LS1 vs 5.0
#124
Just skimming over the last few pages made me curious as to how quick those old sn 5.0's were. I didn't know they were that slow. The LT1 Camaro was almost a full second faster. Out of all the road tests I could find for 94/95 this is only one that made it into the 14s.

It's no secret those cars don't go very well on the top side.
Mike those times were in August heat when I ran the Impy. I think those times would be typical for a real stock sn95 5.0 in the heat and NO ice pack. Ice packing one to run a number is not stock.

Also look at the 5 -60 street start times. Look at how much that small of a roll killed the Mustang. When it can't utilize that low 1st gear from a dead stop a raping shortly ensues.
And just think....you guys are trying to compare it to a ls1

I'd rather compare a 95 to a LS6...

My dad had a low mileage 94 5.0..every bolt on and true duals, we even did a gear swap to 3.55's it was a A4 ..it was slow, 14.9 in the 1/4..he had a couple of stangs after that his 2011 GT/ auto with 3.15's...13.30's is all we could muster out of it with an axle back..my input..

Mike, what's the deal with Sean Hyland? I know the name and that he builds Ford engines, but don't have any back story.

He did a lot of chips for Superfly as well as the cams. Also did the exhaust it first had.
