Hey mustang guys, I have an other question. Should i put a turbo in my 5.0L pinto? If i do go this way what are the pro's and what are the cons to this, what would i have to worry about or change. OR should i go with a supercharger and spend all my lunch money on one of those beasts? what do you guys think.

turbo

either way you'll have to spend most of your money on, turbos are better but it'll cost more. well it depends on what you set up is and all that stuff.

I am goint with a S/C personally. Turbos if done properly can be better than any S/C but you have to pay for that. Turbos have a higher maintanence than most S/C, not saying S/C's don't have maintanence but not S/C's need it and all turbos DO need it. Your choice. One thing about turbos is that you need to be careful when they are cooling down. If you have been running them at the strip you need to let your car idle for a little while before shutting it off.

a pinto has very limited space up front for a s/c

The car has an 88 5.0 with a 4bbl c-4roller cam 4:10's in the rear( just if you guys were wondering)

i think i might get two 2.3l turbo's and hook em up to the headers and then snake them around somehow and have a twin turbo 302 ford pinto : D
