Yup. Keep in mind the stock block, crank, and head support over 1,000 horsepower. The engine is factory boosted and built for it.

That's part of what's great about boosted motors: they're only strained when you want them to be.

1,000hp you cant get a 1000hp out of one of those piles in factor form, the tranny, motor, suspension, complete drive would totaly hurk out.. Its hard to pull a 1000hp in a turbo stang/camaro. Your saying your short block is as strong as a supras wich is one of the only STOCK short blocks that can handle 1khp.

Reading comprehension is a skill that I suggest you look into. Re-read what I wrote. Go ahead, you've got time.

This time, pay special attention to what I actually wrote. Here, I'll even re-post it right here for your convenience:

I don't ever recall saying short block. You can go on believing I said whatever you want if it makes you happy.

Now read about Shaun Carlson: http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2003...s_Carlson.html
or here:http://www.dragsport.com/issue/10/cover_story.shtml

Factory head, block, and crank. Do you honestly believe a 400 horsepower car is going to run 180+ in the 1/4 mile? Do the math.

School is out.

Have you guys had any problems with running into boost/fuel cut?

Us Evo guys usually get it when we spike to 25 PSI as well as with some bolt-on Evos on cold nights.

Yeah, there have been problems, mostly related to computer issues. Some guys have had the engine throw codes for too much part-throttle boost, some have not. Those have typically been 03 cars, the 04s have a different computer.

There have been no problems with fuel cut though. I don't think I'd want to run my car at 25psi on the stock turbo, that's way out of my efficiency range. Some new turbo kits for the SRT include t3/t4 hybrid kits, and some big power has been found while still being quick to spool.

I like those turbos (The 50 and 60 trim especially). You can see some good pump gas/low boost power out of those.

While the tuners like to push the big $, big WHP, GT series, they tend to only be worthwhile if you want to run race gas everywhere.

This is not my comp class and I really dont give a rats *** about spelling and grammer. Yes school is out and I could care less what my internet writing skills look like to you. You got the point of what I was geting at. Both of the links you posted are not even freakin neons there race cars. We could all find 8/9sec cars in any class or make. The neon is not a race car and will not hold a 1000hp on a normal mans salary, and will not be street able. Further more a 400hp car could run 12s or even 16 if it has no tq. Steve Y yet another one of your worthless I have no life and sit on my computer all day post was wondeful. me a river troll. You own a mustange and contribute nothing to the actual tech section. Sit and talk you motor trend crap, and your mystical stories.

This all from a guy who list that removed siliencer and full sythentics
51K miles, 5-speed, Accel filter, removed silencer, March pulleys,
full synthetics, minor weight reduction, 225/50R16 street tires out back.
Best run at sea level, 14.0 @ 101 (2.24 60' and roasting tires into 2nd).
Times to come with new mod: 255/50R16 BFG drag radials.

You are annoying as hell! You are a troll that will not go away. You are like the wart on my *** that bleeds, bitches, moans, and hurts all the time. These mod "mounds" have run a lot faster in the 1/4 mile than your LT1. So what does that make the LT1?

Steve Y,

My bone stock A4 TA ran a 13.8 @ 101 with a 2.2 60ft. Compared to your 4 year newer, litter and Moded M5 GT, I would have to say it makes the LT1 a hell of a lot better.

Just a thought

Yea the spring applies more tension to the swing valve therfore requireing more pressure on the can to pull it open to bleed the boost.. cheap yet effective mod...

The LT1 is a good motor. It has not come as far as the mod motors for all out drag racing, though. People have gone 13.6 at 101+ with bone stock 5-speed GTs. That with a motor that is 1.1 liters smaller than the LT1. I think you meant "lighter" not litter . Yeah, only about 200 lbs. lighter.

Its like talking to a wall.. Your the camaroz28 internet *** wart almost like seirgo but a little gayer. Ill beat your car in any form you build it. The mod mound is a piece of $%#%. I have sold more 4.2, 4.6 and 5.4s than you have internet post. You motor is unbuildable by a normal mechanic. Ford wont even touch a internal engine problem they just put a replacement block in. Why dont you point out the good parts of a 5.4,4.6, and 4.2 cause I can go all day why they suck. Look at why fords stock is 10 dollars a share. Look at the amount of motor rebuilds that are done on the mod mounds compared to the real windsor engines. Try to find me a 4.6/5.4/4.2 with over 200k on a stock short block. Yes I know all about you plastic intake pile of crap. The truth hurts, I was a dealer for 5 years and the mod motor was the most unreliable engine we sold.I think I speak for many when I tell you off. F*^*ing clown go to the honda board or better yet go to the corral, plenty of freaks there.


When you contribute some actual tech knowledge maybe Ill wast my poor grammer skills to reply to you. Your the annoying one that has no freaking life and sites on the camaro forrum when you own a 14 sec mustang. Get out of town, atleast I have a real car, that I built. Can you even change your own spark plugs in that pile.


Your sig says it all! YOUR OWNED by everything on the road Including a freaking NEON
