OLS108 Member 42 Member For: 19y 5m Location: Redcliffe Posted 15/06/05 06:08 AM Share Posted 15/06/05 06:08 AM nice numbers with the $$ spent I am not a ford fan and I drive an LS1 but I dont care what makes more power its about 1/4 times to me and both LS1's and XR6T have good runs on the board just think where we were 5 years ago with "tunned ls1's" making 210rwkw with high flow mafs and ported TB and now cars can make 260rwkw with just exhaust and tune so just a good sign to where you guys will be in a couple of years.

These figures intrigue me.Edit, Injectors, centre muffler removed, Xtra air intake that's about it I had the Xede fitted prior to the Edit and all we could get out of her was 225RWKW When stock it was 180RWKWAly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewBytes Member 95 Member For: 21y 5m 1d Location: Canberra Posted 15/06/05 12:00 PM Share Posted 15/06/05 12:00 PM several had super charges on their 7 litre V8's and making between 245 and 300 RWKWlol - yeah, right. A 7 litre (427) makes 320 rwkw with a 226 cam, approx 350-370 rwkw with a cam in the 240's, and 400 rwkw+ with a big cam. Add a blower and get anything from 600+. In case you hadn't noticed, they are 5.7 litres stock.Why would any ones jaw drop for 258 rwkw? Un-opened LS1's have been doing that for ages. There are 3 or 4 un-opened LS1's with 270 odd rwkw pulling 11's, current record being 11.73 I think it was.You guys crack me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 8m 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 15/06/05 12:04 PM Share Posted 15/06/05 12:04 PM I think a LS1 with a blower is not stock.What the comparison was the ammount of $$'s spent to gain the KW'sThe LS1's need to spend a lot more money to get the same KW.I dunno where the 427 came into it, but I am sure a Ford 460 could also make the same as a 427.

DrewBytes Member 95 Member For: 21y 5m 1d Location: Canberra Posted 15/06/05 01:16 PM Share Posted 15/06/05 01:16 PM (edited) Someone's got to stir the pot occasionally A stallie, as is diff gears, is still un-opened, as the motor hasn't been touched.Both vehicles make good gains with little mods. Of course anything with FI is easy to get power out of, it's just a simple matter of upping boost a little, as long as everything else can cope. But there comes a point where you need to change stuff also as the factory normally doesn't give you much room to move on injectors, fuel pumps etc. Edited 15/06/05 01:18 PM by DrewBytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys here with 350+ rwkw's would be comfortably in 11's.Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
