I raced a 5.0 lastnight...

Him...
Catback
LTs
Tune
Gears
Manual

Me...
Tune
LTs
Catback
Tstat
Intake
Auto

I won by a half a length, but by all rights he should have won but he couldn't drive. It just goes to show unless your grossly overpowered by a modded 5.0 it's all a drivers race.

Either you haven't a clue as to what the "search" option is all about or you're just kicking the ant mound. Either way, feel free to stop now

feel free to go to a mustang forum.


i spend a lot of time at the track and i have never seen a new V6 camaro or mustang run drop 7/10's with just a tune, not to mention it was not even a dyno tune??

not in our heat and humidity anyway. seems like the ones mainly claiming this are non camaro owners on this site. no need to be a smart ass with the answers either. im not some newbee to the car scene. im a member of the mustang forums too and i also own a mustang

Why is that always the default answer when someone doesnt want to admit or confront the real point?

Well, he is referring to the claim that the 5.0 with a tune is worth 7/10ths in the quarter mile. That's the equivilant of about 70 hp. I'm not saying it's not true, but seriously, think about that. If and when I see it in person then I'll believe it, until then it's just something some guy said on a forum. I love the fact there are so many defenders of the great 5.0 here. God forbid someone say something they deem as not true. Seriously, who gives a chit if they are talking crap about the SS on a Mustang forum. I means seriously, WGAS??

The .7 gain was on an auto equipped car and as many of you members know the factory puts limitations on power output especially in the lower gear like torque management, soft rev limiter's that close the TB 500 rpm early, slow shifting, ect. It didnt gain 70 peak hp but I bet it the tune picked up about 50hp in the mid range of the lower gears.

A custom dyno tune on an auto could easily pick up .7 in the 1/4 mile once you delete all the factory nanny's limiting power and then go to work with all the cam timing adjustments and raise the redline to 7,300rpm.

There is way more to a tune the peak numbers and I dont see why a L99 couldn't do the same with a dyno tune.
