A car length is actually not bad considering your mods. Some gears should be more than enough to even it out. Gears + full exhaust + tune = him seeing YOUR tail lights.
People over-hype the LS1 way too much. Yes, they're awesome motors but they're not as mighty as some people make tem out to be. I have no problems with stock-lightly modded LS1's from a roll, from a dig it's even worse.
So modding a ls1 wont hurt the longevity of the car but modding a 4.6 does?Ive always had camaros and Now i have an ls1 corvette Its coing to cost you alot of money to keep up with a ls1 Z28. Its cheaper to sell your car and buy a newer mustang then it would be to do themods your going to have to do to keep up with it. Trust me then after the mods are done you will decrease the longevity of that 4.6. Even a camaro with an LT1 engine from 93 to 96 still have about 280 at the flywheel and roughly 200 at the wheels. Not to mention about 225 torque. Those camaro corvette engines are no joke.
Here we go camaro vs mustang fight I own a mustang cobra a 98 corvette and a 95. Z28. There's a reason an ls1 guy would say that the engine is a monster. Alli was saying the amount of power he's going to need would be cheaper to sell and buy a newer mustang. Doing power adders decrease the longevity of an engine no IFs ands or butts. Adding 50 hp to an engine and doing nothing internally will cause a bigger problem then he may want on his hands.
Pick up some Stage 8 locking bolts. They'll never back out again without your permission.I actually have to tear into my car tomorrow to tighten down some header bolts that have worked themselves loose.
So if you sold a 2002 gt for $7000 and bought a 03 Cobra for 10,000 That wouldnt be a better route than Spending $1500 to $3000 on a $7000 car not to mention yes you will decrease the longevity of the engine with upgrades. Must be an age thing How old is everyone in this post? Most people are like go ahead put in headers do 410s under drive pullies But dont spend any extra money on a stronger clutch thats going to blow out or bearings that cant handle the extra power on the bottom end. So go ahead put when ever you want on your car then two months from now he will be posting How do I diagnose a blown headgasket.
LOL 03 Cobra for $10K.....LOL
