8 Second Turbo CHEVY-STANG Sweeps Street Class!

Not only does this Fox have your everyday, run of the mill LSX swap...these guys strapped on an 88mm TURBO and decided to run high 8's in the 1/4 mile to seal the Street Racer Class victory at BOTH SCT Nashville and SCT Indianapolis events! These junkyard 5.3L swaps never get old, check this thing out!

[@heyyosteve3322]

He was trigger off the green light! As soon as the light was about to turn green he was already in the motion of getting up and going he's perfect at it!

Wonderful launch at the end!

[@jonathanhudson4623]

That last race with the WS6 looked alot like my 02 WS6 6 speed. I'm about to hit 60k miles in my car. It's running 10.8s@127mph with 2.0 60ft to help keep the factory 10 bolt alive. My car was box stock in 2012 and all I've done is free mods, headers, full exhaust, tick master cylinder, T/A diff girdle and a 125 shot with some 315s but I usually run my 10.5x17 MT ET street drag radials at the track. The engine, chassis, suspension, clutch, and everything is factory. I do have to put new rear lower control arms and an adjustable panhard bar on it because the factory rubber bushings are shot and those parts are stamped junk anyway. The hooker ceramic coated long tubes connected to a TSP 3" catless y-pipe and 4" spintech exhaust helped alot. Especially on the bottle. Very cheap and easy way to run 10s with a daily driver. Craigslist helped alot when i put together the nitrous kit. I have about 300$ in the whole kit. It's got everything, WOT switch, push button on the hurst pistol grip shifter, system on and arming switches with momentary purge button, bottle heater, pressure gauge, zex large race solenoids with a full size large race solenoid as a purge that I can use as a back up nitrous solenoid, steel braided line and nozzle, all for under 300$.

[@fastfoodpitstops]

i love that launch!

[@johnbewley5220]

Thanks... the car is an animal... goes bottom 1.20's to the 60 foots and all I usually have to have them do is adjust the front shocks a notch or two.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

John Bewley 1.2 in the 60ft! unreal! that car is amazing!!

[@sublime929]

I love these budget builds

[@ScrewUserNames6587]

My brother had an 89' notch that ran an 8.8 with him going from 2nd to 4th(accidentally) on a modified stock 5 speed, modified suspension out of a 4cyl mustang, on a built 5.0 with a blower and a 100 shot of nitrous. He was making 880 to the wheels. He built the whole thing himself and it was his daily driver.

[@MichaelThomas-wc4fc]

Came thru an killed our Muncie drags..!! keep up the work.

[@sejlefrew]

1320 reppin one of the local Nashville strips, Thanks guys i love going there, wish we had a 1/4 tho

[@jjlritchie]

Good working setup he has there! That turbo is really loud too! Normally I can't hear it over the sound of the exhaust bit this one is exceptionally whistly, if that's even a real word, lol.

Looks extremely familiar haha. Can't wait to take some pictures of this car this spring. I'm sure they'll be creating even more butthurt. Car has came a long way! Still have videos of its first ever pass.

[@pktillidie]

Probably because that stang looks like the 4g63 swapped one on 1320 posted a while ago.

[@A4Eaton]

Rockale Lyons Or because it is a local car and I know the owners.

[@smithperformanceracing5848]

People don't realize motor engineers built that motor for Ford but Ford past it up so they went to Chevy with the design. Them LS1 heads would fit on a 351 Windsor with little modifications.

Waste of a perfectly good Fox...put that shit in a chevy.

[@Stonemasters11]

Exactly what i was thinking.

[@fordboss100]

Agreed. I prefer my Ford to have a Ford in it.

[@DatBlueHusky]

probably the ford motor was shit and blew up so he put better motor in

[@FrequencyOfThought]

even a 97 5.7 vortec is a better motor lol

[@AnThOnYpiano137]

Can't argue with a 9 second car though

[@specialformula14]

More please

[@blownpoppm]

Was I right in hearing you turned the intake around facing backwards? Looking at running twin turbo in the back of mine to hide them so need intake facing the back also. Does the intake ports match when flipped around then? Cheers Phil

[@zeekdavis11]

Ahhh Lil red takin names! Josh and Jordan are cool dudes. MockStangBoyz on FB for all interested in their builds!

Did you get a new camera or is this in 60fps?

[@itsupport2140]

LOL @ the guy at @2:19

[@xIntoThePitx]

The 5.3 is the new 350. Fuck am I ever glad the 350 thing is dying off... at least now GM has a good junk yard engine that'll be swapped into everything under the sun. But just like the 350 they develop a bottom end knock out of nowhere like every GM engine eventually does.

[@rdhines40]

Who cares, pay $500 at the junkyard and you have another motor to abuse.

thats how you get a ford to go fast

is it a stock 5.3? it blows my mind how much power people are getting out of them..

What is that when the car "jumps" for a second while hes staging? Line lock? ( im not talking about the 2 step)

[@Wilsonandcars]

Austin W theres not many left. Ford modular motors are high in price and the push rod stuff sucks balls because blocks are weak. Coyote and Terminator (4v cobra) engines are bad ass but just high..

[@chrisfaulkner9090]

Daniel Wilson There is no substitute for a coyote. Best motor I have ever owned.

[@SuperTaikenzi]

Chris Faulkner I agree. The coyote is the top example of what modulars are meant to be. They've come a long way from when they first debuted back in the Mustang back in 96.

[@Wanous-hv7zo]

[@Numb360]

can someone tell me why the intake piping runs through the interior of the car and into the trunk?

[@TwoAMBlacktop]

Ice box to cool the charge.

[@stlchucko]

^^^^ What he said. The box is in the trunk to avoid putting more weight on the front of the car.

[@andrewreed4112]

What’s the tire set up on this?

[@SaitamaTerra2]

I saw a civic hatchback running at 7:52 don't remember exactly the time, but it was under 8 sec

[@SaitamaTerra2]

Nope it was 1/4

[@thenegus5469]

@lsxbig he’s not wrong just look it up stupid

[@MrTyler1798]

Is the motor bone stock

[@worldtravel101]

flipped backwards. what is the reason?

[@dragkid185]

Because the water box (intercooler) is in the trunk so it makes running the pipes going back to the intake a lot straighter and easier to make.

[@worldtravel101]

dragkid185 OH! haha dur duh dur at me. yeah i guess that seems obvious now :)

[@nloredoable]

looks like an 5.7 LS1/3 turbo?

[@ImKittyCow]

its a 5.3 iron block read the title

[@bikeislife8405]

Serious question, just before launch when the car is spooling up, it abruptly lurches forward about a foot and then stops... Why is that?

[@stlchucko]

He isn't in the staging beams. He's scooting up to "break" the second beam (there's 2: Prestage and stage). Watch at 2:10.... on top of the tree, there are some white lights. The one at the top is the "prestage" (first beam). He bumps forward, breaks the second beam, and the next white light turns on. This means he is staged on the starting line and the tree will start the race.

[@bikeislife8405]

Thank you! Excellent explanation!

[@stlchucko]

ED S You're welcome.

[@DR-br5gb]

5.X

[@slickrickdarula]

super clean launching car. what applications is that 5.3 come out of? Stock numbers?

[@stlchucko]

Typical stock HP numbers for a 5.3L are 300-315 HP. The most common applications for the 5.3L are GM SUVs and 1/2 ton pickups.

[@slickrickdarula]

stlchucko Thanks for the info. Ive got a 98 and a 2005 Sierra 4.3 and 4.8, hate the 4.3 LOVE the 4.8

[@stlchucko]

Richard William Guilmette The 4.8L and 5.3L have the same bore diameter, and use the same block castings, so it's possible to bump the 4.8L to a 5.3L by swapping the crank and rods. The 4.8L also uses flat top pistons instead of dished, so putting 4.8L pistons into a 5.3L bumps up the compression a little; yielding a small power gain for cheap.

[@WhosDweeb]

Put this up against AMS GTR and see how bad it's left

[@WhosDweeb]

AMS GTR is street legal running 7

[@TheDarkness816]

Why the fuck have a mustang and put a Chevy engine in it?? Fuckin ultimate level of disrespect to the Fox!

[@Twobarpsi]

If you want to go fast, put a Chevy motor in it.

[@darrenmcfeaters6683]

How come LS swapped foxbodies dont hold any records? When i looked it up only ford powers ones do.

[@tomrauch850]

Because they are slower than Fords. My Ford powered Fox with a 302 deck block and 82mm T4 turbo weighs 3200 lbs, and is more than 1/2 second faster than this Chevystang pig. LOL But the Chevy power Fox cars like to advertise how fast they are, even though they are slow.

[@jamesdean4992]

Where do you look that up ??????

[@mongoose406]

+Tom Rauch ...Thats cool,You running stock bottom end in the 302 to run that hard?

[@jamesdean4992]

+Shaun Boyd probably not lol

[@bowtie-man]

+Shaun Boyd hey noticed tom rauch didn't respond to your question so I'll take a stab at it. Heeeeellll no we spent a looott of beer money on the 302 to get it to out run the stock bottomed LS by only a half sec.😂😂😂😂.

[@MightyPeach1]

why do they burnout before lining up for the race?

[@RedlineAutoSupra]

they do that to warm up the tires and get them sticky

[@MightyPeach1]

oh ok thanks

[@KorysRides]

Also to clean off debris from hot tire pickup [gravel and sand sticks to them after a run]

[@huntercroak8107]

RADIO!!!

[@Doggepp]

Why do all turbo prepped cars jump forward an inch or two during their boost build up/launch?

[@johnbewley5220]

The car has a transbrake in the transmission for getting up on the converter. That "jump" you see is something called a bump box. He activates the transbrake in the prestage beam.... gets the turbo spooled and ready to go... then presses the button for the bump box 1 time and it cycles the transbrake letting the car move forward 8-10 inches to fully stage the car.

[@Doggepp]

Aah. Not used to see this in Sweden, is this used on N/A V8 cars also? Where I live there are mostly like EVO's, Subarus, a few GTR's and random vehicles racing, and most of them are manual (not the gtr tho), so I dont see this very often! Thanks

[@PaPWPW]

Doggepp Yes you can use a transbrake to stage a N/A car

[@horsepowerfactorytx]

thats not a 88mm turbo, thats an 84.

[@hiitsme6260]

My 97 Thunderbird would kill that thing on the track Just kidding I still have everything stock

[@caveman3251]

dam

[@TWEAKED03]

Wonder how much boost he was running

[@busaspeed]

all of it

[@johnbewley5220]

14 psi..... Hardly any at all

[@busaspeed]

twas a joke lol. that's a awesome build

[@firebird22386]

the 11 dislikes is the chevy haters :)

[@PaPWPW]

What would we hate about? it's a chevy that gets him the win

[@STVMcarbondragon]

Going to just go ahead and ask a really stupid question that I'm sure has been answered before but... Why the 5.3L LSX engine swap? I understand that the displacement is slightly larger and, after looking at the motor's site, its default horsepower blows anything stock for a late 80s/early 90s car out of the window. However, what's the real benefit of that over boring out the stock 5.0L and running with it? I'm not trying to hate on the Chevy engine in the Mustang, but as a Ford guy with a Tbird, it's something that's been bugging me. My 4.6 isn't the largest or the fastest but it's been solid since I got it (daily driver for a college student who occasionally gets on the pedal too hard). The transmission in that car is a different story entirely though...

[@jeffpark4003]

Take a look at this article it from hot rod magizine it may give you some insite on your question. In my opinion cost is a huge factor . I also own a 4.6 supercharged mustang it for the money spent if i would have went with an ls swap and turbos it would make 400 horse more for the same amount of money. www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/hrdp-1109-stock-gm-ls-engine-big-bang-theory/

[@STVMcarbondragon]

Interesting read there. So it's primarily a cost factor, rather than the actual top-out on the engine. Good to know if I ever get into hotrodding!

[@whatyareckon5985]

The alloy ls blocks are lite as and the iron block aren't really that heavy either considering the power and torque they make stock. Then when you throw boost at them they make amazingly stupid power relatively cheaply. There is no ford engine that can match them, in any category.

[@TheCamaro5]

First of all there is no such thing as a 5.3 LSX. The motor above is a GM half ton LQ engine, the LS engines are in the cars and the LSX are GM 2500 hp iron block specifically for racing. After seeing Hot Rod mag do a test on a 4.8 boosting it to 26 psi and they made 60 pulls on it making 1000 each time. The iron blocks on those LQ engines are stout and will take a lot of punishment. As for the 4.6 is big and heavy and would not take that much power with out blowing up.

[@johnbewley5220]

TheCamaro5 All chevy engines since 97 are considered LS engines... just because certain ones carry an LQ designation doesn't make them any different than the LS1/6 arcitecturally.... The engine in this car is actually an L33... so its not even an LQ motor.

[@XCVi_MAC]

I currently have a GT mustang what are cheap mods I can do to add horse power ?

[@TwigDoesGaming]

Sell it and buy a better car

[@jay.0621]

LSX swap

[@jeffpark4003]

My opinion is nitrous oxide . That was the cheapest dollar per hp and tq gain on my 4.6. I guess it depends on what you are looking to do with your car though

[@PaPWPW]

NOS TIL IT BLOWS BROTHA

[@jeffpark4003]

PilgrimTitan I have been spraying my cars bikes atv for the last 10 years the biggest thing is not just bolting the kit on and praying it's going to work. Everything I own has spent time on the rollers to make sure it's dependable. I agree with you though . The amount of hack mechanics put a bad name on nitrous because their shit grenades itself.

[@whereisbenzo_]

Can someone explain why there are so many Chevy swapped or should I say LSX swapped fox bodies? Is it for the availability of parts and price? Or are Ford motors just shit (because the Coyote is pretty tough)?

[@OregonNative1]

Taken from another Users comment "Take a look at this article it from hot rod magizine it may give you some insite on your question. In my opinion cost is a huge factor . I also own a 4.6 supercharged mustang it for the money spent if i would have went with an ls swap and turbos it would make 400 horse more for the same amount of money. www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/hrdp-1109-stock-gm-ls-engine-big-bang-theory/ " These engines are BEASTS!

[@pktillidie]

B/C ls blocks are stupid cheap and can hold 1k hp pretty dam good and coyote motors alone cost like 8 grand.

[@KCstreetRacing]

well they are cheap to get. with this in mind a 351w stock will handle and has been to 1000hp aswell as the 5.3 ls motor so i personally would just do that and keep it around 700

[@josephpinela8287]

Coyote is new. Pretty penny for them. The old 5.0 wasn't forged. There ls truck bashed motors are forged stock. They take well to a lot of nitrous and boost. And you can pick up a 5.3 at the local wrecking yard for around 450-700 bucks run stock internals with a turbo and get decent power. Fox body owners love the ls styled motors cause the part availability and cost. Plus foxes are light weight.

[@Airpig]

Weight. put the Mustang up against MOST GM iron and you get it. Since the LS engines were put in so many vehicles it keeps the cost down. Junk yards don't hold on to them like they're gold like the coyote motors or the Mopar stuff. I'm a well rounded car/truck/bike guy. I've got a 70 Camaro SS right now despite having 10 or so foxes before. Not to mention 4 Subaru's. An LS swap will be going into the 70 simply because the entire swap costs less than heads and intake on a 350 to get the same power. Sad isn't it?

[@AnThOnYpiano137]

It's obvious why they put big wide slicks on the back, but why the skinnies on the front? Can't you just run a street tire?

[@iiamcobra]

Smaller tires puts less friction to the ground, allowing you to move fast. They also weight a whole lot less than a street tire.

[@AnThOnYpiano137]

Tyler H Yeah, I can see that. Haha you never really see guys doing wheelies with street tires

[@SkeenDogger]

315FOX Losing weight on the rotating mass comes out to something like for every 1lb you lose off rotating mass is like saving 3-4 lbs off static weight. Helps a lot. Not only rotating weight is saved as well as less friction but when people get really into it the aerodynamics are even better.

[@babiixoxbritty]

Ford powered cars just don't run like the ls stuff, I really think ford engines will be obselet in the racing world soon.
