As far as your mustang gt comment, why stop at the procharger. Hell go ahead and add NOS, strip the interior of everything but the drivers seat, put some drag slicks on the back. I could go on and on. You can mod anything if you got the money. I'll put my buddies Miata with a stroked 5.0L in it against a procharged mustang. Evolution Performance has their GT500 in the low 10's with their mods. So keep reading your mags and believeing everything you read, because you know if it's written down, it must be true.

Z06: $75,000, 3130 LBS without driver
11.40 1/4 ... couple tenths better with Drag radials.
GT500: $60,000 maybe $65, 3920 without driver
Low 12's stock, high 11's with Drag radials.
up the boost, good tune, drag slicks... good exhaust, maybe ported heads.. and you'll be deep into the 11's...
Still cheaper than Z06...
Add boost to the LS7 and caboom! 11.0:1 compression.
Gt500 8.5:1
With bolt-ons, the GT 500 is more pwerful and faster than a Z06.... and cheaper.
Granted, you can do the same with a regular GT, built engine, and a whipple.. for much cheaper... but it's not a Shelby!

[QUOTE=rafa26]
i agree totally. a year ago i was changing to 4v. now with newer porting and valve replacement techniques, 3v is approaching 4v close enough to reach my personal hp goals. anyone in theis forum is simply JDM, or livernois stage 2+ heads and cams away from 400+hp. a boosted 9 sec stock cammed mustang should be proof enough. rumors are that for may use a larger intake valve version in the upcoming BOSS mustang. just rumors though.
good ported 4v = 315cfm@.550 in/ 240+ exhaust @ .550
good ported 3v = 282cfm@.550 in/ 207 exhaust @ .550
obviuosly that's not GT heads, or fr500, and the numbers are representative. fugure the percent difference, and it's not really that much.
another comparo is a 05 gt bolt on reaches 300whp barely. an 04 mach1 reaches 325rwhp with non-cam bolt-ons. typically. different cams make a difference. anyway his decision to use 3v is based on sound principles.

The 3V head is literally in the middle. It makes great low end torque AND great high rpm power. Dealing with the new Mustangs, I've seen the performance and the potential of the 3V head, and it rocks. If I were doing a scratch built custom motor for a killer hp Lightning and money was no object, it would definitely be a 3V head."

i'm not sure you guys are thinking power to weight. johhny lightning 2v trucks are running nines. rafa will have significantly more power. also more weight.
4436lbs. for the truck that runs 9.99@136. add a couple hundred hp and 600lbs and he is still faster.
rafa will run nines with ease. that puts him ahead of ever viper or z06 without MAJOR mods.
