P-51 is great for forced induction but gets as hot as hell under the hood

If thats the problem cant you just get a teflon spacer to help fight the heat soak?

Any turboed 4.6 with a stock block making near 400rwhp will blow no matter how outstanding the tune is. The boost hit created by the turbo is too big for the stock rods.

+1 peak boost around peak TQ = bomb

I have full boltons, good compression, full exhaust and cams so i would definately make even more power. Nitrous sounds good, but i rather have constant boost.

good luck on recieving your turbo kit from hp.. it will take around 6-7 months and i was rushin them. they say like two or three but add atleast 5 to that. also good luck installing it, there is alot of custom fab work you have to do.

also, i have never seen a 55lb P-51. i would say mine is in the 30's range or less.

they make alot more than 410 cuz they lean the hell out of them probably to get all the power they can.

TFS 4.6 intake

The TFS intake has a large runner and is excellent with a turbo/supercharger application. It will be better on the street than the P51 and for the price you can not beat it.
