What kind of times is the 6.0 turbo car running, ET, 60 foot, MPH? Is he auto or 6 speed? Turbo is the only way to go if you want to drag race and win. If you are mainly worried about drag racing I would say go with a large single. But you can make good power either way.
There are a lot of variables here. If he has 800 horse power but is pulling 2.0 60 foot times then work on your suspension. Strong motor with good suspension that runs consistent could take the win.
Are you going to run an auto or six speed. Hope you got money playa. Turbo 6.0 in a probably 3,200 lbs mustang is one bad bitch.

I completely disagree with this statement.
I'd like to point out that John Urist, owner of Hellion performance turbo kits, runs a Procharger, racing.
Just saying.

i dont wanna be a debbie downer but it sounds like u want to spends a crap load of money just so you dont lose $500.00. I would just say hell with the race,build the car the way you want to and enjoy it. Anyone can just throw a 6.0 with a turbo they are a dime a dozen here in va but a clean mod swap in a fox is not something you see everyday.

This. You're gonna have to spend a freakin' ton of money on a 4v to keep up with an LS turbo anything. It just is what it is.
I just always make fun of them because they still have pushrods. Haha.

Hopefully they realized that being faster than everything doesn't matter when it's over a $500 race

I think one of the big factors here was cost

Yea cost is a big factor, but if you get a proper setup with some Good tuning you can be up there. A lot of times tuning is KEY. I know guys with identical setups but different tune and numbers are way apart.

Oh absolutely. Thing is, you can take a 5.3 out of the junkyard with a mediocre turbo and minimal tuning and hit the low side of that. A built 6.0 is only going to have more potential.
Unfortunately it's still a GM product and therefore lame. Haha. And it's like the easy way out in my opinion.
I hope no one thinks I'm just trolling. Haha. I just think most of us have seen the power a boosted LS makes versus a modular motor with respect to money spent.

yes you got a point there. I just think its funny that GM guys have to use bigger displacement engines.
Just saying
Just sayingIf ford would put some F'n cubes in a mod motor we would destroy GM. Jon Kaase just won the Amsoil Engine Masters competition with a 409 cubic inch mod motor. Thing was awesome.

The idea of cubic inches being best is old school thinking, especially if the car is turbocharged. Take ford's 3.7L v6 at 305 hp on 87 octane gas. The replacement for displacement if engineering.
Chev LS motor's relatively cheap, especially the iron block versions out of the trucks.

Old school thinking lol. What do you drive an EVO? Cubic inches bring torque and drivability on naturally aspirated motors. You can turbo a Briggs and Stratton and make stupid power. Not talking about 428 cubic inch BB, talking about a 5.8 liter in the mustang naturally aspirated. You know that motor that makes 662 HP with a blower in the 2013 GT500. Be an LS smokin monster in a GT naturally aspirated.
Funny thing is, you guys are agree with each other.
