It will suck while doing it though




if that's the case than you take any f-body,and i'll take my '95 gt......give us both $5k for mods for each and i'll guarantee you my '95 will show its taillights to the f-body in pretty much any competition...but that's because i could buy twice the things that the fbody owner can buy for the same money...



Yes, with some of the better known and higher selling NA mod parts this is true, but for FI parts the pricing doesn't go down as much no matter what engine you're talking about, so I'll tell you what, I'll take my 5k, and buy two things:

Single Turbo Kit (3500)
Forged rods/bolts/pistons (1500)

I'll do the install myself, because I can. I'll run 10 PSI to be conservative, that'll put me up around 600-700rwhp. Granted I'll blow up my 10 bolt rear after a month, but I'll toast you every time no matter what you do to your 5.0L engine for that money.

Then again, I could forgo the forged internals and go 5PSI on the stock block and internals safely, grab some 4.11 gears, and a few other mods, I'll be running around 500rwhp good for low 11's on street tires in the mid 120's for traps (and that's conservative).
