ive had both a H/C/I 5.0 and a 383 LT1, and it goes both ways. in the stang the Fbodys want it, in the Camaro the stangs want it. its just natural.

I have to disagree. I have a ton of Mustang friends and have to say that when I'm in their cars, very few F-bodies try to mess around, but when I'm in the vert a ton of Mustangs try to mess.

I once had a guy in an 08 mustang gt weave through large amounts of traffic to get next to me while i was just minding my own business on the way to the north meet. I had previously done a full throttle on ramp entrance that he apparently heard :). He yelled "sounds good man" out his window to me. He fell back behind me and we cruised for a few miles until I got off. The guy was in his 30s. Its mostly young mustang owners that are the problem.

the only thing they try to race is my truck... they cant even beat that

LuvMyF8LWS6 10-12-2010 09:24 AM

I own both.... And I have gotten more LT/LS1's wanting to ***k with my 4 valve than the other way around.... lol Then again, my LS1's hardly ever see the road, so that could be why lol

monte383sbc 10-12-2010 01:11 PM

i still dont know if i hate the mustang or mustang owner more? thats a hard decision.....

plus they had to add a extra cam and more valves and still cant hold a stock ls1 hehehehe dam mustangs

IMO, ford over-engineered the 4.6, and had less then desirable numbers compared to the relativly simple design of the LT/LS block, but it seems that Ford always over-engineered their engines in the 90's.
I do wish GM followed Ford in creating aluminum heads for the 3.8's, and factory shorty headers, but then again, why should I complain when in the end my engine makes 45 more hp from the factory compared to the 3.8 from Ford, AND we have a strong aftermarket backing.

And I don't hate teh mustang as a car, there are a few I wish to own, its the owners who I don't fancy that much.

Close, their's came steel tubing, and for the first style of L36's, we got rediculously restrictive manifolds.

I remember one thing that my dad once told me after i told him a story about raping some mustangs on the road. "Just because you have all that power, doesnt mean you have to prove it to them everytime" I took that advice for the most part. i dont go challenging people. usually its the other way around. If i think itll be a good one, i might partake, but 90% of the time when they [hondas, mustangs and other slow cars] roll up next to me and try to race, the thumbs down and laugh

:rofl: :rofl: I did the thumbs down to a Evo back in 07 when I went up to the chatterbox with my friend. On the way back down, around Waretown a black evo rolls up to me, makes his BOV hiss a few times at me. I look over, and see this gel-head and his what appeared to be an underage girlfriend looking over at us with a "what-you-gonna-do" face. I acted like I was going to give him a thumbs up, but just like the romans, it quickly was turned upside down. To say the least, his girl starts laughing hard as hell, and his duck face turned into a ****-you face. So Joey Juicehead decides to fall back a few feet, and take off like an ass hat, only to get off at exit 63. Best drive home ever from a meet or car show haha

2000 and above 3.8 f-bodies had tubular manifolds!!

Consider this.. A 1996 3.8 camaro made 200 hp stock! A 1996 GT mustang made 215hp stock!!

Yeah, that's why I said the early versions (first style) of our cars got the restrictive ones, as to where that 1994 3.8 mustang I worked on had tubular manifolds on it, and aluminum heads. HOW could 3100,3400, and 3500 series motors get aluminum heads, but the 3.GREAT's got cast, and nothing more until ZZP finally came out with a set..... and yeah we were close on HP, if only GM spent more time on the intake side of the heads to make them flow better, our gas mileage would be so much better ( not that its already not that bad), and we would have a little more power to play with. The downside is the torque, we are making 225ft. lbs, compared to 305ft. lbs, but what do you excpect, ewre V6's. But just like you said, 215? weren't Fox bodies getting 10 more HP from the show room floor stock?

The 1993 GT mustang was making 205hp stock! 94-97 Gt's had 215 and 98 had 225.

There is nothing wrong with cast iron heads. My V6 with ported stock heads and a ported stock intake with a nitrous cam made 225 rwhp on a pretty much stock tune. Thats not bad. Now with HP tuners and better and bigger cams out there for the 3.8's I have seen 260-300 rwhp all motor!

Work with what you have! If you want to build your V6 then dont waste the money on aluminum heads just get a stock set of heads for 100.00 or less and port the **** out of them! I also saw that they make Longtube headers now for the V6! When I built mine the only headers out there were the crappy RKsport shorty headers..
