75lb injectors... uh.
uhm.
we're not being know it alls, just trying to guide you.
75 lb injectors are good for use in motors that have close to 750 hp.
headers gave you maybe 5 hp. x pipe maybe another 3, but lost torque, a/c delete 0, new roller cam is probably stock considering everything in those pictures is stock. CAI gave you maybe 3-4 hp.
these motors, freshly built in stock form. put out 190 at the wheels. its the torque and the gears you have that make it seem so much faster than it really is.

Hey man, we're just teasing! Unlike the newer 4.6s and even 4.0's, the 5.0 does not respond well to basic bolton's, mainly because the stock parts do not pose a restriction, until the motor is opened up(heads, cam, intake manifold) The stock intake and air cleaner system is effective. The headers and stock mid-pipe are junk, but not much power can be had by upgrading them, maybe 10-15 horsepower. A performance cam is worthless unless the heads are upgraded. All the cam does is raise your powerband so you lose your low end torque for higher rpm power. Unfortunately, the stock heads and intake manifold are not meant to rev past 4500rpm. 3.73's do not add power. As for injectors, I am sure you do not mean 75lb'ers!? A stock 5.0 has 19lb injectors. 60lb injectors would work well on a turbo 347. I do not think they even make a 75lb injector. Plus your car would run like CRAP if you had them. In my honest opinion, the stock 5.0 makes 225 horsepower, meaning the would dyno about 190rwhp. Add in a few tasteful bolton's and you're looking at 205-210rwhp and 280rwtrq. The reason why your car feels moderately quick is primarily due to the gears. Hope this helps!

Yeah I know you guys are just giving me a hard time. But I really want to know whats going on in my car too. I am going to list off literally everything that is written on the receipt that the master mechanic did for the rebuild.....it may not mean that it is still in the motor or not (like the 75lb injectors). The thing that really freaks me out is that they bored it 40 thou over. Isnt that aloT??!?! I was searching and I see that mostly people do about 30 thou over. Is this bad?

Ok like I said I really want to learn about my car and make it the best I can do. I am not trying to be like a douche bag who picks up a GT and thinks it can be a 10 sec car like that. I really need your guys' input and help to let me know what I have here. I wish one of you lived closer so I could just show you the damn car lol
