i want a 400- 450 hp out of my car using my 89 302.. what would be a better way to go twin turbo or supercharger?? which would be more reliable?
.which would be better for my engine life?and which would be a cheeper way to go (i can build my own turbo kit) to achieve my goal?

for which you think would be best what other add ons would i need to get for the stock engine.AE CAM,HEADS,BLOCK WORK,INJECTORS,THROTTLE BODY,FUEL PUMP,?

the car already has mac shorty headers,off road H pipe,underdrive pullys and a polished throttle body.

I plan on taking everything apart and rebuilding it with fresh bearings seals rings gaskets rehone/bore if needed. port and polish intake and heads EXC is there anything i should replace while its apart.

yea forget the power adder crap an do a 347 stroker,build the hell out of it and put a 75shot of nitrous on it and you would be set

[Iwannagofast]

75 shot of nitrous=power adder.....just bustin chops jordan..

[e3sean]

what would it take to get a 347 stroker to 400-450 hp and still be reliable?? non nitrous

[jam77]

you could easily get that out of a stock 5.0 with a supercharger or turbo. I would go supercharger just because i have more experience with them but thats your call

[jam77]

If i remember right stangzilla has a 347 putting down over 400 horse without a power adder, id shoot him a pm and inquire about his set up

s/c in my opinion. if i don't stroke mine im thinking about putting a paxton 1200 s/c on it.

[Iwannagofast]

a lot of people like turbo a lot better but there are a lot of supercharger applications out there for the 5.0 and that just seems like it would be easier

[e3sean]

i am thinking i will go s/c just cause i am sticking to a 5 speed but should i get the crank ballencer and flywheel balenced to make it run smoother and get more rpm's out of it?

[Razorsedgepit06]

Vortech makes a nice kit for the 5.0 A built 347 with the vortech wouldnt be too bad imo

[e3sean]

but wont u get high compression with a stroker motor and isnt high compresson bad with FI?

[Iwannagofast]

no

[woody1]

450 at the crank?

[HPAmotorsports]

It all depends if you want a dyno queen or not. Is it going to be a daily driver? Do you want usable HP?

[baine21225]

single turbo

[e3sean]

it wont be a daily driver more like a weekend worrior and mabe a track night once a month or so..hmmm i cant decide on what to do lol.

well if you actually want the car to hook up with 450hp, your gonna have to do a lot to that little foxbody..... Ask me how I know.....

I would defiantly go supercharged if this isn't a daily driver, Turbo's can save gas as compared to a s/c because they kick on only when brought to certain RMP's. But, superchargers are instant power, no hesitation! And it would just be WAY easier to get/install/work on I think

Superchargers are not exactly instant, just like a turbo, they will provide a certain boost at a certain load and RPM. A SC boost curve is a little more predictable because it is driven directly from a belt but the "lag" is still there.

actually s/c have a parasitic attribute... there is no lag, just draws more power from the engine
