Whats it take to run low 13's?

Whats it take to keep up with a very lightly bolt on'ed LS1 from a roll????




Edit: Oops.. forgot to mention that I'm basing this question off stock 5.0's with manual trans.

A good h/i/c combo, very low (atleast 3.73's) set of gears out back, full exhaust, all the bolt-ons, et streets, one hell of a good driver, and last but not least a lot of luck (to walk an LS1 that is).

Cheap:
Comp cam matched with Edlebrock Performer intake and AFR 185 heads with 3.73s and a short throw.

Low 13's in a mustang is pretty easy with just exhaust, a 3.73 gear and bolt-ons.

We're talking about 5.0 Foxbodies here....

You want a pretty cheap way to outrun LS1's? JYTT baby. ALl it takes is a set of 200 dollar shorties, flip em upside down, cut the header flanges off with a chop saw, weld on a T3 flange, throw 2 junk yard T3's on there, rig up some piping and go to an intercooler if you want (powerstroke with new end tanks and cut down works nice) and get a good tune or swap to a carb and you'll run those LS1's down Can be done for a bit over a grand if you know how to barter.

JYTT good stuff but you gotta know what your doing with turbos not everyone does not saying anyone doesn't though. Id say I/H/E gears 3.73s and a cam should do it good light wheels and tires never hurt either.

Look to about a grand for the heads, maybe five hundred for the intake and two hundred and fifty for the cam. Or you can just do a mild port job on the E7TEs or whatever set of heads you got and spray the mofo.

i have a 89 GT do i have the E7TE's
How do you identify the type of heads you have?
are they the best ones for stock?
and what do you mean by spraying like a coating inside the ports?

If you have a 5.0, yes.

Pull off the head. There should be a casting number.

Compared to the 82 heads and 85 heads, yeah. But marginally.

and what do you mean by spraying like a coating inside the ports?

When anyone uses the term 'spray' and liberally at that, he or she probably means using the 'nitro' (lol) and juicing your car with like a 100 shot or something.
