OK,

I have had enough! Guys over at the school think there shit don't stink in there 2009 STOCK mustangs. Thats fine...I will show them.

Here is what I need to know-

GM Hot Cam? Do I need new lifters or pushrods or rockers? To sum it up how much will the cam and other NECESSARY parts set me out? (BTW, Looking for something I can possibly just set in and set the rockers and go!)

LT's are a must...
BBP TUNE!
Supercharger! (If I can afford one by the spring!)
MAF? Under drive pulley set? 180* Thermostat?

What else would I need to make this thing run like a top dog?

Jenna, Can you RE-Tune a PCM for my engine specs if I give you all the information?

AND BTW, yes I know it's alot of money but I am selling aton of 9" Ford Parts and racing parts....

So let me know what you guys think!

Thanks,
Tyler

Stall
tune
LT headers

if you don't beat them, you sure will impress them with that.

Blueflamed,

Will ALL LS1 Parts interchange with the LQ Engines? Internals like rods, cams, and pistons?

I may have access to a LS1 Hot cam, Rods, and Pistons for a good price. Also, Gonna find another 5.3 and do a swap once the engine is ready and fully built!

BTW, Can I drop in the motor with the LT's on? Or do I have to do that with the motor in first?

The cam will, I don't think rods and pistons will.
But if you like the specs on the LS1 cam, just slide it into a low mileage 5.3, and add the headers whenever your ready. You can do it to the motor you have now, or wait until the swap.
You can find like a 2007 5.3 (non flex fuel) low mileage for fairly cheap, have better heads, etc and slide the cam in. Then install in a weekend.
