Good Kill, a blower and some exhaust work still isnt enough for a LS1...good Kill...what psi was he runnin

 

Sounds like this blown mustang wasn't tuned, or was on 5 cyls. A blown Mustang is more than a match for an LS1, even on a stock engine.

 

with a custom chip and some dyno time the results will be much different

 

Not all cars are going to be the same; just because it has a blower doesn't really say anything. You could have someone throw a supercharger pushing 5lbs on an otherwise stock 5.0 thats beat up; that's not going to make a major difference... while on the other hand, you could have a blown 5.0 like your's, or a local here who runs 15lbs of boost on a built car and consistently runs high 10's.

My guess is the 5.0 in question here was the former case. Just because "I got a blower!!" doesn't suddenly make your car fast.

 

Good kill. Kill him again and again. if you don't have drag radials already, I suggest you get some ASAP.

Dont get too cocky. There are plenty of 5.0's in MA that would wax you (they are N/A or blown). You have a nice ride, but you are a small fish in the big scheme of things.

 

With an 8psi Kenne Bell, an MSD6AL and a 255lph intank pump my '95 went 13.1@110mph full weight on Bridgestones. The old combo ended up going 12.0@119 on 17" DR's. Car looked and sounded bone stock.
My GT has a Paxton blower...it's just a little one though.
There are lots of poorly tuned, poorly driven cars out there. Maybe this was one of them.
Bring that SS down to Toms River. I'll set up some slow Mustangs to take your candy.

good kill....

a supercharger kit for a 5.0 Mustang can be had for $1650 (Vortec A-trim 5 psi ...can be spun to 10 psi). what's the entry fee for an LS1 blower? around $4500 for a pos Powerdyne. for a decent Vortec it's around $6000.

Paxtons starts at 6 psi for around $1700. putting one of these on a stock 5.0 with headers will make around 315 HP at the crank....assuming that that 5.0 is in good shape....1992 = 14 years old.....plus it's a heavy convertible....auto or 5spd?.....we're talking about 267 rwhp for a 5spd and about 252 rwhp for an auto.

a stock LS1 already makes more than this.

so obviously it's all about which supercharger and what else is done to the car....and what shape is it in.....and not that a 5.0 can't beat an LS1.....because my 5.0 will destroy my LS1, which doesn't prove anything except that i just don't want to make (well pay to make) my LS1 faster.

 

That is what I thought, but hell anything can happen. It sounds like it could definetly use a tune. None the less good kill.

 

when you coming down this area?

 

im going to maryland again soon badazzgt, how much boost you running? be in the area of north east md. not talking smack but will run for fun. im soon to be running 8psi and 100 shot. on bfg dr's

 

I will be running 15+ pounds. Hopefully I'll have the new setup broke in (mandatory 500 miles) and tuned. Today was the first day the engine has ever been started so I have a while to go yet. If my car is ready, we can hit the track and run for fun. My street racing days are done.

Here is a picture of the new setup

 

Tim,
Might be down in June/July, but I'll probably have the Cobra.
My company just bought a facility in Towson, so I'll likely be back in the area on business.
I doubt I'll get the GT or Regal down there.
BTW-Where is Glen?
