turbo kit on 5.0
hey everyone i bought a twin turbo kit for my 5.0 for 1200 but i had a few question before i start installing it
question 1: i have a stock engine but this are the mods im getting:
msd distributor
msd performance coil
msd spark plugs
msd ignition module
bbk highflow fuel rails
255 fuel pump
performance 130 amp alternator
75mm throttle body
93 cobra upper and lower manifold
39lbs injectors
bbk longtubeheaders
do you think my car could handle the the turbos with very low boost like 8lbs
question 2: its it hard to install a twin turbo kit?
question 3: how much power do you think i would get with this setup and what would be my 1/4 mile numbers.....

thats alot to answer with such little info.
for your first question, someone correct me if im wrong, but it should be able to handle low levels of boost. 8 is about the threshold for which i would push a factory engine.
also, you wont be able to use the longtubes in conjuction with the turbo kit unless you plan on running the turbos at the rear of the car. like an STS kit.
question 2: it takes alot of time, and you will be moving/relocating alot of parts. possibly fabricating brackets etc. also, you absolutely must get the car dyno tuned in order for it to run properly and not blow up.
question 3: this question is too open ended to answer. general rule of thumb is about 8-10 hp for every 1 lb of boost. and your 1/4 mile numbers all depend on what tires you have, what trans you have, is the car tuned, can you really drive it THAT well, how much does the car weigh, what is your suspension setup, among many other factors.
