I just got my ls1 camaro, i have all the usual bolt ons, headers, stp, gears, blah ....i also have a magnuson blower @ 8.5psi, ive been street racing quite a bit lately, and it seemed like this car was unbeatable by about anything i would ever see...most of my races were with mustangs of course, and other camaros, i had never lost... i live in bowling green ky by the way, the corvette capitol of course, but evidently the mustang capital too, there everywhere, maybe because pro 5.0 fun ford wkend is the biggest show in town a year...I had never been beat my a mustang til today and i got wasted by 3...... here we go, i was coming back into town on I-64, when i noticed 3 old mustangs ahead of me, fox bodys, or the old 5.0 stangs...****, you know, we got off on the same exit, they all pulled into the gas station, so i followed. They were 3 stang buddys, we got to talking, they looked at my car, and said it was nice, i looked at theres and somehow we got to talking about running them.......the first car i ran was the slowest one, it was one of those with a trunk, the car had a N/A 302 with H/C/I and a 5 speed, no n2O that i knew of, we ran on i-64, came to a complete stop, 3 horn honks, the stang pulled me like 4 cars before i was in 3rd, i figured it was a hook issue cause i did spin real bad...so i caught up and we did a 55mph roll, somehow he walked me easy, the second and third came up and ran me after that, one had a blower for sure, LOUD, i got absolutely ate....... how in the FU*k did that **** happen?????? theres just no way.... what the hell, THOUGHTS????????????????

5.0's i heard was really cheap to build, and if someone got enough money, they can make just about anything crazy fast.

Where the hell have you been for like the past 15 YEARS???
5.0s happen to be one of the most easily modded mustangs - and probably the most commonly modded muscle car period (i would say civics, but ****). There's a bunch of stock ones out there, but theres a **** ton of heavily modded ones too. Some can roll out for sure.

he is not telling you something cause a h/c/i fox will not beat a boosted ls1 on 8.5 lbs or maybe i am mistaken. i know it takes a stock fox a 150 shot to hold off a stock ls1.

I'm pretty sure there's H/C/I combos out there that can make close to 150rwhp.

An old worn out 5.0 thats 20 years old may need a 150 to hang with a stocker, but a fresh h/c/i 302 with traction is an easy low 12 car, look it up man, add a 150 shot to that, your runnin low-mid 11s...
