15 pounds without a vr4 mod is gonna overspin the internals and will burn up easily

This doesn't look like it came off a 5.0 mustang, the discharge is coming off the right side instead of the left side. That's an easy fix, it just don't look like a set up for an efi mustang.

Those are capable of pushing 8 pounds with just a pulley change. If you want 7-9 lbs you can just change the impellar for around 200 bucks

a vr4 mod will cost about 700 bucks just for the parts and will push 14 PSI. Honestly I would pass, and I agree with brutal gt it does look a little beat up. Save your money and get something complete (bolts and all)

Those heads and that cam with the level of boost you want to run will not even come close to the hp numbers you are looking for.




I do have to ask though, since you already have 500+rwhp why are you wanting to change your setup and make the same numbers?
