How would a bolted and trifecta tuned LNF run with a bone stock 5.0? I ran one last night with my cam only LS1 (384 rwhp) and put 2 cars on it from 40 to 80ish and the faster I got the harder I started to walk. I really think my Balt could give one a run. What do you guys think?

stock new 5.0 yes , if it has no mods or tune or is a automatic stock. its still a toss up tho, GL they are not to bad in the 40 rolls. But with grip and boost you should murder it with your mods.

My stock turbo walked all over stock new 5.0's. Even on a dumbed down winter tune making 18psi

As long as its a roll you should be about even. If you're putting down a good 300whp, your weight to power ratio should be about the same as a stock 5.0.

The new 5.0's are slow. I lose to everything on the street.

Yes, a tuned lnf can beat a stock 5.0 from a roll. I've seen some 5.0's trap as low as 107mph and some as high as 113mph depending on the dragstrip.

A friend of mine just put a supercharger on his 5.0 and put down 573whp and I drove it and can say it's no slouch. Funny thing is 4 days later his tranny blew haha.

Well yeah what do you expect, putting down 573hp????

Balt_and_Vette

Just saying it pulled pretty nice lol. Haven't been in a stock stang other than a 500.

They are slow and over hyped. Even at the track

A bone stock 2011 went 12.2@117 on our local track here. Might actually hold the record. Wouldn't really call it a slouch, but maybe that's cause people over here know how to actually drive.

Take that back, went 12.29@115.41

ill say this, i put down 360whp when i was on 19psi and a fully bolted and tuned 5.0 that put down 420whp pulled me by alittle less then a car. it just started inching away after 130mph, i was surpriced specially when i walked a stock one by like 5+ cars.

a stock 6 speed puts down 375-385whp and 350-360wtq, and they weigh like 3600-3700lbs.

how are they slow?..lol

anyways, there are some videos around already(Dart-si) for sure has some..watch them.

Aaron...don't you know ss/tc's beat all of the newer 5.0 mustangs? The videos you posted are fake and that would never happen in the real world.

5.0s stock arent a big deal at all. but bolted and well tuned are no joke.

While that's some good driving i'd be willing to bet it's not stock. The MPH is way too high for a stocker. Ive seen stock 5.0's run 113mph in Cecil County Dragway's mineshaft november/december air...it doesn't get any better than Cecil's fall weather. We're talking 1000- below sea level conditions.

what are you talking about man?
i posted those videos because the cobalt got beat in all of them. i like my car, but i would have a powder blue 5.0 over it anytime..
i saw 11.9 on drag radials, intake and exhaust at my local track by 2 different guys. those cars are not slow...

But, the 3:31 geared ones are much slower, especially in an auto. Gotta get the sport/brembo pack with the 3:73 gears and 6 speed to kick ass..

slowstang

iTrader: (3)

Sarcasm. You missed it.

The auto's got 3.15 gears and are faster than the manuals 90% of the time. After a few bolt-on's the autos start to pull away from the manual even better. It takes a sticky tire high rpm launch/perfect run to outrun the 6a trans. My brothers 100% bone stock auto car went a 12.51 at 113.7. After a tune, off road h-pipe, catback, weld rt-s rims, and air filter it clicked off an 11.7 at 119mph.

My car is a 3.31 6m with an x-pipe, catback, air filter, and tune. I just managed a 12.3 at 117mph this past saturday.

Every video that told the mods list has the Mustang as not stock... Did anyone say that a T/C will take a bolt on tuned 5.0?

AARON-SS-TC

sorry, thats all the videos i could find. most people have at least exhaust mods on a mustang.

We know there's always out of the norm kinda like u and i. But for the most part I see bone stock ones going low 13s with only a 105-107 trap. Only a little better than the SS camaros. I ran one with intake exhaust tune and radials and still beat him. Left him at the tree as well
