Question.... why not stroke it to something bigger? Its not going to cost that much more.... or do you not want that much power? A well built 351W, good set of heads and a hellion turbo pushing 10-12 psi is going to belt out alot more than 550rwhp.

hope u haven't bought headers already because they have raised exhasut ports
Not only that, with a turbo setup you should go with the biggest exhaust setup possible. You should read the "turbo bible" on turbomustangs.com

I wish I had a 25-30K spending limit.... my eyes just bogged out of my head when I added up my heads and a few other bolt ons! lol heads, valve covers, tb, maf, rockers, intake spacer and a hood. came out to like 2500! [&:]

well 4" exhaust sounds better. and yes a bIG turbo...I know it will probally make around 900-1200hp on race gas 20+psi of boost or so but for street daily driver 550rwhp is safe for street, anymore...is alittle nuts. i think ill be able to pin the tires in 4th if I just punch it at 50mph+....and then in a less than a fraction of a second .20..40...70....90....120....145....170...200 lol scary fast
