That's probably cause he doesn't really know **** and just gets his info from magazines and other people's experience.
But don't worry I'm sure he'll come up with something soon, surely MM+FF has done an article on it....he just has to find it.

Rep Power: 646 350 is a fairly easy task even with an N/A setup. If you wanna add a supercharger or turbo the power capabilities are endless, it's all gonna depend on what the rest of the motor can handle. You can't expect to throw 20 PSI at a stock motor and it stay together for very long. Although 5.0L bottom ends are pretty stout and you could easily make that kind of power without hurting the bottom end.

Never dynoed mine but my friend has a stock engine cobra intake
b cam 42lb injectors, 65 tbody and exhaust and makes 375 at 10psi.
he is running an s trim also. I think more then 10 or so lbs
you could blow your stock head gaskets. High volume oil
pump and electric fan would also be good investments.

Rep Power: 678 Pfft, yea, you'd know eh ********.
You practically lived with Tupac didn't you? Tupac's on a very different level than me for sure though, he's on the about 6 foot under level because someone knew he was a moron and capped him before I ever had a chance.
Hey what kind of life have you had Tupac?....Oh Uhmmmmmm, lemme look at my belly.....ohhhh yea, a thug life

Good thing.....it was about to get shut down.
Just so everybody knows, that kind of crap will not be tolerated ever again. How do you promote a site that allows that kind of trash talking and foul language?
If you guys really like this site, knock it off with the swears, at least stay away from the f word and such.
PS. this site has been real well behaved since I got here, I really like it, it's like CCA used to be.

Rep Power: 646 I would imagine swapping the clutch fan and pulley driven water pump would be good for 10-20hp, in fact, any time you can eliminate belts and belt driven accesories from your motor, it'll free up power which is why I'm in love with electric water pumps and fans.
I actually had my old man, convinced to make the swap on his 94 Exploder untill it burnt to the ground.

My 90' GT ran a 14.7@95 with crap tires, and a blown trac-loc without power-shifting (Thats with a crappy 2.4 60 foot time too) so they could get into low 14s at least I think. Only mod on it was flowmaster 3-chambers.
Heres a question... what kinda power would I be looking at if I put a paxton or vortech on my stock 5.0 at 12psi and what more would it take (if any) to get 350hp to the wheels?

I would suggest an aftermarket intake such as the Cobra, Holley Systemax 2, or even a stock Explorer 5.0 intake (aka Cobra/GT40) mated to some GT40 cast iron heads and port match the intake and heads, combined with a 65mm TB, 36lb injectors and calibrated MAF, and a matching cam. If you've got the typical 5.0 5 speed hatchback that weighs roughly 3200lbs, 3.73 gears and want to maintain good driveability I'd suggest the Steeda #19 cam with some 1.7 roller rockers or a Comp Cam XE274HR if you want something more aggressive. I think the above setup will net you 350RWHP with less boost, and you'd probably hit close to 400rwhp with 12-14lbs of boost.
Also, I strongly advise against high volume oil pumps. They are not beneficial to street motors and they are definitely not required. A stock oil pump is more than fine.
Hope this helps.

I'd recommend the Novi 1000 kits. If memory serves me right, its just a head unit swap from upgrading to the Novi 2000 as the brackets are all the same. Not 100% sure on this, but the Novi is a much better blower than the S trim. Also, if you're on a budget, from time to time you can find a complete used Powerdyne 6lb blower kit on www.thecorral.net for under $1000.
