H/C/I @ 14's in 1/4 ?!?!

some combinations dont work well with each other... some people cant drive... some people run on street tires... the list goes on. If you dont like to drive your stang and fall in love with it everytime you hear the sound of it, i suggest you get a different car is you are completely worried about speed. As for head/cam/intake, that is your choice, you can get stock ported, or go all out on some afr's, it depends if you want to spend the change. bottom line, everyones cars and driving skills are different. If all you want is speed, buy a car that will suit your needs.

What i don't want: to spend 3 K in parts and labor to get smoked in the 1/4 by 6 car lenghts by a LS1.

First and foremost...learn to drive your car.

The best HCI set up in the world is wasted if you can't drive, or get the power to the ground, so invest in the appropriate suspension parts.

There are more than a few 5.0 stangs here that are running solid 13's with nothing more than very simple bolt ons (UD Pulleys, Electric Fan), gears, slicks, and some suspension parts.

I have to tell you right now, if I plopped down my cabbage on some AFRs, custom cam, and intake, and the supporting cast of goodies, and ran 12's, I WOULD BE PISSED!

If you want to beat an LS1...throw in some gears, blow 150HP shot of gas through it, and you are set.

To beat a stock LS1, you need considerably more power than the stock 5.0 will make. What I don't get is how some people act as though "unless you have H/C/I and a poweradder, you don't stand a chance" I think some people just don't know how to put an engine togeather. The fact is the LS1 comes with a H/C/I combo stock that competes with aftermarket manufacturers. There are many advantages the LS1 has but one thing the F body has too much of, and that is weight.

You go ahead and buy a LS1 powered F-body, it is going to at least cost you at least $14K no doubt unless you get a dogged out one and then your really in for an adventure. Your drop $4K as your down payment, you have at least $10K plus interest to pay off. Figure that out and see what your car payment will be. Then consider if you put that money into your notch, where the parts are dirt cheap, just what you can do. With that alone, you will put 6 car lengths on a LS6, which is standard on some of the new GM's comming out.

The LS1 is a nice engine. But F-body and LS1 parts are very expensive. We get parts dirt cheap.

It's your choice, if you don't love foxbodies, then sell it to someone who does, and get what makes you happy.

driver and traction are a huge determination of e/t

I run mid 13s and I'm basically stock.

you and a grip of other stangers, some of them 12s, mikierstad or somthing like that had a very minor list with awesome times, he milks it, like most of us 'factory freak' guys do, i managed a 13.39 at a mere 99 mph!!!, 1.78 60' time

what is this car trapping in the 1320?, just because you ran a 14 isn't all bad, if you trapped say 108 or somthing, then it means you're got horrid 60's or just plain suck at picking shiftpoints and shifting fast.

post up a timeslip.....i too, if i had h/c/i i would want 11s, i plan on 11s with a stock shortblock/intake/TB this year, heh, just serious poweradder!

anywho, post up that timeslip man.
and consider a dyno tune by a pro

Amen, brotha. Go buy the camaro and have fun. I hope you dont work on it yourself, or you may not have to. Just leave it stock. But I love my fox, and I will make it better that it ever was before. I will have fun building it up, cause its so much easier to work on than an F-body. Parts are pretty cheap too, but suspension stuff is high. The F-body hooks up as it is and doesnt need all that. Its up to you, but given the same $, I will smoke your F-body, no doubt. My car owes me nothing. I paid $2800 cash for it and drove it for 3 1/2 years now and its still in good shape. I can fix whatever goes wrong and improve her along the way. If it gets wrecked, I will buy another one and transfer the parts over. I pay about $30 a month for insurance, what will that financed F-body cost?

I need some better traction for me,my 60ft on the 13.6 pass was a 2.000

Why would you be pissed? With your typical 3300lb street car on pony wheels with drag radials, 12's is what your typically gonna run and thats about the norm. Now, do drag suspension, make it weigh 3000lbs with driver, add 410's or more gear and yeah, said car will go 11's. A 12 sec drag radial street car is a nice running car..
