Default RE: 5.0 Project!

After doing some research.
So far I've come down to this set-up:
-Trickflow Twisted Edge Heads/Cam/Intake package-$2.5k
-3.73/4.10 gears-$400 installed
-Bigger mass air flow sensor and Bigger Throttle Body-$? anyone know which one/ones and costs?
-24lb or bigger fuel injectors?-$200-$250

How much hp would that put me at? Any other supporting mods I need? Thanx for all the help ahead of time!

There are many h/c/i possibilities and you can easily cross the 300hp mark with a stout set-up. Look into RHS heads or AFR. Both are highly reputable companies and make excellent quality parts. Get a cam for the application you are looking at. There are so many different cams made for the 5.0 that you can literally spend all day looking at them, many people will say get a custom grind but IMO its not worth it with all the options that are already out there. Get a good edlebrock or holley intake somthing that flows well. stay away from the trickflow top end kit sold from summit and other performance places. Its not worth it at all. With all supporting mods (Injectors, MAF, Dyno tune (you will need it), Larger TB) you will be looking at the 3.5k to 5k depending on whether or not you buy it all new, and do the labor yourself.

Cool, Thanx for allthe help! So probably around 330hp+ a good estimate w/AFR heads/good/reputable cam/edelbrock intake, larger throttle body, larger maf, anddyno tune?I no I'm getting the biggerinjectors to go with it too! I also here something about a free timing bump that's supposed to give me 10-15hp? Is that worth it/safe? Add in that to thehp guess if it is and how much could Iexpect all together?So this will run $3.5k if I install all of it then from what u said. That's just within budget! So maybe I'll have to wait for the 4.10/4.30's tilllate June/July. Thanx for the help again! Looks like a fun project!Thanx for the help and any cost and hp guess's will be greatly appreciated!
