Getting back on track, OP I think, from your posts, that you would have more fun with a Whipple or other twin screw type than a centrifugal or turbo and this is coming from a turbo guy. Nothing beats a TS for fun on the street and power out of the hole. I would build with a little lower compression and install the new Whipple kit. You won't have to do things all over again to run N/A and then add FI. Just install the Whipple and run their tune. With about 10-1 instead of 11-1 you can still make the big power but have a little safety cushion for 93 pump gas. You can drive it easy and stay out of boost until you have some miles on it and then just let-er-rip.

Will changing the compression not requires different tune?

Rford, what's up bro? Steve kick your dog or something?
Hahaha no it's be WW3 if he kicked my boy Clutch!

But Idk I never had a problem with steve until the on3vswhipple thread and I can only bite my toungue so many times then did a little research and found out EVO says there making 1000+ HP and Steve goes from saying BBR has the HIGHEST HP COYOTE IN THE COUNTRY...On this thread to in PM saying just highest HP at KOTS...Its shit like that I can't stand then he wants to take it to pm and tuck tail in every thread that he spews BS in. Just calling it how I see it... In the end i think it would take more than 950hp to go 8.89@148. Which is what EVO has to back there 1000+ statement.

And besides the point I fuckin hate 5.0s and like talkin shit BAHAHAHA

Idk the only tune I ever had was from evolution and shortly after my car started smoking and has bad blowby

On the phone they assured me this wouldn't happen before I bought the tune
and I sent them an email afterwards with no response

And customer service was horrible




How do you know your tune was a Jon Lund tune? Evo does a lot of their own tuning on these motors. So was it an Evo tune or a Lund tune or do you even know?

+100. Exactly what I was gonna say. If you were draggin solely go turbo, but for all around drivability and torque from the jump whipple ftw.

Should I go procharged instead? I want a fast STREET car lol and I want to be fast from a digg but still pull up tip

I loved my turbo 06 but I think I can go way faster with this 5.0

Especially with 15x10s and good suspension
I'd still do turbo. These engines are the shit. You just need to do your homework to find out whos kit is performing well. The ability to run the compression these cars do make for a wicked street car.

I already boiled street tires first and second with just a intake and tune I was thinking with 11:1 , a turbo, and 15x10I mts, I would be able to get out pf the hole hard on the street and then by the time I spool be gone lol

Just my logic on the street

I was debating between the two and ended up going procharger, I think at the end of the day you can make great power with many FI options it just comes down to your personal choice.

You can tune your car to produce full boost at the line. I can see 15 psi at about 4500 or so. "lag" is a term blower skerdy cats use to pull you from the side that will spank that ass lol.
