All that stuff JR and STOCK HEADS?!?! wtf are ya thinking? j/k man. Did you run out of money by then?

I have a goal to squeeze every ounce of HP and 1/4 times out of this motor on stock heads, cam & bottom with high mileage and power adders. I ran 100 shot of n20 through it from 129K -148K religously and the motor held great with no problems. I just lifted the gaskets with 12 #'s of boost and my motor has come apart now for the first time and it looks great inside for 160K. I want to be able to tell people that these 5.0's are strong as hell and don't be afraid to mod it b/c of high mileage i.e blower/n2o/turbos. So now my motor is a guinea pig for the 5.0 owners around here. I have a motor awaiting its new home in my engine bay but I will run this one until it cracks or explodes.
I'm installing a boost cooler and we will see how much more power I will pick up with that and I have a ProCharger intercooler being fabbed up by my shop.

$$$$ yeah I am running real low with an extra mouth to feed now. All my mods have become priority by what breaks or what "I need to keep it from breaking to compliment the other parts I added." (try that one on your wife)

hey all,
ive been on these boards for probably about 7 months now but never really introduced myself so i figure this is a good time.im 17 and have to pay for every penny i put into my car, which btw i just added up to be the exact amount a paid for the car($5400), . i got a black with grey int. 94 gt coupe with the good ole 5.0. i have to admit when i first got my car my first plan was to put clear headlights/corners/tails but thank god i found stangnet and you all set me straight. BTw thanks for all the help you guys gave me so far, coulndt have done it with out you.

Damn JR, I didn't know you were 34, you don't look it. That's awesome you are going to do some real racing in it. In my heart I'd love to, but I just don't have the time, money, or desire to try to compete competatively. I tossed the idea around of running street stang in my 90GT, you should look into that for your notch. Its a "relatively" simple and cheap heads up class, if there is such a thing. I may still go this route, but by the time I'm ready to really race I will be so far behind the pack that they'll probably be running 11's at that point.

:OT:
Sorry for not getting back to you on your email, I really appreciated it and it gave me a positive outlook on starting a family of my own as I'm having real problems with that right now... I'm just afraid of what might and will change when that happens! Hope to see you soon though at either Mason or Carlisle!

I know I still get carded for cigs! I'm glad I could give you some good advice and don't worry you have plenty of time to start your family. Enjoy life and get all you can out of it now cuz things will change for you after the child w/o you even having control of it. It's called being a parent and man do I feel a lot different but I will teach my daughter the love of the Stang as I did her Mommy. As I said before having to give up racing and other car stuff is just a myth unless it really not in your heart to go on with it. I have been taking Phoebe to the track since she was 6 months old and she loves watching the cars go down the track.
