“BaD mOvE” bro it’s simple really you look at the title and the forum I picked tells you the type of engine so what else do you need? If you do need something else then you can just ask, and not be a retard! Others get it and just ask a simple question to clarify what I mean. Ive obviously not been into cars for very long and you can probably tell so I’m not really sure what to put.

You will spend more on the fuel system and tuning than you will the turbo kit. prepare for that.

Stock block 302... you want a cam with minimal overlap to keep the boost up along with cylinder pressures, keep timing very conservative and let the turbo make the power. A basic On3 kit at 15PSI on a stock 5.0HO will net over 550ftlb and 450hp under 6k RPM.. stud the block.. The basic 70mm turbo will do everything your stock block will hold. Sure more power can be made by the right combo of parts and some conservative tuning but you may loose the bottom end if things go south.
I suggest a minimum 255lph fuel pump and 42lb injectors, the newer LU47 injectors are nice and priced right but require adapters.

There is your advice, use it.

here’s some pictures of the car. The one kit I’ve been recommended has a fuel system that comes with it I can attach some links to the turbo if you want to check it out. I can’t relay the information correctly yet as I’m not knowledgeable enough on cars to give you a clear enough answer. Sorry for that I’m trying to learn as I go along.

If that block ever makes 600 Hp, that will be that for the block.

What seems pretty simple to me is to not insult the people you are asking for help!! (Which you have done since the beginning of this thread)
There are a ton of guys on here that will give you all the advice you could ever want, on their own time, without being paid (even while on vacation). You may want to stop and read what you type, before you hit “post reply” ...... or continue to shut the book of Foxbody knowledge one page at a time!

I’ve hung around 20 something year olds like yourself and it’s a shame how dudes like you act. My son, who’s 23, has respect, says thank you, Mr. and Mrs, etc, doesn’t act like you do. It’s too bad, I didn’t act that way when I was your age, I’m 38, what gives you the right to act like the way you do?

This 'old fart' will tell you you ain't make'n 600 hp with that block, well maybe once or twice. It is a good looking stang, maybe you should shoot for a turbo and 450 hp. It could be dependable and a riot to drive.
BTW get off my lawn!!!!

Where in Cali are you?

600 is just fine. And just to clarify I’d like them to be reliable so I guess what I’m asking is what are some kits that you know have good reviews
Click to expand...

Alright this + your picture is something I can work with. First, let me ask you something, though: why are you here? The way you come across makes it seem like you have a singular purpose of: Answer my questions, and I don't wanna hear any , idiots.

But, this is more a community. We'd like to see your project and progress over time, and to get to know you. We don't mind helping out the courteous passerby, but even in your initial post you neither seem like the type that cares to be a regular, nor are you courteous. Also, no meaningful answer could be given due to complete lack of information. No the forum title doesn't give a clue about anything other than what year-range of Mustangs this information is likely to be used on. The engines range from little 2.3L 4cyl (with turbos from the factory) engines to stroked/bored aftermarket blocked 468+ c.i. engines, and sometimes even swapped motors from other platforms. So, you caught from a regular, and your response was to go down the tube with it. That seems pretty consistent with the kind of guy who's not going to be here in a month.

I like helping other Mustangers, most here do, but honestly I wonder why I should invest the time given the impression you've made and the direction this pretty clearly seems to be headed.

So then, I'm a retard because you didnt bother to read the entire library of sht that's in here regarding forced induction, and the limitations of a stock block 302?

Here Add boy, let me show you how you started your thread since you've forgotten

Click to expand...

So, you don't want to know about anything else...you're not asking for a kit, you asked a very open question with no qualification.
No....what else will I need, no....this is what I have,....no...how much will it cost,....

Just...what turbos makes big power.

The problems here are so many and you're going about this so poorly I'm gonna list them numerically so my points wont get forgotten before you read the next one.

#1. This is a fox forum. That by itself doesn't automatically dictate what engine you have in your car. There are dozens here with every freakin engine you can stuff into one of these cars including different brand swaps. Couple to that the dozens of guys that have vastly superior aftermarket versions of a 5.0 from Ford/World/Dart/Merlin. NOTHING about this forum guarantees that the engine is automatically a stock block 5.0.
I'm on here. Does that mean I have a stock block 5.0 in a fox mustang?
#2. Stating out of one side of your mouth that you are new here, while at the same time insulting the few that bother to offer you advice is a direct path to being ignored. Or banned whichever comes first.
#3. Read. 600hp + stock block 5.0 = BOOM!
#4. Read. You aren't gonna get any help better than what you can provide for yourself. Any legwork you do for yourself as a precursor helps you to ask intelligent questions when it comes time to commit.
#5. if you want a recommendation and you can't be bothered to fill in the rest of the blanks, I ain't asking you dick.

(I'll just get on here and tell you to quit wasting everybody's time with your Gen zzz zzz " somebody do this for me, I can't be bothered" attitude.)
