saw this one already

think it might be much for my motor tho
thanks charles

if your looking @ brenspeed then check out the novi 2200 and just have them do a good conservative tune around 435 @ the RW and you should be fine for a while .
just my 2 cents .

Paxton or Vortech would work just fine with a stock engine as long as the boost is not turned-up.

Truth. 05-09 best years

This is the hard part, giving up the body style.

It's an expensive body style and Ford in my opinion is making even more expensive with the increasing costs for engine replacement parts and limited options for short blocks. It's over 5k for a steel B53 block and a good 4,6 aluminum shortblocks built by performance shops are just as expensive.

05-09 v6 hulls can probably be had for near free - then go with LS or 5.0 or windsor power. Lito and others have demonstrated the wiring isn't anything to be afraid of.

You can't be serious.

Since my car was paid for it made for an easier decision. Either trade my car in on a new 15 and pay 20,000 or pay 6,000 and get a Procharger. Now I not only have a car that is paid for, but it also makes 500 to the wheels!

You actually helped me load the Procharger kit into my car since the box wouldn't fit in my trunk last July. Small world!

I've seen 427 cars, but that isn't cost effective. Are you talking about the 5.0 swap?

I'm mostly referring to putting a Windsor in a s197. It makes zero sense at all. The block will break at the point a 4.6 is just getting started. Then there's all the benefits of having an ecu. I suppose you could go stand alone on a W motor but why put all that time and energy into a project that has a finite hp limit due to block constraints and will never have the driveability of a modern mod motor? To me it makes no sense at all.

Yep I remember you, I also remember how immaculate your ride was inside and out and was wondering how we were going to fit all that into the car without scuffing it up. Sounds like the install went well, those Prochargers can be a knuckle buster. Did you come back and get a custom tune at the dyno shop or did you run the package tune and do some pulls at a dyno day?

In any case your car was sick and extremely clean, you really take great care of your ride.

Agreed on the Ford racing option. Another is the Edelbrock e-force. In its stage 1 form, it's adding well over 100hp at around 5lbs of boost, so it's not beating on those toothpick rods too hard. Another factor is the valve that keeps it out of boost if your foot isn't in it so that helps preserve both the bottom end and gas mileage. That's what I have, and while I don't have a ton of time with it yet, it seems pretty solid.

I think the FRPP 500-ish hp example has a strengthened block (boss.) Somewhere around $10,000 OTD. I suspect you could run this engine on the stock ECU if you wanted to - provided you could ignore the cam data - but there are numerous aftermarket solutions for a couple grand.

Can you get to 500 n/a hp with a 5.3? I'm forgetting what your car made, I think it was close. Edit: right on the money. I'd expect the 427 would make a lot more torque. I think it would be a fine street machine.

Still makes zero sense to me. Going backwards about 30 years for less power and torque than a bolt on supercharger would provide with a stock 4.6 3v.

I grew up in the age of distributors and carburetors. I don't miss either component and can't comprehend why anyone would want to spend big money to go backwards. There isn't any advantage to be had. But that's me.

sure there is, the zombie apocolypse.
