Ive been on this site many times before but after i sold my last stang i kinda was not around. My question has to do with a set up I am planing. I have found a super clean 1993 lx 5.0 5 speed with some mods. The mods are E303 cam, Systemax manifold, headers, cat back, bigger tb, 373's, subframes, msd ignition. If I pick up this car I plan to run a vorech v2 sq 8-10psi blower on it right away. I know the cam may not be ideal for this setup but my question is will this thing run with a proper wide band tune fine? I also plan to put some roller rockers in at the stock spec as well. What does everyone think, and what kind power do you think it will make at the wheels.?

Thanks! Rich

Well, i wouldnt be doing that to a 93 as they have crappy pistons. Stangs had forged pistons up until 92 in the 5.0s, although i cant remember what year it started. I think its like 86-88 though. But actually, the E303 is a boost cam....But if you decide to, it will be an EASY 350+ rwhp.

Ive heard of many people supercharging post 92 mustangs with the hyper pistons, I just know they really don't like spray or a turbo, Anyone else have anything to say?

The forged TRW pistons ran from 87-92, the hyper pistons will hold boost for a while, depending on how much, but they eventually crap out after a while. Before I supercharged it I'd at least get some forged pistons and that would freshen up the motor with new seals, and get roller rockers like you mentioned.

The max boost I would run is 8-10 psi. how safe would that be? I max also get the power cooler to drop the intake temps.
