Thank you!boomshack said:Hey man, do your thing. It's your money and your car. You asked the question to know if anyone else had done it and to get input on alternatives. I'm guessing you didn't start the thread to be called a traitor or what not. Some people are closed minded and others are not.
I love performance cars, be it lambos, ferraris, porsches, stangs, camaros and others and the whole point of the aftermarket is to do something different. Good luck with whatever you decide and if you ant to stay N/A then stay N/A!
Joel's98GT said:oh crap, lets hurry and tell the people that are doing, and have been doing it for a year now, to stop!!!!
there are already a few people that have gotten 03/04 cobra shortblocks to run into the 9's with the aid of spray and drive the car home, and to work the next day, and the next . . .

You can only go so fast with no boost or nitrous, also once u start getting up into the high power #'s wether you are blown or not **** is going to break thats how cars work. He said he wants to be untouchable. Well #1 you will never be untouchable #2 you sure as hell wont be untouchable staying N/A.
RedGTvert said:There is absolutley no reason to call anyone weird because they don't want a power adder. Some people are happy running low 11's, high 10's without the help of a power adder. That was my point. How many people on this board can say the same with a power adder.
Mstg05 said:If i'm not mistaken, I just saw a black vette at atco last friday run a 11, and it was all motor. There was also a blue one there that ran low 10, which I beleive was also all motor.
Anyone that says low 10s, even single digit times are not possible without a power adder don't go to the track often enough, and if they do, they are either not going to the right track, or just not going on the right night.
The facts are plain and simple: LS1 engines are the best engines to modify. Anyone wants to argue, be my guest.
Mstg05 said:We're talking 8 cyl cars, but since you asked for it; Go to a place where you can buy a car magazine and pick up the may 2005 issue of hot rod magazine and you can read a very small article on a 7 SECOND pro-charged 2002 trans am.
I've also seen a 10 second trans am with a d'agostino racing engine...all motor. Can't really prove that one to ya, but whatever. I know what I know and I know i've seen better times out of ls1 engine than 2 and 4v 281s
KXT said:yea theres some kmembers that are made for sbc motors. Doesn't the LS1 use the same motor mounts and bellhousing as the standard sbc
Sick96Stang said:You said the best engine to modify you didn't say the best 8 cylidner car. Yea it maybe 7 second does it have a full interior and AC though? Not sure on the boost I'm sure he could just turn it up and run 7's and still have full interior and AC. Rip out the interior and AC and all the other stuff he doenst have to have and I'm sure he could spank the 7 second trans-am. I can show u the clip of the all motor 9 second viper, if u want to hit me up on AIM or something. 4v 281 CI's most 03/04 cobras I see spank LS1's. How about Induction Motorsports 95 Turbo cobra? Runs 8.24 dont see many LS1's running with that. Again I stand by my statement that the 8.3L v10 dodge viper engine is the best engine to modify and is still getting better.
Mstg05 said:First of all I can garuntee you that you see more 281s and LS1s on the street than you do viper v-10 motors.
Whats the deal with it being full interior or not? Or wether it has a/c? What does that have to do with ANYTHING at all? A/C is an option, you don't have to have a/c and every car on the road does not have a/c. Even if it does have a/c you think thats gonna take 1 second off the 1/4 time?
You talk about full interior whats the big damn deal? 100 lbs= 1/10th. You figure 1 seat probably weights about 30 lbs depending on if its manual or electric, carpet probably weights 10 lbs or less, the back seats which is just foam and leather. If you gut the interior and take out the a/c your talking maybe 2/10ths. You are starting to get petty here, lets stick to the engines, please. I'm not doubting the ability of a 281, but numbers are numbers, and the fact of the matter is 350 (technically 346) CI is alot more than 281, thus being the reason why the ls1 is the better motor. So this all goes back to my orginial statement: There is no replacement for displacement.

In theory the 5.4 KB should produce way more power though, but it would take more to get that in. How big of a hood do you think would be needed? I have a 3inch cowl now.Sick96Stang said:I give the 03/04 cobra engine with KB and nitrousway up. There is a guy over on svtperformance named SVTdubs with a setup like that, coud ask him for some more info on it if needed. Cant beat the boost power of the 4v with nitrous assistance.
