wonder what's up his sleeve

I don't understand this statement. Why wouldn't he win? A 347 with ported aluminum heads and a 150 shot?!?!

If ford would have put good breathing aluminum heads on the 302 to start with(like gm did to the lt1 and ls1) then I think stock, it would be a close match to start with between the lt1 and 302. Both cars are modded so you can throw those stock hp figures out the window. A camaro is not going to gain as much hp as a mustang with a head change because the lt1 had good heads to start with, the mustang did not.

Another thought, the ls1 is faster in the quarter than the dohc. You add a blower to both and the dohc gains more hp. Why? Because lately gm has been modding the cars stock, which I think is absolutely great! The ls1 is riding the edge of longevity, stock 10.5:1 compression. I wondered why ford hadn't been doing that until I started pricing the two.. Mustang $24k, LS1 $27k and up. No kidding, a 2002 T/A is $32k!!

We are talking about a 347 with ported alum. heads and a 150 shot. The only thing I'd be worried about is hooking up.

Bro, you hook up and he will never catch you..

What year is the camaro??
