Now put the ls1 in a fox.....yea it's been done way more than a 3v. What's that tell ya?
A s195 car is not that heavy.
Mod motors take more boost to keep up. If you are talking "mod motors" and not coyotes they don't take much boost at all unless its a termi or gt500.
Coyotes saving grace is e85 or rg. It can't keep up on pump either.
But i agree on the furd stuff being more developed. Even the blower sizes are built around them. A friend with a engine shop recently built a motor for a guy with a ls. We had lunch one day he was like "How come ls guys run such small blowers? This engine made 1000 tq at 3k rpm with a 2.9 whipple"
I told him because the industry is used to furd size blowers.

S197 3V's were 3600lbs, compared to the SN95 GT cars weighing 3300 and cobras at 3400lbs. My "pig" 97 thunderbird is 3700lbs.

Here on the east coast of Canada, the Mustang guys won't drag race their cars they park them out in the parking lot and watch the LS cars and the LT1 cars race. No shitting you.

CAI/ORX/Tune put them in the 315RWP range, which isn't that far off from LS1 territory. The average Lid/tune/longtube LS1 is sitting around 330RWP. I would say that bolt on to bolt on, the 3V keeps up with the LS1, but once cams come in, the LS1 leaves it in the dust.
S197 3V's were 3600lbs, compared to the SN95 GT cars weighing 3300 and cobras at 3400lbs. My "pig" 97 thunderbird is 3700lbs.

Seems you may be a bit generous to the 3v and stingy with the ls1.

I knew a guy with a 2005 3V GT. I beat him in my Camaro when it was stock with a lid and blowmaster muffler (came with the car from the trade). He said his car was FBO, geared, and had Comp Cams. Also said it made 320whp after all that
