But still for the amount of work to make a fox faster than an ls1 camaro is alot and not to say if you do the same mods to an ls1 the fox would look pathetic. Plain and simple ls1's have a better engine design and can maximze power better.
its funny when people say do the same mods to a ls1 or mustang and ls1 handsdown. Ls1 stock is way better than a mustang stock, but when you start modding them, mustangs take way better to mods than ls1, go to the track and tell me how many 12 second ls1's you see, and then walk up to all the 13 second ls1's out there and see all the work they have into there motor and there only running 13 or low 12's and then get back at us.

Are you kidding me ?.. All it takes is a Longtube'd Fbody and someone who knows how to drive. Shit, ive seen non longtube fbodys doing high 12s. I trapped 113 in my old longtube only ws6. Ls1's handle bolt ons WAY more than a mustang
I love mustangs but thats a dumb statement. If Fbodys had a decent rearend it would be game over. I had a cam longtube ws6(411rwhp) that just slayed mustangs and even hung door to door with ported blower cobras.
With a properly setup mustang and a driver who can DRIVE his car, a bolt on ls1 is a healthy race. But dont take credit away from an fbody because they run hard too

Good lookin bro, I'm glad someone on here that actually knows there shit spoke up. The amount of LS equipped F-bodies that I've encountered make 400hp easy as you stated and take way better to boltons than the 5.0's. There's no doubt that a bolt on 4th gen will hang if not beat a stock 03/04 Cobra, I've seen it countless times.

Haha the never ending debate! If i swapped a bolt on ls1/ls6 in a fox it would walk all bolt for bolt ford powered fox bodys. How many 347 strokers are even cracking the 400rwhp mark ?

Thanks tony
And ls1s are just to good of motors my boy ran a 12.3 with just full exhaust cold air and a lil 3500 stall on a droptop no weight reduction or suspension and must say its gonna be running a lot harder now but a ls1 n/a can keep up or beat to mustangs that have power adders seen it multiple times with just bolt ons not even cammed

My exact point, for a n/a mustang to see that kind of power it would basically have to have a whole different engine setup...ie stroker kit and much more

Can't lie about LS motors hauling ass, we all know this. But for me the looks just kill everything, those things are ugly ass hell. Would never take one over my 66 mustang or my cobra, yea they might be slower but look damn sexy lol. Again can't talk shit about the LS motors but we can about the body's

I'm not arguing that there not easy to get 400 horsepower out of them, but that don't translate to well on the track or the streets. i had 330 horsepower in my mustang and never came close to losing to a cam\longtube ls1, DYNO numbers don't win races. Like i said, just go to the track and see in REAL LIFE how many fast ls1 camaro's are out there, and then if you find one ask him what he has done to it, you'll be surprised. Don't get me wrong camaro's are nice cars, I had one before and plan on getting another one and just enjoying it stock, but as in modding cars, i'll stick to mustangs

You guys are compairing technology. The ls1 is ahead in than the 5.0l. Compare the same technology they had in a 90 Camaro to 90s fox.. Now you can say that one is better than the other.
Obviously a car built 12 years later, is going to be leaps and bounds ahead of an outdated vehicle.
My cold air, catback 1999 C5 went 12.96 @ 109 with stock run flats.. Wierd how that was faster than my 1990 HCI fox.. Ohh yeah is 9 years newer.
