RE: Mustang VS. 350Z
i dont see any reason why a well built LS1 couldnt make 500hp, NA...
figure, my small valve 340 is 38 years old, and its pushing a 3700lb car down the track in the mid 12s on 9 to 1 compression..running pump gas..

and yes, i know that a computer calculator certainly isnt perfect by any means..but it gives you a rough idea...

Your car weighs about 3700 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 12.65 seconds. That means that you've got about 361.26 HP at the wheels, and about 469.64 HP at the flywheel.

LS1 in a 99 or newer f-body = around $10k to $13k
Heads = around $1500 to $2k
Cam = around $500 to $800
I dont know how much LS1edit goes for anymore but there is your tuning
Long Tube headers $600 to $1k

RE: Mustang VS. 350Z
man patrick, some of the best tuners in the country can't do that.
the stock 427 ls7 only puts out 550 with a tune,headers,intake.
I know the "goal" most people have with a cammed, intake, afr,fast manifold, is 500 hp.
I just realized maybe you are talking 500 fly.
YES that can be done with ease. I am at 540 Fly, with 364 cubic inches.

md you can pick up a 1998/97 c-5 (ls1) with 80k-100k on it for 16k.
a brand new LS2, with a cam, intake,tune, afr's,can be installed for about $13.5k.
So for 30k you can have a Corvette with a NEW engine with a 36/36 warrenty, that will SPANK a stock c-6.
