Hey Z1. ETA on those headers?

brucelidat · 03-20-2014, 02:45 PM

yeah, drag vs a 5.0 won't be pretty for us, haha. on the topic of the thread, has anyone new installed and dyno'ed these?

Lol, not since a while ago!

But I have new wheels and tires! Just don't have the car right now... LOOOOOL!

You really should take my car to the dyno when I'm at work if you wanna get it dyno'd sooner than later

I don't think I'll do headers unless the gains are really impressive which I doubt at this point. Too much install costs. Even Seb says it's not worth it, and he'd be the one making money off of me for it.

Both of which also have metric fucktons more power than a Z as well, so it's a pretty waterheaded comparison.

brucelidat · 03-20-2014, 05:52 PM

It's funny how a Z forum sometimes makes me think I should go test drive a 5.0, haha. I imagine the power feels awesome, but the handling dynamics (though we know it's faster than a Z) will feel different and probably not as nice.

It FEELS like a boat, but the acceleration is fast, but like a boat as well. At least stock it feels that way.

In a private convo with Chuck, he informed me that a stock 5.0 is faster around one of the Willow tracks than an M3. It probably took a hell of a driver to do that, but it tells you that it is still very capable

Yeah, C&D put up the lap times a few years back. It was eye-opening for a lot of people who thought nothing with a solid rear could turn.

brucelidat · 03-20-2014, 06:21 PM

I read that article, I thought the m3 beat it out by .1 seconds or so with the pro-driver. I think the reporter was faster in the 5.0 though. I don't want to drive a boat, though, even if it's a fats one. Plus, looking at it does nothing for me. I do want to feel the acceleration, though.

martin82 · 03-20-2014, 08:25 PM

what was the time on that 5.0 btw...?

martin82 · 03-21-2014, 12:48 AM

I don't see actual lap times didn't check that much in depth but even stock I really haven't seen a 5.0 go faster than m3 in any track in SoCal w similar driver experience

i've done pretty well against muscle cars to far.

only going to get better now that my diff. bushing is in.

Mike · 03-22-2014, 07:33 PM

also, my 5.0 13 mustang with an auto felt slower than my V6 frontier that replaced it.

Boss_302 · 03-23-2014, 08:31 AM

Its amazing how much better the newer Mustangs handle compared to the old Fox body.
Ford finally got it right with the 3-link rear suspension and panhard rod. Chevy had done this years before they went independent on the Camaro . The other thing is there was so much flex in the Fox body chassis. After I welded in full frame connectors it stiffed the chassis up 100%. I could actually lift 3 wheels off the ground while jacking one side. I also notice how much more solid the car felt on road and the difference in handling. With all the suspension work I had into the car I could now put the car anywhere.

Joepro · 03-23-2014, 09:49 AM

Drive what you like...there is a guy with a vw bettle and a neon that will annihilate just about any street car that is not in the 10s...I dont like mustangs, my turboed , Z loves them

. Anyway I will be dynoing my 370 with a bp kit and these headers if they do not help like they did with the momentum kits they coming off and I will return to the original kit design instead of my modified version and someone can have a lightly used set a a killer price...but they look great in the engine bay....
