Whoa! That's a lot of coin. That's about 2 grand more then I want to spend.
Good luck with the build.

A vortech or procharger is close to that price range....I just really wanted a roots style blower

Gas prices are gonna keep my mod list SHORT this year. Grats to you if you can swing it.

I dd an old 4 cylinder 5spd escape so gas isn't an issue. If I was using this car more it would take some more cash

JAA55 - good luck with the build. You are doing exactly what i would like to do. I have been look at one of those for a couple of months. Just trying to decide if I want to stay NA or not.

Fastlane productions has a twin turbo on their 2011 5.0. But I don't ever remember seeing and hp numbers on it.

Should be sweet. Guy on SVTP has a blown '11, and it sounds sick.

**thedak** · 03-08-2011, 01:23 PM

The Whipple kit is very nice.

As OEM as it gets.

**NateSVT** · 03-08-2011, 03:18 PM

**jaa55** · 03-08-2011, 05:43 PM

I would be all over E85 if we had a realible source for it out this way, and a few more in the area. For me to go get it now I would have to leave with 1/2 tank, then burn 1/2 off getting home :D

At the burn rate of the stuff, I'm not sure if the fun/gallon goes up, but the potential sure does

You need gas so why bitch about a need. Not like it's a want lol. I have to run premium in my vechiles as well. That's like buying designer cloths and then bitching about the price. my friend. Lol. If you wanna roll with the big dogs, you gotta pay with the big dogs. Haha.
