Ok so I am researching a bunch of things regarding the 5.0l engine I have right now in my stang. I would like to get some opinions on what I should do. I first thought that I should swap out for a bigger engine. more cubic inches more horsepower. But the more I think about it should or shouldn't I. I am trying to find the best way to go.
I am looking to use this mostly as a street car with the odd weekend strip racing now and then. My goal is to keep it as a sleeper.
My question is what can I expect as far as horsepower and torque if I upgrade (heads, and internals etc) my 5.0l and supercharge it?
I have heard all sorts of numbers ranging from 300-900hp. I would like to have around the 450-500+ is this possible with a 5.0l and would it be a reliable street driver or am I going to be blowing parts all the time?
Thoughts?
Should I go big block or stay with the 5.0l?
