A nice pair of intakes? We are talkin about a 5.0 right?

I know one 89 that has run 11psi with Powerdyne many years, stock internals, ported e7s and better head gaskets, but i dont remember what they were anymore. I talked to him before i choosed to supercharge my car.

It is a Ford Motorsport 5.0 crate engine but the short block is basically the same thing as every other 5.0. The head gaskets are fine and my compression tests have been very consistent (about 175 +-5 across all cylinders). Although I have no indication of excessive blow-by, I have issues with oil "seepage" from just about every sealing surface. I don't know if that is normal for a boosted car or not but I think the car sat for a while because the rubber valve cover gaskets were dry and hard. I assume the other sealing surfaces are shot as well. __________________ 1991 GT - Original owner, all stock 1988 GT - The project car
