Default tech ADVICE please, vortec with my 5.0

i have been dying to get this
http://mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy0...p;CatKey=74-01


i have thought long and hard about it for months. my car has 140,000 on it, however, it was re-done to a 306 before i bought it. i have no way of finding out how long ago it had been done. when i did my HCI, the cylenders still had the hone marks on the walls. its a 5 psi kit, the car now takes a 75 shot of gas well with no problems. my tranny is stock and seems to be in great condition.

my mods are in my sig. i just wanted any tech advice about problems anyone has had while doing something similar. the car is a daily driver, is this going to be too much for the car to handle for a while??

I have an older version of that blower on my car. I dont think youll have any problem running 5psi on top of what you have but i dont know about a 75 shot on top of that. I dont know how many miles your looking for the motor to last.I know samseed runs a 100 shot on top of his supercharger

Stop being a wuss!

10 PSI plus a 100 wet-shot and I'm still running strong. I know I only have 83k on the engine, but these things can take a beating anyway.

If you get a good tune, then you will have no problems. Hell, you should be able to split your block in half before you blow your crank... as long as the tune is good.

Anyway, if you run the 5 PSI and put on a 50-shot, I'm sure you'll be happy with the extra power. And you'll be well within the safe limits.

Your block will prob give way before your crank. Do it.

I'd do a set of aluminum cylinder heads before another blower.
