New combo question


I'm going to get another 5.0 as my next vehicle. That is decided for sure. I will turbo the atock motor until I build up a nasty forged aftermarket block that I'll throw tons of boost at. My question is, how much power have people made with just a turbo kit on these cars? I will have stock heads/cam/intake as well. Usual stuff will be done. Subframe connnectors, u/l control arms, drag radials, exhaust, powerpipe etc.

I herd people make up to 400 safely on around 7-9 lbs boost. I would recommend new head gaskets and arp studs just to make sure the motor will be able to handel the power, since you going to be buying a used stang. Im guess its all gonna depend on a good tune.

I was going to change the gaskets anyway since it's used. The studs are something to think about though. I will get it tuned at Magic or Realspeed. I haven't decided yet. I've heard good things about both places.

Also, what is a good turbo kit? I'll do it right with a good company/kit. I just haven't found any "kits" that come with EVERYTHING you need to do the N/A- F/I swap. Turbo, intercooler,plumbing,lines,injectors,MAF etc etc.

Maybe...I also want to be able to swap over the turbo kit to the new motor when it's done being built. Goal is to be able to take it up to 800RWHP...
