> yea that car runs strong i love it! dyno’s are just good for a base line and estimate on power but a good devide to tune the way ur vehicle runs. 500whp NA in most cars will get you in 10’s and im talking sports cars, not a 1950’s led sled. we all have full race weight cars for the most part, i was just sayn a ls1 can make 500 with head cam and mayb and intake and run 10s with full interior and supporting mod such as a 12b or 9. i dont know of many head cam mustangs intake mustangs at full weight running times like that, and yes i know a fox is light and awesome but a stock fox body 5.0. h/c/i in the 10s?(im only talking stock b/c 99% of us have stock/factory motors)

H/C/I in 10’s with a foxbody I have seen, but it takes some weight removal and spinning the stock shortblock pretty high. A 60’s design 5.0 engine is not really a fair comparison to a newer tech LS1 that has more cubes and better flowing heads stock. There are 351 powered foxbodys in the LOW 10’s NA with 351w and 351c based engines. There are actually some 351c powered foxbodys in the low 10’s with STOCK heads still.

10.59@126 with a stock bottom end and all off the shelf parts…
