We know that no matter what, nothing out there will leave a stang behind... they are gods gift to the modern muscle. But just put things in perspective, I ran 11.5 with a 1.7... sure the stang could match my time with SLICKS and 1.5 60. If I were on slicks and cut a 1.5, my ride would be an 11.1 to 11 flat all motor ride. And I can lift the front tire.
Most will agree with me, no matter how much u want it to be otherwise, the ls1 would of taken the win. I dont need 600+hp to run 10s. I should be able to break with weight reduction. Car sits at 3640 empty... whats ur rebuttal?

i dont see a 5.0 running 11.5 with tire, boss intake, and offroad x with an M6.

Look in svt, modularfords, s197 several have done it. Hell manuals and autos have done 11.7-11.8 with tune and tire.

ohioborn80

iTrader: (2)

And you needed heads, cam, etc to go 11.5, I did that with bolt ons lifting both tires on DR's trapping 119, and wbt went 10's with bolt ons trapping 125. My car went 10.3@133 with 640whp. Weight of almost 3800lbs without me in it. So trapping a whole 16mph more, weighing more, less gear with 3.15's, and more power, and over a second faster. I'm not worried. You'll need least 150whp more to catch me. So let me know when you run what my bolt on manual did on DR's. And other bolt on 5.0's.

As implied here faster you get hard it is to gain a tenth etc.

negative DA. They arent doing that in the summer and thats all i care about. If they are doing that, i should be running 11.0. Ive raced several GTs... its ugly.

ohioborn80

iTrader: (2)

We never see negative da in TX. So not true. And I raced one boss. He was tune and cold air. I was full bolt ons and gears. He got walked. The boss always make less wtq and the HP evens almost out once full bolts on each. The guys running great time have base model 5.0's which are actually same weight and lighter then the boss's. Base model 5.0's don't have the extra heavy brembo brakes, heavy power seats, stereo, etc etc. My base model was under 3500lbs stock.

We have yet to see a boss go 10's n/a. But have been both manual and auto 5.0's do it.

work in progress

Everyone can say they read that a car with this ran that, you had to install x to acheive y yada yada yada. bring the car out line em up and run em and we will see who does what.

ohioborn80

iTrader: (2)

And Evan you get full bolt ons, with weight reduction, and put bigs/skinnies the car should be able to hit 10's. If manual 5.0's can do it you should be able to. AED, WBM, and another car did it in manuals, with few other from 11.0-11.3.

Agree. Run your car hope its enough..and don't sleep at the light..haha

Thats true, I did need some heads, small cam and all that to get here... But is still not bad for the age of the vehicle and technology involved in it. Sure the 5.0 is a much better contender out the box, but you got to give me some type of credit.

Im able to do well for a ride that cost me probably 1/3 of what the 5.0 cost, and its payed off as of next month, so dont know what im doing next. Was thinking of building up an iron block and possibly go STS or SC, not sure what that engine will go in, but shooting for bigger power. around 600 at the push of a pedal, no more spray.

Sorry but i dont see it. And no boss has gone fast because no one buys a boss and die hard drag races it. My car is substantially faster then my buddies 5.0 of the same mods as me. With longtubes he MIGHT hang within a couple cars of me. There IS a hp difference between the 2 cars. For example. He made 395whp on the same dyno i made 418whp. We have the same mods, gears, boss intake, etc. The only thing he doesnt have is a TB... and you have said it does absolutely nothing. Currently my car weighs 3360lbs still with stock wheels, brembos, big front sway bar, battery etc etc. Will be right around 3200 when done. Full enterior, nothing removed.

What DA did you go 119 in?

ohioborn80

iTrader: (2)

It was still middle summer 90* at night and da was around 3600. I was home on leave from Iraq. 3 months later buddy ran my car and went 11.4 in it at 121 or 122. I forget trap now. Same setup but da of 1800ish.

And yes TB has shown to do crap with the boss intake.

What does your buddy Rev his 5.0 to with boss intake?

ohioborn80

iTrader: (2)

To me price is mute. You could built this car or that for less and be faster. So its mute. Also if going to comepare like that have to look at I paid 32k fully loaded. Leatherm sync, backup sensors and cam, Mach stereo system, blue tooth, nw car etc etc. I could have bought a used car but I really hate buying used. Never know what other person did to car, how beat on it etc. Technolgy really don't matter as GM still uses same thing. SO if you bought a new camaro you would have same ****.

I give credit car runs good. But if go by some here you should run 9's already. But this is reality and your still doing good. One the best N/A TA that comes out to TAD that is actually a DD/street car. Most run in the 12's that come out. If not worse same as the 5.0's, vettes, etc etc at TAD.

And go boosted. Lots better then spray in the long wrong. I got sick of filling bottles in the G8. That why didn't just throw a shot on 5.0.

7600 to my 7800. Ill be reving 8k with headers

Thanks, finally something remotely nice coming from you... I would love to boost and think the STS has a wicked turbo sound. Some say I could get close to 600 on them, but then again, dont want to get to crazy, as it adds up in the end, and at some point, high horse power starts working against you.

I forgot to add That I was also the Fastest ET of the night and it was pretty packed... Im on my way, hope to soon break 10s and stop all mods in this car.

Why is he stopping at 7600. He is leaving power on table. Both you running same tune? The GT's have shown they can handle 7800rpms. Hell I rev/shift at 7650 with 11lbs boost.
