I've owned many things among a setup similar to Mikes. That also was proven to run hard and I feel my BrO could do the same with just as much attention to detail but with a sealed motor.

Could be a healthy vette with a mild setup. But yeah maybe it's hurt if it's burning oil.
It does cover a broad spectrum. But even the mildest h/c one could think of would be a ls6 top end and if right that car would run way better than it did and handle all but the hottest bolt on 5br0s with easy a vette.

So in your humble opinion, a h/c Vette should minimum be a mid 10s car?

So it can run even slower than what it does now?

Yes a heads cam C5 done right should run 10's. Average run of the mill burning oil, no, more like 12's.

While there are some H/C 346 C5s in the 10's on the CF fast list, I think it's pretty asinine to say a H/C build c5 will always run 10's. Heck, took one guy cartek 4x heads and a crap ton of other stuff for 11.3@mid 120's

This said car in video probably had a mild set of ls6 heads, a mild cam, and cookie cutter mods. Maybe a high 11's car at best

It's just a group of southern guys that put up some pretty good content on their channel. I saw this one come up recently and figured it would be a good post for all the drama going on between these two platforms lately.

Your trolling skills are terrible,. Just like your judgement on car lengths. There is roughly 100rwhp left to gain NA on that Bro.

Mappins is a well known expert on misjudging car lengths

FWIW....I ran a few 11.9 in my c5z stock with vararam. 3 of my friends went 11.6-7 back to back to back with MS3, headers, tune c5z's. That c5z in my opinion has problems. Either way, though....that mustang runs good, and looks great.

Just goes back to the basics of making a ls1 car run 11s before h/c. A frc should have no issues with that at all. I've seen stock ls6 c5z go 11.8@118....on stock tires. A h/c frc should do bottom 11s easy and with any thought at all go 10s.

Like I've already said if a ls6 can go 10s......in my car. Then there is no reason a frc can't go 10s with solid h/c combo. Frc is lighter...has a better chassis....and better aero.

I've also seen a stock c5z go 8.5@86, so it's fair to say anything can happen without a proper driver.

Did I say that? I said there is 100+rwhp left to gain on that Yote. And there is. Your response is gonna be well I heard or read Coyotes only gain 30rwhp from Cam's . Is that true? So there fore the heads need to make +75 rwhp more on the setup....also not true. Have Doug or Hammer explain to you guys about power through out the curve vs peak power. I've been stage 3 comp cams only gain 30rwhp but gain 60+rwhp above 7krpm on a simple bolt on Yote . Also yes a good set of heads is worth just much power if not more than cams on a Yote.....I am just talking about off the shelf cams let alone custom spec's locked out Cams. Coyotes can make big power NA it's just very expensive and they do it through a very steep gear....another lesson about steep gearing on a dyno and how much power it Rob's on a dyno but we will leave that for another day. I am talking about my car not no MT-82 junk ran in 5th gear and going 200mph on the dyno.

I love the "that car should go 10s but because it's burning some oil then it can be no faster than 12s." Lmao

Smoke on the sifts like that, could be valve seals..

Either way let's face it, there are WAY more 11-12 second cam, cam/head cars than there are 10second cars.

How fast do you think the 5.0 is? And by the way that car looked, do you think that could be a possibility?

That is also increasingly becoming the case when a poor high school student could easily afford an ls1 car. You're going to get a lot more of the cookie cutter mods and cheaper setups
