A disheartened 4.6L owner

[11secondGT]

You guys are posting that the 5.0l is an outdated platform and that the 4.6 is better. Perfect example. I have 95 GT, freind has a 98 GT. Both cars were high 15 second cars at 94 mph stock. Both got headers, off road x pipe, flowmasters, cold air kits pulleys, and gears. The 95 runs 13.3's and .4's at 103.5 and the 98 runs 14.3's at 97. Now, you tell me what is outdated and technologically advanced about a motor that for the same mods and money makes a third of the gain!!!!

Not to mention that 95 GT runs nose to nose with a 96 cobra that has the same mods (gears, pulleys, exhaust). That is a twin cam 320hp motor. I did the work on all three cars, I race all three cars at the track and the 95 is the nastiest most impressive of them!

The 4.6l has a lot to show before it can even be looked at on the same level as a 5.0. Take a lesson from GM. The new LS1 is a push rod motor that in stock form that in a ws6 goes 12.9 at 109.7 on drag radials. Oh yeah, I have made a few passes with that car. Not to mention my 87 5.0l GT that goes 10.87@127 on a 275 Drag Radial.

The push rod motor is the only way to go!!!!!
