It's F/I or go home. Anyway ya cut it , it will cost around the same to get the numbers you want. Just spend 9k and have a good shop tune and install a S/C.

If you had my car like it is and had $3K to spend, what would it be? I already have a CAI/tune. That is the only performance mod.

Id leave it as it is and either save for a blower or use the money elsewhere.

I agree with 99GT. Save 3k and keep saving, beefcake racing sells their Paxton kits for between 5 and 6k.

If you're deadset on spending the money, get a set of stainless power longtubes (catted or not that's up to you), get a GT350 intake manifold and the adapter to run it on the stock throttle body. Get it installed and get Lund to send you an FF tune for the setup. Should be around 450whp depending on the dyno.

yes, Ford did. It required a bump in displacement, a flat-plane crankshaft, and a 1200 rpm higher redline.

If it wasn't for the keyboard and my faith, this comment would require a straight up throat punch!!

An amazing motor but I don't see it doing 500 hp on a chassis dyno.
