    Get a 351W, TW top end, pop a T-trim on it, feed it a lot of E-85, and put it on a foxbody - easy and cheap. Can run single digits.
    that would be sick.

    He has a lot of money in that setup - lots of porting on the heads (labor) and a custom grind cam. Then he has 28" slicks with 4.56 rear gear means that you will either have to run some huge wheels and tires on the street, or will have to cruise at 60mph on the interstate - not fun to drive daily if you get on the interstate.

    He has QTP headers, and Stealth/BMR suspension - get ready to spend some money.

    507hp 433Tq = 10.3 sec for him in the 1/4, and he had to switch over to a faceplated T-56 tranny. You will run 12's with that setup. You could have done the same with the GTO.

    In the end, you will still get drug by a full weight, full interior, stock Mustang with a little blower on it. Or this will be car #5 that you back down with (that's more likely).

    So, you need to build a dedicated race car to be able to compete with my daily driver???
    This is going to be really funny when I drag your RACE CAR with my DD - and even worse if you back down with this next car!

    Honestly, you are going to need a turbo (or spray), and a set of good heads, if you are going with an LS1 in an F-body. All motor is not the way to go, it will cost you too much per cubic inch. If I was going all motor, it would be a BBC over a SBC. SBC, you need a power adder.

    Do a turbo LS1 with a TH400, and that will be streetable with some good power.

    But your racecar will still get drug by my daily driver.

    Yup I are aware lol for me I only like the ws6 and vette for aesthetics, I dont want an f-body other than the ws6 they are ugly IMO

    Too much money for that kit. You can have a shop custom fab you a kit for that money. just go with a single, and keep the cost down.
    Or you can get this: http://kentuckyturboandperformance.com/turbo.html


    Maybe I'll do a purpose built race car as well... I'm thinking B-cam with 175 dry shot....

    I don't have anything slow enough to race you with. Maybe I should buy a Volvo station wagon or a Dodge Caravan to drop back to your league and make it a fair race....

    I'm thinking that maybe I should pick up a 500 car, and just do the cheap junkyard mods on it. Those tend to be the most fun because you don't worry about trashing them.

    Well, we won't get the opportunity to find out, we will? I already know that you will back out again, like you have the last 4 cars. Let me know when you have something to run AND you are actually willing to run it. I don't think it will be anytime soon though.
