I had a fox body Mustang LX that put out about 350 hp at the rear wheels that was quicker in the quarter mile with a 331 than the 373 that came in the car. It wasn't intentional. I sheared my pinion and the only LS axle I could find in the junk yard that would fit was a 331. The plus side to it I jumped from 16 mpg to 19.
