RE: What is needed for a 94-95 to make 350-400 rwhp? Budget?
Thanks for all the replies. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a turbo. I'm also an ME, so the idea of having a turbine in my car is very appealing.
Who here has a turbo 5.0, and what turbo kits/manufacturers do you recommend, as I am unfamiliar with turbo manufacturers? It would be nice to buy a complete kit with everything needed to run so I'm not running around piecing everything together (fuel pump, injectors, fuel controller (for tuning), etc...).
My target budget for this project would be $5K in modifications, but that is always a little flexible.
BTW, how do the 4.6L engines respond to boost compared to the old 5.0? I've owned 2 5.0's in the past, and one ran to 210K miles, and the other ran to 160K miles until I sold them. So, I'm a little partial to the 5.0, as they haven't let me down yet. I'm not familiar with the reliability of the 4.6's, and the 5.0's were so easy to work on.

4 ways
9 or 11 PSI Supercharger - $3000 new + supporting fuel mods, add in another $500 for play room
Supporting mods depending on boost would be headers, exhaust, custom tune
Big shot of N2O along with basic bolt ons such as CAI, full exhaust, custom tune (deffinitly will need this one)
347 stroker block (cheaper than the kit in the long run) www.haneymotorsports.com
8 psi supercharger + supporting fuel mods + custom tune
347 stroker block
mild rated heads/cam/intake + custom tune

turbo is the easiest but its so unreliable. there are a lot of factors with a turbo you want to take into account... ie boost spikes ect... going supercharged is your best bet if you want it to last a while... and the stock internals will hold up fine.

wtf? When done correctly turbos will be plenty reliable. I think it's the Helion turbo kit but on a stock 5.0 it made like 430whp or something, sick.

Turbo setup properly is very reliable, otherwise they wouldn't come on factory cars. When was the last time you heard of a Porsche or a Subaru or an EVO havingturbo problems?(in factory trim of course).
Cheapest/easiest way for most folks would be a h/c/i 347 or blower.

Those cars have engines and ECU's that are designed for those turbo's too. You put a after market turbo system on a car and watch weather changes play hell on your tune. Turbo's aren't as consistent as a supercharger. They may make more power, but that power comes at a cost of higher maintenance.

ponydown has them for just over that
b&g is like the same price
quicktime is a bit more
extra 300-500 more for more hp and more torque. think bout it this way. if procharger had a box that said add 400 for 30% more hp and 50%+ tq over the 65% that you already gained, would ya check it? i would

they're local to me. here is a direct quote from the owners of quicktime turbo's
Greg recieved the car and made some baseline pulls on it. It made 215rwhp. he purchased a kit plus the 255lph high pressure high volume pump from me. He installed it all and straped it back to the rollers. The car has an 8lb spring in the gate. Car then turned around with a very very safe tune and made 444rwhp and 480rwhtq. I just want to say thank you to greg for buying a kit and for doing what he does best. I would hate to see what this completely stock motor is capable of. A few more pounds of boost and I think we could make 500 at the tires. We shall see. As I am putting together a convertible for the street and it will be truely a stock motor with an intake. Greg will get his shot at tuning it and every other car I have or customers of mine. Sorry to ramble.
big thanks to speedydyno

Im gonna order the new paxton SL next week actually. Sealed Lubrication. If you were to go supercharger look into a sealed lubricated one, easier install and you can service the oil when needed. Summit has got them for 2250

Tapping the oil pan was not bad at all when I did mine. It may be a hair more work during the install but now, if done right, you should never have to worry about changing your charger oil since it gets done right along with the engine. Your unit will run cooler, be more efficient, and have very few chances of developing a leak.
