I can't say why he did what he did, I'm new to the LSX motors I'm an ol school big block guy but I have to say the more I learn about these motors the more impressed I get, it's just hard to swap your wrenches for a programmer when it comes to tuning. I'm happy with the way the car runs now, the only sketchy part of it to me is the rear end. If I upgrade anything it will be the rear end to a 9" more than likely, I gotta give it to ford there. Don't get much better if at all the a 9" in my opinion

I called the guy I bought my car from this morning to find out exactly what was done to my motor when it got rebuilt, according to him it was bored .30 over, hypertech pistons, stock ls6 heads, ls1 cam, ls6 intake, zo6 maf, long tube headers, true duals, cat deletes, smog pump delete, SLP lid, msd wires, msd coil packs, and a tune. The transmission has a monster clutch and I put 315 nitto DR's on it. So thats what I'm running, it's not the fastest f body around by any means but it's no slouch either. I haven't came across those elusive 5.0 LS killers yet but I haven't ran one of those 5.0 coyote cars either that I keep hearing so much about. The majority of 4.6 and 5.0 mustangs I see at the track struggle to break into the 12's unless they're blown and heavily modded. Not saying they don't exist but there's none at my local track

Why are you so stuck on trap speed?

this is a 250lb driver with no trackey (for those not familiar with it look it up). This car has bested an 11.58 at 118. This is not the first car to trap this high. There are quite of bit of them doing that. I am 150lbs and have the trackey (car is much stronger with it). So to say no stock ford can hang with you is ignorant... because this one would beat you pretty badly. .8 of a second is 5-6 cars.

So unless you would get one hell of a jump on him all you could do is set there and wait for him to pass you. I case you have'nt noticed trap speed is a better indicater on power. ET is a better indicater on set-up/traction/gear and most importantly in the f-body case rear end strength.

Sepno walked the **** out of your Mach with a 110 trap on the street with equal tires. This guy is quicker and has 10 mph on you instead of 3 like Sepno did. That means his car accerlerates like a mid 11 sec car once it get moving. Your Mach accelerates like a mid 13 sec car once you get moving.....commen sense.
So unless you would get one hell of a jump on him all you could do is set there and wait for him to pass you. I case you have'nt noticed trap speed is a better indicater on power. ET is a better indicater on set-up/traction/gear and most importantly in the f-body case rear end strength.

Sepno "walked the ****" out of my Mach 1 when it had different mods than it does now. With mods now it "walked the ****" out of his LS1. What part of that don't you understand? Bring this guys 117mph trap LS1 to the track and I'll bring my 108mph trap Mach 1 and we will see what happens. ![Secret2](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/secret.gif)

Run that 117mph ls1 on the street and see what happens. It would look something like this for you

id rather race it... because i cant see it going 117mph...and ive seen some genetic freaks of cars/drivers. For that thing to do 117 you would have to drive the ***** off it.... and have a significant amount of weight pulled... not to mention it doesnt have any gear...come on people
