That's a Cartech.com system sold by them. You can get them cheaper straight from Cartech call dont order online ask a few question and prices and cause they like you they will knock $500 off!!! Also they do not have systems for 1996 or up, these are for 1995 and down 5.0's.

About 10 years ago i had a intercooled cartech turbo'd 1991 GT. Of course the 64 will make more power but more lag, you have to decide you max power you want. Also O-ringed heads i found are a must!!! i found that out!! I used to peg my max 14lbs of boost at a low 3000rpm!!! I put some race gas in it 108 octane and turned up the wastegate and got 18lbs of boost out of the t-44. Is that enough for you??

Unless your trying for 700+ HP go with the smaller turbo.

I dyno'd @ 524hp and 565ftlb's of torque out of my 5.0 back then. Quiet as hell, and a super sleeper!!!

That system and car are reviewed here.

As far as lag, there wasnt much. I've had paxton centrifigal, and the powers there on the cartech turbo's way before paxtons. I saw 5lbs of boost come in @ 1800rpms and full 14lbs of boost @ 3000rpms. There was hardly any lag, not like you see on 4 cylinder cars. U cannot see it. but the exhaust from both sides of the engine cross over into the turbo to drive it. then down to a single 3 1/2 pipe, then down to split back off to the factory Header location.

As i said you can get this cheaper calling them. And for $3500 you will not be able to build this kind of streetable reliable power with anything else. And no joke, After the tune i got 2mpg better gas mileage with the turbo's installed. I used a Crane interceptor add on EEC 4 tuner to run it. I bought the turbo system after getting tired of filling nitrous bottles.

With the intercooler it's crazy the amount of boost you can push compared to a blower car.
