ORIGINAL: 1991_5.0_Convertible

Go with a turbo, you can make some insane boost numbers with a built engine.
You can make great boost #'s with a s/c on a built motor also, ever heard of Supra Slayer? Made 863 wheel with an S/C setup, thats sick, i know he went single turbo now but id be fine with the other setup to. PLus its cheaper, thats just my 2 cents

Turbo is more efficent,and easier on the motor IMO...since a turbo usess exhaust gasses to make boost,while a centrifigual charger relies on the motor itself since its crank driving also a turbo will make more power with less boost than any charger out there just because of the simple fact that it is exhaust driven and dosent put strain on the motor......that's why i can smell a turbo in my future.

a turbo could be cheaper if done right and alot of research is looked up. ever see the guy who twin turboed his fox? i gotta find the link he flipped his shorty headers upside down and began building. only downside or thing bad he did was use to stock turbos from a dodge daytona,which would be way undersized for a mustang. 2 to4b's are what you'd be wanting for some more effiect power.

nothing like boost coming on and throwing you in the seat i gotta agree.

turbo owns,even if you had a all motor mustang with 600 hp and a turbo stang with 600 hp the turbo would win in most cases
