Full bolt ons for a 4V to run with a stockish LS1, the 5.0 needs H/C, or forced induction. BTW 94-95 is a 5.0 and 96-98 is a 4.6L 4V.

Yeah, i have two running around in my neighborhood, a black one and a white one. They are pretty nice... I have straight worn both of them out.. But car is H/C, stalled..

I don';t think yo would have any problem.. ALL of those mustangs sound good IMO with a decent exhaust.

unless it's an 03 04 Cobra I don't think you have much to worry about.

Minor bolt-ons on a 96-98 will get him right with you. (Stock they can run mid 13's at 103) 94-95 will take a lot..

They have gone mid-low 11's at like 114-116 with full bolt-ons. These are 5 speed cars too not autos, but good luck running into a car like that. It's just too easy to put a blower on and call it a day.

They dyno 300rwhp or so with full bolt ons, and weight a bit less than a stock LS1, basically it takes some steep gears and bolt ons to run with a stock LS1. They do like boost but the motors are not forged and 500RWHP is about all they are gonna take stock, if that.

That sounds like BS, they don't run 11's with just bolt ons.... more like high to mid 13's.

Mid to high 13's stock in a '98 4v.
With full bolt ons, suspension mods, and gears...its possible with a good driver at a track that doesn't blow (obviously at a good track with a 1.56 60')
