I got a homeboy that thinks a supercharged 408 fox cant beat a supercharged 383 camaro.. Both cars automatic, drag radials, fulltrim with ac, etc.. And 4.10 gears

Lol any ls1 camaro.. But the fox with a vortech t trim with a intercooler at 15 psi and the maro kenne bell he said with the same psi... To be honest, I think.the fox will take it hands down.. He is one.of those guys that think chevys will walk all over fords no.matter wat...

More to it thatn displacement, on a blower setup compression is the biggest factor.

Yeah, and a 383 all aluminum will be more efficient with a KB blower over a vortech. A vortech will run out of breath up top on a 408.

I'm not calling you a liar but find it hard to believe that your boy is running a Kenne Bell blower on an LS1. They don't even make kits for LS1 (except the C5 Vettes). The only PD blower kit available for 4th Gen F-Bodies is a custom kit using a Maggie setup. Now without getting technical, I think the the Fox would win because of: better power to weight ratio than the Camaro, bigger motor and the simple fact that centrifugal superchargers are more effecient than PD superchargers.

He was talking about a vortech on a 408. But if you have a 408 pushing 23+ lbs boost then [worship]

No offense taken, even being a GM guy and a Mustang enthusiast, your boy is off his rocker if he thinks that setup would kill your setup (even in a Vert). You know what, just for shits n' giggles you should let him think his setup would beat yours then build your car and video tape the race.

If were talking about displacement, same heads, cam, etc. Then the engine with a bigger displacement wins.

If either engines half-assed and isn't built for boost, you know who wins.

So this isn't a debate about mustang or chevy, it's a debate on a better engine. The 200 Lb difference in cars is negligent at 500+ HP.

Edit :

And by negligeible, I mean the fact that maybe one of them has a 6Spd, the other has a 5 Spd, little differences like that will win the race. So lets stop bench racing and track the fucker.
