My '94 5.0 is basicly stock except for the addition of a BBK Cold Air and 75 hp wet shot of nitrous. What would be a good way to beef it up to around 400 hp by possibly avoiding the supercharging phase, or do I just need to go blow three grand on it. Thanks alot.

 

400hp w/out the s/c will be hard to get to. ull still have to spend a few grand to get there tho. id say build the top end plus bolt ons and u should be some where close or over 300hp then add ur 75 shot and u should be close. u also might wanna beef up the tranny after all that.

 

check out aprils issue of 5.0 mustang and super fords. they did an article on trickflows kit, i think it made 290hp and 316tq. the stock block can handle it. theres plenty of high mileage 5.0s with h/c/i and stock bottoms that are doing fine. so i dont see how it could lead to problems if everything is done right.

 

im just tellin the kid what works and what 100s of people have already done. like i said take a look around corral or stangnet and ask how many people are running around on stock bottom ends with h/c/i. and the comment about tf, are u serious?!?! thats like one of the more popular kits out there right now. do urself a favor and do some homework.

btw heres the tf kit..

theres a few more kits out there. ford racing, holley also makes one. or u could always make ur own combo. afr/edelbrock/tf make good heads. lots of intake choices. and theres tons of off the shelf cams out there or u could get one grinded.

 

so far i havent seen any real contibution from u, so u most be the local idiot. :loser: cmon kid u know what they say about arguing on the net.
i could understand a rebuild if needed (mileage), but if theres no problems with the motor then go for it.
in the past? wtf i just looked at ur profile it says ur 19?? haha! so i guess uve been working on pushrods most all ur life, huh? do u even know how to change out a plug, change ur timing, how about an oil change? gimme a break boy.
here ill give ya some more links..

do ur homework bitch!

 

omg, i just looked at ur gotstang page.
CLEAN YOUR FAWKING ENGINE!!!

btw my car is cleaner,faster, and looks better than urs so nana!! o and my car has an intake and cam. heads are on the way i guess my car will have problems.
:bash:

 

1st i was here before u, i just choose not to post misc bs unlike u. i was adding to the post, u came in running ur gums.
i didnt come here to start anything. just giving the person some things to look at. what did u do? build the bottom end cuz itll lead to problems? why? if its put together well itll be fine. if the motor feels solid and not alot of signs of stress or oil leaks everywhere. then i say go for it.
heres something crazy, ive actually seen stock bottom ends with h/c/i and a blower even turbos!
do some looking around maybe some reading u might learn something. o and im glad ur dad builds race races?! race cars maybe, got any pics? seriously. stick around maybe u can learn something from ur pops.

ill say it again..
clean ur engine. if u love ur car ud take care of it. or do us all a favor and give it to someone who will.

now go play or something, maybe blues clues is on tv.

 

here is a real good example of what i mean. his block is stock and has NEVER been rebuilt and look at all the combos hes gone thru.
