Default Guesstimates and advice?

I'm looking at adding a T-70 Turbo and Intercooler to the setup on my cobra. Any advice or guesstimates from anyone on how it may go and what the end results may be?
Mods so far are listed in my sig

well depending on the boost level you are loooking at. That turbo is MORE than enough to split the block in 2
Good news is you already have a boost friendly cam
Def will need larger injectors, at a minimum you should be using 42#'ers with that turbo, and should probably look into a Pmas blo through maff

looking to put 8-10lbs on it,I know about 550hp is all that those blocks can handle and that may be pushing it. Really looking to keep it around 500. The motor as it sits right now is strong as an ox, but you can tell it needs that forced induction to come to life. Where can I find the MAF you were referring too

here is a link to the one i was talking about
If you want to see what others are doing, head over to www.turbomustangs.com and check out the forums, lots of 5.0 guys doing tubos and using these meters (tho there are other out there)
Just a thought, you might want to talk to a turbo guy (professional) but that turbo seems a lil big for your engine, MIGHT be better of with a 66mm unit (just a thought, and something to look into)

I know, but the price is so good on it. It's hard to pass it up. My cousin bought it for his stang, but then decided to go another route. So its the whole kit, NIB...for the friendly "family" price of $700. Kind of hard to pass up that kind of deal

well i mean it shouldnt be that bad, might have a tad bit of turbo lag due to the size, but it wil make more power up in the power band
