you could be real bad ass and get a dual 4 barrel carb intake. then run twin turbos. one for each carb. mite be over kill but what ever.

i wished i still had the mag that they turboed a 5.0 on the cheap i dont mean cheaply done but it was under 2k. in the mag they said every 15psi x2 the hp of bolt ons. what it means is say a intake adds 25 hp on a na 5.0 on a turbo 15psi motor that intake will add 50hp. they tested this out on a dyno with all the parts and it held true for most parts execpt for pulleys and stuff like that. can you trust every thing you read maybe not but i thought it was cool.

can wait to see that motor running. i was all most tempted to use that motor in my sa. but after rebuilding the 2.3 turbo block for the rs turbo capri. i deiced id rather keep a rotary in my car.

hey when you get what ever car your putting that motor in running we need to race. the turbo capri vs you 5.0 car. stock for stock the 2.3 made more power. but i want to see whats it like when both motors are built what happens.
