Today I was minding my own business when out of no where I see a team named Offline crusing in front of me. There was two LT1 Camaros, 68 Camaro, 73 Camaro, and three 70 Chevelle's. Awesome car's. Well this green Camaro always revvs it and ***** whenever im next to him. I've raced him and he kicked my ass. Today he was revving the engine again but nah I was gonna get spanked.

I own a 96 GT. I was thinking about putting a new 99+ 4.6 in my car. How much would the whole engine cost? How much to get it installed? I was thinking of putting headers to the new engine if I get it. Is it too much of a pain in the ass and not worth it?

Make me smoke LT1's!

are you talking about the new gen lt1s or the old carbed lt1s and as for the motor swap why not just do the pi intake,head,swap plus you will get more horsepower thanks to the raised compression ratio then you can go from there with your bolt on,s

Well, i jsut want to let you know where you stand as of now. THe 96 GTs were the slowest of any v8 mustang. They are turds...

What you need...
-4.10 gears
-Dr. Gas X-Pipe
-Magnaflow Magnapack/or Flowmaster American Thunder
-Full PI Swap (This includes heads, intake, cam)
-UD Pullys
-And then to seal the deal, NX Wet Nitrous Kit.

(I dont think you REALLY need the PI Heads, but they help SO much.)

The only diff between 99+ engine and yours is the PI. So jsut buy the new PI stuff and its the same basicly. If your getting a new engine, drop a 01 Cobra engine in it.
No less than 4.10 gears...

Dude...you freak out. Jesus christ, i wasent talking ****, because eveyrthing i said, was 100% true and im telling him what to do to beat an LT. You need to chill...

BTW, my sister has a NPI GT, and i can tell you right now (Cuz it was mine) that it is slow...and if it was my car now, aside from gears, PI woul dbe the frst thing.

lt1's aren't that impressive, with the right bolt ons, you should have him covered.

No. The newer GT are at about 9:1 with the PI heads you will be around 10:1. They are a good investment.

If you're planning on staying n/a, you will have to do the pi swap.You will have to decide if it is worth it to make the swap depending on the condition of your current engine.Either way, gears are a step in the right direction.Good luck with whatever you decide.

Uhh... i dont think so buddy. Stock for stock any year gt gets killed. Now with the head swap and gears u might have a chance if the lt1 is stock. But who's stock now and days anyway. if the lt1 has gears and exhaust and lets say a cai he's running low 13's if not 12's if he can drive. I have seen plenty of lt1's in the 12's without touching the heads cam or intake. (I live in michigan, home of the dream cruise, so i've seen plenty) U are going to have to spend wisely and drive the spit out of ur car to consistantly beat a f-body. I know i'm about to get blasted with hate replies but the truth hurts.

Simple answer............ I have a 2000 GT and I have killed every LT1 car that has raced me............ My mods are Plenum, 75MM TB, InletPipe,MAF with K&N and thats it........ it's always a easy win for me

I am a Professional Editor, i edit Weddings, Commercials, Sports Highlights, Dance, and Cheerleading. I also videotape these events. On the side i work on cars, clean them and hopefully in a week or two i will be able to go to work at a Viper repaire shop to start to work on them (Only for the summer). But my boss is nice enought to know i have to pay for a car, so i get paid well, and i am quite good (but we have some sick editors that blow me away). Thats how...
