How much power needed to beat a bolt on 5.0???
#82
I see alot of new 5.0s at the track and from what i see in the real world from what i read on here is a whole different car, there good running cars yes, but i think most of these comments are just far out of reality

i stated in the other thread i have never heard of such a car. The only car i know of for holding a record is the stick car that runs 12.1 at 114. Ive never heard of an auto car break 12.6 on a stock tune. Dez racing has gotten there a6 gt to go 12.4 at 114 with intake, catback, tune, 4.10s, drag radials. Car makes 25whp/30wtq more then stock.
Also a few that went 11.8-11.9 auto with just tune and tire.

When its 110+ during day and still 95* at midnight when I ran mine. After 6 months of not even driving a car.

They run at way better tracks in 0 or negative da. That 10.88 car has not been 10's again. At a bunch events with + da it has went low 11's. Plus I have 350lbs on it. And run in 2000+ worse da at a track that does subpar prep. The ones on here that run at little river can tell you how bad it sucks.

If thats the case... and we are going to argue that. Shouldnt all LS6 crate motor swapped f bodies trap 130mph?? Come on man. For ever 100 cars, 1 is impressive, because 99 percent of people cant build a fast car with the exact same parts. You make it sound like you have barely any work into your car. When in fact, admit it or not, your car is WAY more of a "race car" then that GT i posted. I wasnt aware a wheel/tire swap makes it a race car. Hell ive take bone stock cars down the track with slicks and skinnies on them. They must be race cars too i guess. And since when can average joe build a fast car. So far according to LS1tech, i should have been destroyed by every car ive raced so far...
And in comparison since you like to say your car has barely any work done to it and Ohios is built. His car weighing 3300lbs + auto + 620whp, traps 130mph.. Your car weighing 3000lbs + 420whp, traps 130mph... something is missing from that equation. Stop hating on the car just because you dont like it. I hate to break it to you, but if you trap 113mph stock, add 55-60whp to a car, run suspension, and a bit of weight reduction, and only trap 117-118... you fail... completely fail. Just because i havent taken THIS car down the track yet, does not mean i have never taken a car down the track. For example. Same track day. I took my 3650 race weight gto down the track on nitto DRs. Stock gear, junkyard 6.0 with an ls6 cam and bolt ons (made 355whp) through a locked 3000 converter. I went 12.1 at 114 (no gear and not enough converter to best a 1.77 60 foot). Another guy who was driving the absolute ***** out of his cammed/bolt on/maggied 04 gto which made in the 440s was running consistant 12.2 at 112. Ive also went 11.4 on sumitomo street tires with a H/C 6.0. Most couldnt do that on a slick. But either way...

My auto weighs almost 3700lbs with the blower on it. Add me another 210lbs. At 620whp went 10.60@129/10.64@131 and 10.68@131. On DR's and with 18" rims with a 255 invo on the front for one them passes. Skinnies on two of the others. All passes in DA of 3000+. It also just went 10.61@134 with a 1.78 60ft spinning. In DA of 3600.

Funny how these 5.0 guys on tech can never get their cars to run what these shop cars do. lol
Bottom line, the average bolt-on 5.0 doesn't run anywhere near 10s, neither do they trap 120+. I wonder when these guys will realize this.
Makes me think of when Ohioborn bragged about these 10.90@125 bolt-on cars and then could only muster mid 10s in his FI stalled auto car w/ over 600rwhp.

But kinda like like always here people talk how people always talk how Z06's and ZR1's all run 10's stock then you see this.
at same time this goes this..with bolt ons

My car went 11.4@119. I couldn't get it cause I was in the middle of Iraq. And only time I got to run after mods was middle of August and it was 100* when I took it. Your car would be lucky to run mid 11's in the middle of summer here
When its 110+ during day and still 95* at midnight when I ran mine. After 6 months of not even driving a car.

So now you gonna try to tell me your bolt-on 5.0 would run with me ......yea what a joke that would be. The 5.0 I ran last year is gonna need alot more than bolt-ons. I hot lap the **** out of my car. The times I run are not long cool down or iced down bs times. To be honest I don't even like to raise the hood when I go to the track.
Hence why your fastest times come during the winter months. Cold great - or 0 DA.

The drivers are in fact the worst part of mustangs. Ohio seems cool, fanboy, but he's alright. All of the local mustang owners claim 100+HP over what their car actually makes. They never race anything faster than a 15 second car. If you call them out, they say that they don't race for anything less than $500. God forbid you actually go get the cash (been there). They will just say that the atm only allows a max of $300. Then you say "OK go get $300 and we will run for that." Then they bitch out and make up excuses. Then you find out from your friends that they have been going around town calling you a *****. Its not a stereotype if its true.
