well before you do a blower, if you got the money it can't hurt to dive into the engine first...

well you need to ask yourself somequestions. how much power do you want? how do you want to get there? boost/n20? turbo? supercharger?

TB's do not do much for our cars, as far as an underdrive pulley if you want to get a supercharger, i sudjest not if you want a turbo/n20, then go for it its a great mod.

good small things like roller rockers are nice. But if you want to get serious i sudjest picking yourself a poweradder.

plus 1 on the power adder you can get them used for a nice price tag.

I dont know what problems the 94-95 5.0's have, but dont expect to put a supercharger on it with that many miles. They can last a long time if their driven with care.

the 94-95 are the slowest years of the 5.0l . . they're slower then non-pi headed GT's

my buddy has a 94 GT with like 40k miles, he had basically all the bolt ons you could get for that car and he barely got into the 14's, im not trying to play them down, sure it has a buncha potential. It just isnt that much of an upgrade, if at all..


however he said he went fromt payments, to no payments, and from an auto toa stick, so it might be worth it to him

Yea im not putting down a 5.0 either there my favorite engine. I'm just agreeing with you its not much of an upgrade over a split port sixer. Good luck though. No payments rock!!!
