Check this out, unlike you, he listened to me and got his ported Eaton Cobra tuned by someone that is reputable as a tuner that won't blow your **** up.

He beat on it and never blew it up, sounds like he knows who to listen to.

Not taking any sides,but comparing a engine from 16 yrs ago to fords best is pretty sad..the LS line is just about up..lets compare the coyote to the new LT1..

Why compare it to a slow ls1? I compare my car to a ls3 Camaro. And my 5.0 flat out spanks it

Why don't you compare it to a ls3 vette that is closer to your cars weight? Of course you wouldn't do that,because you know what the outcome would be...

Mustang and Camaro are direct competitors. Been that way since 67. No one wants to compare the 5.0 to the fifth gen because you know what the outcome would be...

If the 6th gen Camaro is faster than the 5.0, then these guys will start comparing them again, lol.

Comparing the Coyote to the LS3 is the only intelligent thing to do. The only people who compare it to the LS1 are either LS1 owners who don't want to admit they aren't top dog anymore, or the people responding to them.

That makes no sense.

Bingo. Complaining that you can't compare them because of weight is just as stupid as saying that they weren't competitors when there was a giant power deficit. That doesn't matter.

THE Camaro and Mustang are direct competitors,but I gauruntee you the next Camaro will have a Lt1 in it...Ford will have no answer for it as they are stuck to the coyote for atleast 7 more years...

From all accounts, the 5.0 in the '15 Mustang is gonna be very similar to the Roadrunner motor in the Boss 302. Probably have DI as well. I understand you obviously don't like Mustangs, and I'm a big Corvette person as well, but you're grasping straws here.

Why? because you and every one else knows that the Ls3 out classes a coyote 5.0 and want to compare it to a car that weighs 500lb more...

Direct injection, more compression, added displacement...I'd say they have enough wiggle room with the platform to stay competitive.

What tank are we talking about? a Ls3 vette would peel the paint off of a mustang...Are we talking cars or engines?

There is nothing to compare lol. Why compare a 50k plus car to a 30k car ? I could however compare the GT500 to one and its not even fair for the Vette. And how is it closer to my cars weight? 3200 vs 3600 lb car camaro is only 200 lbs more than my car.
