ok, i have been gone a while and...


somehow the venerable LS-1 has once again become something it isn't. i say venerable and i mean it. it's old and out of date. be careful which LS-1 version you mention as some kind of killer. i know for myself that 97-00 ls-1's are killed at tracks everywhere by any quick car. i leave 01-02 out of this, as they are really LS-6's.

take courage weaker ford boys, (those who fall into the"LS-1 trap")

the 6.2l boss is here soon. so you can look back at the foolish younger years where wisdom was hard to come by, when you thought the only answer was 'brand x ', and relish real HP. Ford HP. modern OHC 6.2 liters of chevy killer ford Hp.

Actually Bill, the LS6 was only used in the early ZO6 (and later the Cadillac CTS V-Series). It was never between the fenders of the base Camaro, Trans AM or Corvette. They were always the LS1 based engine. The LS1 did however receive the LS6 intake manifold starting in 2001 to up the grunt a little, but swapped out to smaller camshafts in order to even power levels out.

This is correct. Even though the LS1 and LS6 have interchangeable parts, the 01/02 f-bodies and standard vettes only shared a common intake with the actual LS6. Either way, is it coming down to money or loyalty? I have no loyalty to Ford or GM. I just buy what I want. Neither company has done anything for me so why should I be loyal? Kind of like rooting for the Chicago Cubs. Why do it? They charge way too much for tickets, food, merchandise... and for what? So I can root for a bunch of guys that could care less about me? Same with Ford and GM. They just want our money. Now carry on.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing as soon as he mentioned putting Z28 badges on his GT. I've also read his mods list in the profile and it's a fkn joke!

Bottom line, even if he wasn't trolling he's probably just another high school kid dreaming of wasting college funds on a dream project that he'll never finish nor can afford.

This mustang has an LS1 in it:

From the horses mouth...so to speak...

The car was a nitrous car for 2 or 3 cars. Always with a 525" BBC and one fogger. The best pass ever was a 8.39 @ 166. The car always ran at 3520#'s and stock suspension.

I never did too great with the car. I qualified 4th in Braadenton at the NMCA opener, and finished 4th in the race. Also won a local race when I wrecked the car. At least I've always put on a good show. Lifting normally isn't an option.

It's always been alot of fun for me, and I enjoy every minute of it. Spark Plug works on it as much as me, and has been to every single race. Can't do it without him, won't even try.

And the car is now apart for a turbo upgrade. www.prolineraceengines.com has the motor. Hoping to be racing soon. Everything always takes longer than planned... Planning on being well into the 7's this go around.

Jay

and Daniel (Spark Plug)

from when we first built the car or the current motor set up? there should still be some pics in the rides section of when we where builing the car. you want a time line of when we built the car to now? as far as races go, we qualified #4 in bradenton for nmca, and lost int he semi's. made a local easter race and won that race, but that is the same race jay put it in the wall right past finish line. after the car was finished again we went to memphis were it ran a best of 8.3. but we messed up the motor first round. after being built again the motor broke a rod on the dyno, which is why we are currently switching to a pt106 turbo on alchohol.

In that pic is something in that stock suspension breaking...

you're thinking of the LT1 from the 93-97 camaros. The LT1 is slow, vulnerable and on par with the Ford 2V.

LS1s have been known to run high 12s stock.

the 6.2l boss is here soon. so you can look back at the foolish younger years where wisdom was hard to come by, when you thought the only answer was 'brand x ', and relish real HP. Ford HP. modern OHC 6.2 liters of chevy killer ford Hp.

the 6.2L Hurricane was scrapped by Ford long ago. You'll never see it.

For the record I am a troll, but I do have a Mustang GT I plan to build up, I just owe $3800 more on it first. I did fully intend to do a LS1 swap if this was a kit project because it would be within my budget, but you're right since there isn't i can't afford it. The reason I would add Z28 badges to my Mustang is because a Ford Mustang Z28 would be funny to me.
My previous rides were a 404rwhp LT1 Camaro that I broke a rod in at the same time I lost my job which caused me to get my car repo'd. And my last car was a SVT Focus with only suspension work which I ended up trading in for this Mustang because I decided no matter how awesome my Focus gets, it's still a Focus. I am a tuner with a sense of humor.
I have already admitted in this thread I realized the LS1 swap was out of my budget and I am going with a kenne bell instead. Lay off me!

BTW My mod list is in fact a joke as someone else stated.

Putting Z28 badges on a Mustang isn't funny, it's wrong

 

[Lookin4Stang]

I've been sticking up for this guy only to find out he's a self admitted troll. I take back everything nice I said about you. You need to go play somewhere else my friend.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Trolling is not funny and is also against board policy.

I see no reason to keep this open
