If you can add a chunk of change to that, either Trick Flow heads or a twin-screw blower would kick ass.

If not, gears, exhaust, the usual...

I'd save a little more and go with a blower.

If not, I'd get nitrous, gears, tires, tune.

Don't waste it on the standard bolt ons...

Exhaust, cams, nitrous, tune, gear, suspension, forced induction... that's where it's at.

Not sure about him but i rather have a 4.6.. this is not 1996 plenty of parts for 4.6's now.. many reasonable builds and cheap lightweight aluminum blocks that can handle tons of power..

My favorite is the sn95 5.0 guys that have to put 5.0 all over the car to make sure nobody confused them with a 4.6 and then run a 15.2@93

It's funny.. We have this one car here that looks just like mine but a 5.0 he has fox 5.0 badges on the fenders, one in the grill where the pony was and one on the trunk lid

Seriously do you need everybody to know it's a 5.0 from every angle.. He should go all out and just put a huge 5.0 on the roof so people in planes and choppers don't confuse him for one of those slow 4.6 cars..

I have nothing against the cars.. I always liked the notches but wow some of the people that own them or are fans of them that go around screaming 4.6's suck act like the 5.0 was built by the hands of god and came from the factory with 500 HP.. ( seriously I had somebody say to me once I should have bought a 5.0 because ford put a governor in them you could remove and it unleashed the true 500 HP those motors made stock)


Yes I almost pissed myself laughing

I like foxes but lets keep it real, stock for stock a pi 4.6 is clearly faster

LOL you should do it that would be funny... most people think my car is a 5.0 because of the tail lights. I should get huge 4.6 stickers for the doors
