Okay, yes I am an LS1 owner. I have a z28. I understand the fact that the camaro's didn't out sell the mustang, but I don't really care about non of that. What I care about is the fact that my camaro with LT's, SLP lid will dog walk a 2005+ Mustang gt, even the 360hp Shelby with similar mods. I like the mustang, but the performance is suffering. So I bought a GT for my girlfriend. What mods respond well to the 3 valve, and how much horsepower does the stock clutch hold. I currently haveLT'spowerflo-xexhaust, CAI, and a custom Diablo tune. Any suggestions

There you go, this will get you some more replies. Welcome to the fourm, keep the camaro comments in the street/strip section. This is for S197's ONLY. We would be more than happy to help with ideas for your g/f's stang.

Where is there a 360hp shelby? I know of a 325/500/550/625 and 725, but no 360. And I know a LS1 with those mods wouldnt "dog walk" a 360hp S197.

I refuse to believe that years of research money and development of power purpose built will lead to a prestige flagship engine with a reputation.

its just not going to happen.

You think it takes mods to run a 13.4 in a LS1 fbody??

Seriously..

Besides the upper right hand side of the video says...


"my buddies stock 2002 Z/28 running at SAR on 11/16/07 "

Those of us that actually go the track know better than to think a LS1 is a 13.7 car. Plese refrain from being a magazine racer. TommyV8 who is a member of this very forum has run a I beleive a 13.3 in his bone stock LS1 Camaro.

So one out of how many were made runs a 12.9? I never said that they strickly run that time posted above. I think you are misunderstanding what I am typing. There is no doubt I would choose the ls1 engine over a 4.6(3v). It is a better platform to build from IMO. I don't even have the 3v, mine is a 2v and I know it will get raped by an ls1. I think they are about equally matched stock for stock. A couple of tenths of a second is not going to be a major difference on these cars. There is only like 10hp and 20lbs of tq difference betweent the two. Not sure on the weight of each car.

Since you don't he a LS1 or S197, haven't taken either to the track, rely on magazines and websites who even say their own times are not credible, I don't think you are qualified to say the two cars are evenly matched.

Mainly because they are not.

There are a handful of drivers who have piloted stock LS1 F bods to high 12's iirc(I could be wrong on this). No way a stock 3V is going to do that unless it's going downhill with a tailwind. I(and others here) still say pushrods>OHC because the money is better spent elswhere in engine development, and the LSx has proven that repeatedly over the last 10 years or so.

I'm curious though why some people always want to compare the LS1 to 4.6's an 5.0s. Wouldn't a more fair comparison be an LS1 vs a 347 or a 351W or a 5.4?

Ford offered the 351W(5.8L) in the 95 Cobra R. And though it was primarily a truck engine in production form, there are a lot of built up 351W's out there that are easily a match for equally built LS1's. I think Ford was dumb to not offer it in more Mustangs, but they prolly had their reasons.

Okay, yes I am an LS1 owner. I have a z28. I understand the fact that the camaro's didn't out sell the mustang, but I don't really care about non of that. What I care about is the fact that my camaro with LT's, SLP lid will dog walk a 2005+ Mustang gt, even the 360hp Shelby with similar mods. I like the mustang, but the performance is suffering. So I bought a GT for my girlfriend. What mods respond well to the 3 valve, and how much horsepower does the stock clutch hold. I currently haveLT'spowerflo-xexhaust, CAI, and a custom Diablo tune. Any suggestions


Well First of all there is no 360 hp shelby
if you mean the Cobra..390 hp..i doubt you can walk one
and by Shleby, if you meant the 500 hp one..haha


oh and a stock 3v's cluth will strain with a supercharger.

the 3v responds well to all mods really.
CAI and Tune are good for about 25 RWHP+
Plus header and you got 300RWHP..or close to it.

If it wasn't for 3 reasons, I'd love Dodge, I might even be driving one right now.

1) Dodge uses fake Hemi engines. Ex. the 340ci Ram 1500 engine has 340 hp....that's 'horsepower per cubic inch' in a pushrod engine, they've been doing that for decades, I believe the Corvette Stingray with a 350 is the first to do it. Wheres the Hemi power?
2) Dodge uses Body on Frame instead of Unibody for their sports cars...Thats why they're soo heavy...They also have no crumble zone, which is a safety feature for Unibody style vehicles. Heavy + Unsafe = Fail for Sports Cars.
3) I've owned a 1996 Dodge Neon before...and I can't count the numbers of problems that damn thing gave me on three hands.

Other than those 3 beefs..They're ok.

Go to the street/strip section. There are lots of F-body guys there and you will find that there is a ton of respect for your type of car. You mention other than FI. Sure you can spend a ton of money to make a non-FI car fast, but, why wouldyou when FI on a Stang is so effective and cost efficient?

the 351W was given a very economic cam, not a real power-making cam in the F-Series trucks. and that's the way you're going to find a lot of them. i'm not saying that ALL the 351W motors were given that crappy cam, but a lot were. the 351-powered 'stangs were given a more performance oriented cam

Just cuz some idiots think a stock 351W truck engine in a fox is badass doesn't mean that a 351W can't be turned into a fire breathing mofo. The point I was making was that everyone always wants to compare the 350 or LS1/2/3/6 to Ford's 4.6 or 5.0 engines, and it's not a fair comparison since the LS has the obvious displacement advantage, so of course it has the potential to make more power, and often will. Compare the LS to at least the 5.4, or better the 351W. The 351 vs LS is a WAY better comparison, they're both 90* V8 engines with similar displacement and pushrod valvetrains. Compare the LS7 to Ford's 427 or Chrysler's 426. A smaller engine can't be fairly compared to a larger engine unless it's given an advantage of i's own such as nitrous or a blower for instance.

i see what you're saying. i think that if Ford wanted to really get back into the power wars, they would offer at least the 331 in the 'stang. i mean it's obvious that Ford knows how to get power out of a motor, 300hp from a 4.6 is great. imagine if they really put some money into a 331 or a 351?? that would deffinitely give GM guys a run for their money
