I was thinking about doing heads and cam to my supercharged 5.0, but now im thinking that may be a little to much power for the bottom end. Its already pushing 400 hp and 415 torque to the wheels, which means im already probably pretty close to the limits of the bottom end so lets here some opinions. Possibly a crate motor, rebuild the block with stronger stuff, or slap on the heads and cam and boost till she blows! Lets hear some opinions.

What is your current set up. How much boost and what blower.

BOOST TILL SHE BLOWS!!!!




nah i'd prolly get a boss bock, all forged bottom end, then you wouldn't need to worry about the boost at all.
then throw on a good h/c, add a lot more boost, and burn rubber!

Vortech s trim, stock pulley with afm power pipe, stock block, stock heads, 42lbs injectors, dyno tuned chip, full exhaust, gt40 intake, and accufab throttle body... i think ive got everything that matters.

How much boost.

mjr46

not necessary unless loads of boost are planned for the future

91stangy

well boost has to be between about 12 considering stock boost is 8 without the power pipe... no boost gauge yet. but i want to up the boost when i do the heads

SC and no gauge??[>:] That should be your next investment! Go with a 351 setup and then top it of with new H/C.

Like a friend of mine told me, you may as well just stay with the block you have because if a bearing goes in an aftermarket block your screwed either way, keep the current block and if it goes just get another stock block for next to nothing, or do a 351 and then you should have no problems with the hp you want currently.
