Better yet, stock 302 + big single turbo for $3000 = 9s.

Now total up a swap K-member, swap headers, oil pan, swap mounts, serpentine system, bellhousing, transmission tunnel and shifter work, custom driveshaft, + a LS1 + cam swap.

There is noway it is cheaper, ask anyone that has done it.

no stock 302 is going to run 9's with a turbo. period. stock 302 blocks only handle 500rwhp and they ALL eventually split. They're shit. Only way to reach 9's would be sub 2800 raceweight with an R block, aluminum high flow heads with a big turbo and an auto. now you're talking some serious coin...all to "stay blue". Leave the guy alone and get off his balls. You obviously need to stop being so narrow minded and realize you're wrong.

ReLoaDeD BuLLiTT · November 1st, 2008, 04:30 AM

Here's one of the ONLY ways to reach 9's, as I stated prior:

9 Second Nitrous Inhaling 93 5.0 Mustang | WEEK News 25 | YouNewsTV

I have a buddy with a big single turbo and a stalled auto and a 306 and the best time he's pulled is an 11.5@127 out of it in cold weather. Stock blocks can't handle shit man, they crack, they break...stock displacement 5.0's don't make shit for power and don't hold together. It's old technology. Get with the program man.

ReLoaDeD BuLLiTT · November 1st, 2008, 04:34 AM

Here's a guy's coupe and look what it took to run 9's:

YouTube - Notchback Mustang Nitrous Pass

A sportsman block, and a huge shot of spray and 347 cubic inches.

9's are not a walk in the park by any means. 10's are a lot easier to achieve.

Nice idea Stangfreak. I look forward to seeing how your project comes along. Oh and ^^^ that coupe is bad ass!

reloaded use the fucking multiquote button nobody wants to read a goddam page of you bitching

stangfreak · November 1st, 2008, 02:15 PM

i can't believe this thread is still going. for those of you that asked "why" did i mention my buddy picked up an LS1 out of a 1999 Firebird for $600 and said i could have it for cost? that's why

superbean · November 1st, 2008, 02:51 PM

well before i thought crossbreeding was terrible..

Now that i race just about every single weekend... who gives a shit what motor it has. It's his car, let him put an ls1 in it.

Stangfreak, make sure to post up a video smoking a 351 fox.

the guy that got me interested in the swap runs 9.70@141mph. he's running 4.30 gears with a t56 6 speed and crosses the traps in 4th gear. that's a cammed LS1 with a 150 shot in a coupe.

I'm not the one bitching, get it right. I have no sig so it takes up no extra space. only one bitching is you.
