actually ive been seeing better and better stuff about those kits with very good numbers....
well, i went to turbomustangs and saw a whole 17 page thread on the installment of that same kit. It put down some nice numbers. almost 500 rwhp and over 600 rwtq. But yeah, he had a load of fitment issues. he has to bang up his firewall, shave his bumper, remove his sway bar, and several other things. Some guy wants my 4 cyl coupe for $1500. If I can find a 5.0 for that much, Ill have about $4000 in parts alone. which can buy me a hellion turbo kit if I want to. But thats too expensive IMO. But i just have to search around. I ran into the twin turbo kit on ebay for less than 1k. HAHAHA i laughed. Post up some links on good turbo kits and mustangs near Miami. The sooner I find the 5.0, the better.
and any other setup thoughts? Supercharger? idk. anything that will give me at least 430 rwhp.
things that will also need beefed up to handle say 400hp.
transmission. i can bet you would kill 3rd within 2 weeks.
clutch. stock clutch wont hold that power past 2,000 rpms if even that.
tires, you will need to run drag radials now. and drag radials dont like rain at all.
plus tons of other **** that im not going to waste my time listing since your not listening anyways.
I know i am guilty of that. I let my friends opinions on here sway some of my decisions. Some, not all mind you. If I listened too all of them I wouldnt have 350Z wheels on my CobraRyan,
its all in the driving. I have over 500 crank HP and have the stock clutch and tranny. In fact, I believe I have the stock tranny due to the clutch being stock as it allows some slip/play. I am not going to vouch for this kid, but just say it can be done if done right. If you have your foot in the loud pedal and you beat the tar out of your car it will not last. Plain and simple.
I think mostly what you have accomplished in two years in this forum is succumbing to group think. Anything can be done. How much did you pay for your car again?

But a point here is that Mike wants to sell the Mach and the Coupe. If he does then (forgive me if I am wrong) then the new Fox will be his only car. Getting a sub $4000 5.0 Fox AND putting an ify turbo on it is just not a good idea if its his only car. Even if he did get a quality turbo kit and managed to install it correctly there is still the fact that its an old 5,0 that wasnt built for boost. Sure with a good tune and low boost he will be okay for the most part but he is a teenager and will succomb to the "Hey man, crank the boost and lets see what she can do" goading his brothers/friends will undoubtedly do.
If its gonna be done then it should be done right. Getting a $4000 Fox with a fresh engine would be the better idea and wait for a real job and some real money befor adding boost to it.
Just my .02

Then why do you want a turbo on a DD Fox?I was gentle on my gt. Sure once in a while youll give it some gas, who doesnt? Im not a maniac on the road. I hate people flying in the road. And besides, i dont wanna be draining my gas. Ive learned, the more power you have, the easier you are on the throttle, and I always see the people with the moster 68 camaros or Olds 442's loud, cammed, beefed up the arse, and cruise down the road. no need to speed
yeah i know what you mean. I like knowing I have that power under the hood.
