I thought he quoted ponygt65 and not the other guy MY BAD


Sorry JET, I'm unhooking my keyboard now....

Newer 4.6 blocks won't hold up? Since you are not a dumbass and since you know how much a 4.6 (pretty general statement) will hold, would you care to share this expansive knowledge of how much HP a "newer block" will hold?

Bitemark46

By what? Adding headers and a "good driver"? That's how you make your car fast? Here is my little pos 4.6. Non-Supercharged. Valve covers have never been off the car. Maybe since you are such a great driver you can critique my driving skills. Oh wait, I'm cheating. I have Slickzorrss! lol. Grow up kid. You can make any car fast.

Kind of old. However, it was my first 11 sec pass. Tickled the limiter on the 1-2

Now there is a real call-out...should a 4.6 owner drive to Kinston, Piedmont and Rockingham to try and find you? Or are you going to be more specific?

Termi, since you're the only one worth talking to: I should have included the 3v's b/c that's the "new" block I was refering to and I hear they won't hold more than 500rwhp. Your block on the other hand is rock solid. I have a friend with one that's atleast a 10 sec. car with way more than 600 horses. I knew the location bit was coming so we can meet at Mooresville's 1/8 mile. It will have to be next week however as I'm out of money(hope you wanna run for fun). You have a better chance of running who you want to down there.

Neat! Getting into the 'spirit' of things, here is my first "bolt-on" 11....on DRs even.

This thread's a HOOT! LOL!

Or maybe he's at home "gutting" his car too.

ponygt65

HAHa...well, maybe you should try clarifying......there is block, and then there is motor (OR, short block and long block).

The STOCK MOTOR is limited.....just like the LS motors are...can you say, SAME PISTONS/RODS (hyperucrappy)?

wow...you just keep up the ignorance don't you.

Farmington is a waaaaaay better track, and a lot less crowded. But I haven't been back to Mooresville in about 3-4 months.

pony you're so smart..you keep impressing me with your wealth of knowledge...or lack there of...lol but answer this...why did ford switch to hypertecs in 93?

Farmington is a better track but it's harder to line up with the person you want to race

Here's something else for yall to jump on...my car was already gutted...lol

why do you think I'm so impressed with how fast it is?....not reflecting in my 1/8 mile limited traction time for those of you getting ready to remind me

ponygt65

I have more knowledge on mustangs than you do on your own genitals boy.

There is no factual answer to your question. There are only opinions (unless you worked with Ford and might have the insight). But, I will humor you, so you have have your minor second to glorify us with your all knowing of stangs. - production costs....BTW - you do realize that not all faxbodies had forged internals right?....UH DUH - you act like Ford had forged internals in every 5.0 they produced.

boy!!...you must of said Roy cause there ain't no boys in here...except you...and I 'm not Roy so you must of been talking to yourself. No **** by the way...I was refering to 87-92 having the forged internals maybe 86 as well I know 86 had the 8.8's. You seem to be the one trying to be a badass...oh wait maybe thats because your in California...take it easy bud, I'm just messing with you guys...this thread has been fun.

dsmfan95...I ran an evo last year in my black 88 iroc 5spd. I took off ahead until half track when it came around me just before the 1/8th mile at Mooresville on test and tune...that wasn't you was it? I believe the car was running mid to high 7's.

dsmfan95

Farmington is way less crowded on a Test and Tune night. You can line up beside someone much easier on Thursday nights than Mooresville. I frequent both, and the prep track is much better at Farmington.

PS. What color was the Evo? Mine is Silver.

ponygt65

I know you were refering to those foxes...you asked a questions as if forged internals were a common thing prior to '93. I will apologize right here and now for my mis-perception.

I am not trying to be a badass....I dont' know why people talk crap about stangs and then when corrected they get pissy saying we are the dicks..NO, we are just correcting the arrogant/ignorance. That's all.

OMG LOLZ!!1!1i bolt on LS1 PWNS ALL!!!

88blackgt

just though i would help you guys out w/ a little fox history. 85 was the first year for forged pistons, 86 was the first year for the 8.8. 87 was the first year for EFI(SD) and MAF came in 89(88 for cali cars). also hyper pistons came about due to increasing emissions standards(cost probably had some to do with it too). hyper pistons have less thermal expansion.

ponygt65

You sure?

Don't mean to sound like a dick, I have just never heard that before...or even a hint at it.

88blackgt

haha in that case you need to do a little more reading on the subject, as the switch to hyperpathetic pistons was a common thread among auto manufacturers as emissions regulations increased. the major advantage is in the clearances for the motor. tighter piston to wall clearances allowed for less blowby and lower cold-start emissions(hardest test to pass). not to mention the reduced blowby keeps the o2s alive longer and the emissions system happy. hyper pistons also reduce scuffing
