Hi fellas, this being my first post and all, go easy on a brutha!

I am picking up a new addition tonight, a 95 5.0, manual. It already has some pretty nice bolt ons, BBK headers, Bassani off road X pipe and Cat back, underdrive pulleys, King Cobra clutch, 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear 2003 Cobra R wheels, 2 year old paint, Ford Motor Sports Aluminum Driveshaft, Ford Motor Sports Spark Plug Wires, K&N Cold Air Intake, MSD Ignition Coil, Pro 5.0 Short Throw Shifter, new tires, lights, tint, shift boot and alternator....

It will be my daily driver and alternate vehicle to my 2006 SRT8 that is having exstensive work getting done...

I do plan on more mods for this car also, any help is appreciated. I want to stay N/A, and try to attain 350+rwhp, could you veterans of the Pony car be of assistance to this Rookie.


Thanks in advance guys...pics to come as soon as i figure out how to.[8D][8D]

It does ok stock, but at 4300 pounds, it can use more...When im finished with the work, it'll be in the 600fwhp range and 500rwhp N/A...I ran a low 13 with it in 70 degrees and 90% humid weather, with 500 miles on the odometer and NOTHING done but turn the key...

Anyway, any other suggestions on my 5.0 to reach my N/A goal...after i do, then F/I or Spray it and hit 450RWHP!!

You'll need do to a H/C/I swap (heads, cam, intake). Look at the TFS top end kit or AFR heads. You'll also need to do every other bolt on you can and upgrade your suspension and stiffen the chassis. Also look in the stickies at the top...there are some about 1st mods and upgrades. Welcome aboard!!
