well if i get a gt vu id cost the same to put that in as it would be to put in a turbo or s/c. and with those i can kill a gt. and im not gonna be making a monster out of the car. this is the last mod so if i buy the slower v8 i wont mod it anyway.

Alright. Turbos aren't a pain to install or anything. Ok well with anything engine it can be a pain, but poweradder wise most people say it takes about 8 hours with common hand held tools. Get a buddy to help, find out exactly what you should do first, get the right stuff, and have a blast. I don't ever find workin on my car as a pain. Also almost nothing goes right the first time in it. It's tuning that is a pain. If your gonna go with a turbo setup I don't care how many pounds your running be smart and get a turbo timer, and boost controller. It's just smart and safer for your engine.

dude... most def look at some used blocks and rebuild a 4.6 or a 5.0 out of a wrecked stang... if your really want a v8... that also gives you a chance to build up the engine on your own...

or look at a procharger...

uhhh mustangs FTW

im out!

definetly i dont find working on cars to be a pain. unless you put something together than realized you messed up. or you cant get a bolt off or reach it. thats a pain. but is fun working on cars even if you spent about 28 hours under it changing a damn clutch lol. it took me a long ass time but got it done. it was fun though. and got to spend some time with my dad that i usually dont get to

if your gonna keep your car on stock internals, i'd say an 11psi procharger
or a 9psi procharger is what you want
OR!
a little bit cheaper and better solution..kinda
stage 2 power pak...stage3 is more for FI
long tubes
full exhaust
SCT XCAL2
UD pulleys
TB
GEARS
and t-lok
that would be like 300hp set up, very safe, with a tune
NICE set up, very fast, smoke a GT
and if you wana take down some cobras a lil 75shot of nitrous will hit it off NICE

thats wat i wanted to do originally...but i realized...
i'll never be happy if i dont get what i really want

and i really want a turbo

Re: no v8 swap :( !!!!!! turbo is an option, help me out


This may sound dumb but have you ever thought about trading your car in, plus some cash for a GT instead of the V8 swap?
