School me on these 5.0 Mustangs
Hey guys I have a 03 GT and I dont really know much about the 5.0 Mustangs. Reason I ask mainly is bc I have a buddy who has a 1995 GT automatic with 4.10's, bbk shorty headers, CAI, chip thats tuned from American Muscle and a Mac o/r H pipe with magnaflow magnapack catback. The car sounds amazing and is definitely faster than it was when he got it stock, he used to run 15.6-15.5's stock at the track. Now it runs 14.6's this summer *that was without the bbk and mac o/r H pipe* consistently which I think is a big improvement but my question is what more does he need to do to his car to see low 14's to hopefully 13's?
I was just wondering bc every time I go with him to the track ppl say that his car is definitely faster than my 2v 4.6 if he does a little more work to it but every time we run I smoke him bad, no offense. Basically am I screwed when he gets some more mods done to it or will his car still need more work?
Btw I did not start this to instigate a flame war against the 5.0 and 4.6 engines. I just want an honest answer as to how fast can you get a 5.0 with bolt ons and how it would fare against a 4.6 2v with similar mods.
