i used to be a die hard 5.slow fan
its a ford-2bolt main windsor block theyre not good for more than 400horse. Reliable wise. Unless the person is going to use a valley girdle and a main web girdle for extra strength.
Plus most windsor blocks had very low nickle content which isnt good for more than 450horse. Sure you could run 400+ maybe even 600 but it would be a matter of time before the block splits clean down the middle. Go on streetfire.net and look up How the stock ford block gave up or blew up. Thats a video of a 5.0 mustang going down a strip and blows the block clean in half. If the 302 is i believe a 72 or 74 and prior year casting date-its good for making power. If its a run of the mill 75+ 302 windsor-its just a disaster waiting to happen!

Good thread haha...Threw some Webers on my prelude with hopes of stomping some stangbangers but never got the **** running properly.Switched over to the Audi andhave beenquite amazed by all the tuning possibilites with these cars.
Out of the hole...witha fewvariables involved....weather, elevation, good tires, Quattro, 1.8TK04FMICGIACXBORLA plus a good driver might "smoke" a 5.0.
Stock GT/Foxbody 5.0 is good for maybbbeeee mid-14's... in a straight line of course.
Assuming that was what you were asking...straight line?
In the curvys...I'll pretend you didn't just ask that

and debadge it, then tell people your running a chipped 1.8t with exhaust. it will definetly put a smile on your face.

well given that both are 100% stock and quattro with same transmission.
i would say it will be extremely close. the 1.8t is only a merely 32lbs heavier than the 2.8. and the 2.8 has a bit more power also. the 1.8t will have a slightly better top end(80mph+).. all in all, the 2.8 will probably be slightly ahead..
but, there is only one way to find out man [sm=gears.gif]

I have a question. Not to change the subject off mustangs but.....
My friend has an '01 A4 2.8L and I have and '05 1.8t(both 100% stock). (Didn't the HP of the '05 get increased since the '01 model?)Anyways, he says he'll "smoke me" if we race. I realise that he'll probably win becuase he has a bigger engine, but would he actually "smoke me" or would i be able to hang with him??
