The sooner you care less and less about your own cars, the happier you will be in life. Trust me on this, I used to argue about it all the time, and try and defend any and all cars. Now I simply mod/enjoy what I have, and let everyone else do the same.
BTW, I have fun with stock LS1 cars, the few times I have challeneged or been challenged by them. Two of my best races were with LS1s.
i had a 99 SS, and im sorry but are you really comparing interior quality of a fox to an SS? And im sorry but a true dual LS1 sounds ****in badass, just gotta get rid of the y pipe bull****. And i can see how working on a LSx series is difficult if you arent proficient with tools, no worse than a modular or big block though
I meant the plastic peices crack very easily and ALOT of rattles and things falling off, the 92 fox is solid. I had to have like 2 swivels and 3 extensions to change spark plugs, half the motor is under the dash. I love working on cars and been doing it for a while, just always hated that d*** camaro.
Don't rag me plz, I'm still learning. but what is a 331? is it a stroked 302?
Can of worms....more like a can of fire ants!!! LOL....but my buddy's 96 LT1 A4 with 3.73's, a cat-back and shiftkit runs 14.1's at 99MPH. Street tires, 2.1-2.2 60 ft.
Lol
It's a fun, easy to work on simple little motor to work on for a hobby like this, but facts are that technology has produced many engines lately that are superior.
Which would be roughly a 9.0 in the 1/8th. Sounds about right now given it's 15 years old. Every stockish 5.0 I've ever seen runs in the 14.7 to 15.3 range.
Comparing a Fox 5.0 to an LT1/LS1, is about as fair as comparing an LS1/LT1 to the Ford GT...the Fox 5.0 was kicking tail from 86-93. It was walking the 305 auto TPI and keeping up with the manual 305 TPI. The only car that was showing its tail lights to the Fox were the 350 TPI IROCs and the Corvettes. The Corvette is in another league so even that is an unfair comparison. Keeping it real, the Fox has the aftermarket on its side and it's user friendly. The LT1/LS1 are indeed superior stock to stock but we buy cars for what we can do to them and the aftermarkets got the Mustangs back...

LOL, you've never done an H/C/I on an LS1 have you? Dont even need new heads, port the stockers, decent cam, and intake with some longtubes and you'll make more power N/A than what a 5.0 needs a power adder for
yea u dont really need aftermarket heads when a factory one flows over 300 CFM
5L5, you know you make a great point. anyone to walk around saying there 5.0 is the best there is, is ridiculous. these late 2000's cars are outstanding, and quite frankly I hate it.

Good point. But those parts are gonna cost over 4G's and you're not installing those with the engine in the car. So if you don't have a garage, a car lift, a ton of tools, and some time on your hands you're gonna end up taking it to a shop. Most shops won't touch that kind of work and the ones that do are gonna charge at least 2 G's for the labor involved. Let's not forget the tuning. For that same 6 G's you can get a 351 stroked to 390 or 408 cubes with a top end kit, and headers. Most backyard mechs can handle that install in a couple days. And the Fox weighs a lot less than the Z28's...LOL, you've never done an H/C/I on an LS1 have you?
