^^^^^(my car )you wont get anything close to a torque curve like this with TFS heads, those heads make great power up to 7000rpm, on the street they make you slower. but a built engine with TFS heads in combination with a supercharger or turbo setup, is bound to be a monster, but for the $15k investment (including building the shortblock)it better lol.

that is something to think about I know my uncle is a master mechanic and has a 91' GT that has 550hp N/A and that was stroked bored over .60, and reworked the heads and he said about what you said i would hold off on the heads and get a supercharger for it, so now to experts are giving me the same advice i better listen lol. I would def. want to rework my heads or just put some new stock ones on and maybe new pistons n and rings before putting the supercharger on just to make sure the motor is ready to handle it, but I do need to replace the intake manifold since mine is going bad and cracked, so you think that the Ford Racing is the way to go? I wanted to get away from plastic but i dont want my low end torque to suffer that is what makes the stangs fund is that torque, also I know this might be a questions that sounds stupid, but I have never done supercharger before do you remove the intake manifold and replace it with the charger or does it mount to the manifold like the plenum and throttle body does, i just didnt know if you were telling me to maybe look at a super charger and avoid getting the intake as well, and thanks for being patient with me and answering all my questions.

i would stick with a ford, plastic replacement, to be honest. if you go with a blower style supercharger like i have,
the stock manifold is removed, and the new one is integral to the blower. you reuse, or upgrade your throttle body. also forget any type of under drive pulleys, they will have to be reverted back to stock for this style supercharger as well. as far as the engine goes, a compression test should be performed to see if there are any weak cylinders, this style was designed to work with a stock engine at 9psi. a port and polish job to the heads will only help with performance, but isnt needed.

its a blast to drive, kinda fun to walk a newer gt with the 5.0. had one come running up on me as i was slowing to turn onto the highway, got into it and walked him up to 85 before i let off, man did he look suprised lol

I bet he was shocked and thought what the hell lmbo. That is always awesome, to go with your story something funny the other day me and my fiancee was washing our cars the car wash last weekend and she was vacuuming hers out while i was washing mine and this ricer pulls up on a like 99-00 honda accord with a fart can and a intake on it all revving up when he pulled in, so we happen to finish washing our cars right around the same time, and he gets in his car fires it up and starts revving up in the car wash i guess because of the echo lol, and I was like ohhhh yeaaah, i jumped in mine fired it up and gave it about 4 good thunderous revs and he shut it up quick and left, I looked back and my fiancee was shaking her head and said you are crazy I knew you were going to do that, but yours was so much louder than his and sounded good his just sound like a crappy noise lmbo, I loved it if only I had a camera rolling at that moment.
