ok, me and my buddy have been having this on going war about who's car is going to be faster when we get them built, i'll lay down all the details of both our cars and let you guys elaborate some.


my car: 89 Trans Am clone

355 cid

scat crank and rods, srp flat top pistons rated at 10.5 cr
brodix race right 200cc heads 67cc combustion chamber, 2.055'' Int/1.600'' Exh Valves
brodix single plain intake, speed demon 750cfm, lunati bracket master II cam 109 lobe sep., 292 dur. .480" lift, msd everything, hooker lt's, nos sniper kit set at 125 shot and 373 gears mated to a t56

his car: 95 mustang gt

stock bottom end, stock heads, e-303 cam, cobra intake, bbk lt's, slp loud mouth, msd box, pro charger d1b at 12-15psi, 42lb injectors, t-5 and stock gear

 

Quit wasting time talking about it to each other, and get in the garage and build those suckers!

 

im going to at the end of the month, its just time that i lack because of work. same ordeal for him. but i can't wait til its done.

 

You'll deff put out more power than his engine, but with his supercharger you'll have to be careful w/out nos, if your running spray, congrats on a stang kill

 

the guy should go forged with the supercharger, but oh well

 

i would love to see the stang run at 15#s w/ a stock bottom end.

 

actually stock bottom end and no head work, this guys not going anywhere but on the back of a tow truck fast

 

I have seen mid 10 second 550 rwhp cars on non forged bottem ends in these cars before. Not saying his will be fine, but the right tune and such and it wont necessarily blow up...

As far as who will make more power, his car should be in the 400 rwhp range.

 

The stock internals on a 5.0 are all forged from the factory. Those motors love boost.

It is too hard to predict an outcome for motors that don't exist. There are simply too many variables to even make an educated guess.

 

yeah as long as its not to far above 400rwhp, it should be fine for alittle while. just dont beat on it constantly and it should last for alittle while

 

Didnt the '95 come with the 4.6 liter, i know the 5.0s love boost but i know nothing about the newer engine...anyways i dont see how a stock bottom end can hold 15 psi... again though, i dont know mustangs.

Trey

 

the newer 4.6s respond well to mods but respond better to boost! lol

 

The 5.0 roller motors were forged until 1993. From 1993-1995 they werent, and then the switch to the 4.6 in 1996 brought back forged internals!

I will say hard to predict, build them and have fun!
