I agree, it would be much easier to put a 514 crate motor in a mustang. It would be alot faster too! The SS induction doesn't really add much of anything over the Z28. All the LS1 owners know that, but I do like the way the hood looks over the reg. Z. The airbox's are the exact same on both cars also. My car is an automatic, all stock right done to the air filter. But I've also heard of some LS1's dyno'ing 280, so I think it just depends on the car and the dyno, but most that I have seen have dyno'd 300+rwhp stock, especially the 2002's. Yeah Crank and Chrome's dyno numbers have always been really low on most of the things they've dyno'd, stangs etc...I think GM's Big block "crate" motors are pretty sorry. One of the shows did a dyno test on Ford, chevy, and another BB. And this was the RAM JET 502, the brand new one, supposedly rated at 510hp? it dyno'd at like 345rwhp?, and the ford 460 I think was like 495rwhp?. Those numbers are pretty close I think, it's been a while since I've seen the show. But I would asolutely love to have a 514 crate motor, 600+hp ahhhhhh.....I think the "PERFECT CAR" would be a Cobra Replica with a carbed 514+a Tremec TKO II. Something like 2100lbs. and 600+hp , mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

I had a pretty long post written, and then I was like what is the point of arguing about this? Then I went back and just put Blah, blah, blah.
