Ok ok...back on topic. I notice alot of LS1 guys go the route of stalled auto...and after having one I can say for sure that they give the stick shift guys a nasty time. BUT...rarely do I find a stalled auto 4.6 car. I know of a local guy with a stalled auto Mach1 that is pretty nasty...but what gives...are the stang autos weak? Or just so happens 95% of the 4.6 crew likes the 5spd?..

RE: LS1s...

I agree that I should have been a little faster...but I dont know of very many STOCK 3,000 stalled A4s with factory 2.73s or3.23s that can pull 12.7s... Maybe with headers and gears as well...Nor have I seen very many STOCK A4s run 13.1...but hey...you ran strong...I would bet you were not STOCK other than the stall. If thats the case...you had a stall but you had a factory cat-back?...No lid?...No gears?... Who runs a stalled auto with no bolt ons?... [sm=feedback.gif]

My 3k Stalled 98 Z28 ran 12.70 all day long. You should've been close to a 13.1-3 stock.
ORIGINAL: SStompU
Maybe you didnt notice I just swapped trannys. My 13.1 was on a stalled auto....now I have a 6 Speed. Have never been to the track on the 6 Speed and have nothing to go by. But hey...I hope I run better than 12.5 too. Maybe you Mustang guys are just conditioned for disappointment, but I would rather hope for 12.5s and have 11.9s then hope for 11.9s and have 12.5s....Just tell me what Cam/Bolt-On 4.6s run and I will subtract afull second fromthat number.

How much did it cost me to run my current N/A time? I don't know how to answer that. If I were just N/A, I wouldn't need a built S/B, rear end, clutch, or anything like that. I think I could make my car faster if I just concentrated on running N/A. ALOT of the money in this car is just to keep it in one peice when I'm on the 200 shot.
H/C/I + full bolt on + gear/tire and there you go I guess.
I hope to goodness your car runs quicker than 12.50's, even on street tires.

ZW99 how much did it cost you to go that fast na? if i remember right your the one with the stroked 4.6 correct?
ORIGINAL: ZW99GT
I have a 99 GT with a stock 4.6 block thats capable of showing you it's tail lights. What does this SS run at the track?
My 1/8 mile all motor time from yesterday is in my signature. I'm sure you could pull me pretty hard up top N/A vs N/A, but I'm not always running around on just the motor

For the record I thought those numbers sucked,andIdont really care. I was "tuning"...not doing it for a number.
To the guy whos woman wants him to get the Z28....your reaction should be a very good one!
The only track time I have so far was from a Lid/Cat-Back run with a 3600 converter&tires. Still on 3.23 gears. 13.1 @ 103 **The car is now a 6 Speed, Longtube Headers, Cam, Lid, ORY-Catback** Once the 4.10s are in I am hoping for 12.5s maybe...
............stirring the pot......

RE: LS1s...
Stock mustang autos arent that great but if you have a built auto with a built 4.6 they are pretty nasty but i prefer shifting myself

So I take it you are all out of witty things to say?...[sm=wootwoot.gif]

RE: LS1s...
hey SStompU... do you know the ratios for 1st-4th gear on the SS 6 speed? my friend has an SS and i'm trying to help him pick out a set of rear-end gears, he does a lot of highway driving but doesn't seem to care too much about gas mileage. he wants something that'll be good for the 1/4 mile (just minor bolt-ons, no cams or head work or anything like that).

my car can beat stock LS1s from a roll, never raced one from a dig. Although I have only raced them from a roll 2-3 times. One of them at least had a catback.
Maybe they were autos, maybe they were idiots, I dunno.

RE: LS1s...
so 5th and 6th gears are both overdrive gears? my old Camaro was an auto so i'm not familiar with the 6 speed tranny, but i guess i was under the impression that 5th gear was 1.00:1 and 1-5 were closer ratio than most 5 speed transmissions. do you have any links to online stores that you prefer to buy your parts from? he just got his car and i never bought any aftermarket stuff for my Camaro (drunk teenage girl rear-ended me and totalled it out 3 months after i bought it
