whats so great about the 5.0? im most certainly not saying i dont like it (im rebuilding one as we speak) but what sets it apart from those tuners running around? it seems like they just put a lil more juicein their turbos and they're off.. at my school mustangs are strongglyy hated and tuners with turbos are whats mainly rolling around. infact people hate me in my school just because i love mustangs and when they ask whats so much greater in a 5.0 mustang than their high boost 4 bangers all i can really say is torque and idk wat else to say. so i just wanted to hear why you guys think that the5.0 is great
(btw my mustang WILL have when i put it back together- al. ported and polished heads, E303 cam, 1.6 roller rockers, trick flow EFI manifold, 65mm throttle body, 24lb injectors, not sure on size of maf and it will be dyno tuned wit a chip, will i be able to smoke anybody? or will it be the other way around?)
a 5.0 makes much more tourqe and good power opposed to a high boost 4banger which would need high rpms to even spool their turbo. ona happier note, you have a bulletproof motor (there are 5.0s running around with over 250k on their odometers, plus they are cheap to modify (have plenty of "free mods" such as bumping the timing...) plus as gt884me said, everyone knows what a 5.0 is, its a legend, it will never die

oh forgot to mention ....you can put a turbo in there too if you want to be like the cool kids ...only thing is they probably won't know that it's you because you'll be flying by way too fast.

next time they ask whats so good about a 5.0...
tell them to race motor to motor and u'll show them whats good.
tell them that if u put 3g's into building your motor...you'll smoke the crap outta them when they put 5g's into a turbo setup and other mods.
see what they say.

Ooooor, aside from all the performance talk, you can tell them its a way better safty component. Get into a head on wreck with a ricer and see who gets to walk (or drive) away
