an 03/04 Cobra with the stock blower will make that much power with 12-14 psi, but a properly sized turbo is a different story. You can't just state X amount of boost will/should make XXX amount of power without knowing the specific setup and size of the blower/turbo, etc.

Thanks. Can't remember if I mentioned this earlier or not but he's going to turn the boost up and I'll be spraying so look for rematch videos. Will have videos of me vs a k20 crx up later tonight.

It should get ya close working off lbs. I don't think a 2v should make the same power as a 4v with the same amount of boost in any set-up. Unless the 2v had alot of head work done. Especially given the same cylinder size.
