where to begin on a build...

RIDIN5.0 · January 6th, 2008, 09:33 PM

you have a stock 5.0 HO, where do you start, small budget with moderate outcome???

have exhaust-off road x-pipe

will aftermarket headers have that much affect on the performance and sound?

do you get heads, intake, maf, inj, thrttl bdy, asking opinions of all interested

Black Five 0h · January 7th, 2008, 12:33 AM

how much $$ is in your budget?

JONJON · January 7th, 2008, 12:34 AM

how much exactly?Then we can know because it could be heads money or headers money?

JONJON · January 7th, 2008, 12:35 AM

i was thinking pro charger, and 175 shot of nitrous, but your ideas good to!

78mach1 · January 7th, 2008, 01:01 AM

but for real, id do like a gt-40 heads, a explore intake and injectors, gears (3:73, 4:10`s)

but it all really depends on how deep your wallet is

ryans88gt · January 7th, 2008, 01:02 AM

aftermarket headers will improve sound, but only good for a couple hp with stock heads.

Maybe look for an explorer motor you can salvage heads, intake, throttle body from. Those are good for about 50 hp over stock and can be had reasonably cheap.
