5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
whats the best waty to get 400-450hp and still be streetable. '86 mustang 5.0 fuel injected. It will be going to the drags also, but I do want reliability
Turbo, supercharger, or nitrous...or a nicely built stroker. Any of them will be able to accomplish the task with relative ease if the right parts are used and its built properly.
A 306 w/ a blower isn't gonna do it by itself. An otherwise stock 302 bored over with 10 PSI will only get you around 330 - 340ish HP. Add some spray to that and you'll get there though.
bone stock 302, put a turbo kit on it and youll hit 400rwhp easily. and itll still be streetable because when not in boost the motor will run like its stock
