I think ypu dont have your facts straight. You said that people spend alot of money on V8s and get smoked by half prived turbo 4 bangers? Ever had a V8? You can buy a 1991 5.0 mustang for 2500 and take the 3500 or so for the turbo setup on your car and put it on the mustang and it would eat your car all day long.
i think you need to get your facts str8.... the 5.0 is the biggest piece of @!#$ ever made... say what you will but 200 hp in a cavy would eat that pile of JUNK!
12's......here i come
If the 5.0 is a pos, then why is it one of the most popular engines to upgrade and one of the cheapest? for the 3500-4000 to put a turbo on a cavy for 200hp the 5.0 could be pushing 325 and eat the cavy. Granted the 5.0 is heavier, but 125 more hp is no joke. So if you havent got it yet, 325 > 200. Power to weight ratio is good no?

i have no idea where you came up with that statement....

once again, you should check yourself.... for 3500-4000 to put into my cavy i would be pushing close to 400hp with a forged internal engine from top to bottom and a 200 shot of nitrous plus somekind of forced induction... so LET ME DO THE MATH FOR YOU....
bored, forged engine---175hp
turbo or s/c-----------+80hp
200 shot--------------+200hp
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------455hp
NEED I SAY MORE? I think you should find a forum for the "almighty 5.0" and waste their bandwith........
12's......here i come
actually if u looked in my profile i have a 94 5.0..and for 3500 i got 345whp but i spent 10 on the car so im still over mine. and i dont like the 1991 and i wouldnt buy one for 2500 cuz thats just for a beat piece. im saying in general you get the guys they come up next to you wit their new GT or their Z28 and you blow there doors off...i agree wit you on mustang i love my Cobra to death.

lol man i love the 5 liter arguments. ask any serious racer and theyll tlel you that a fox body mustang with a 5 liter is the cheapest car to make go fast in a straight line. simple as that, theres no arguement. ive got more than enough friends with fast 5 liters. a stock one ewill take a 200 shot of spray all day long and run into the 11's like that. my buddy ran a blown 5 liter for 6 or so years, made 545 whp and ran 10.60's, street driven every day except for winter. car was tame and streetable,m stock bottom end, built heads, cam, blower, headers exhaust gear and suspension, maybe 10 grand into the whole setup, and thats in cdn funds. i love my cavy and i wont sell it becuase i love the look people give me when i beat them and itll be better in a couple wheeks when my JRC fmic arrives so i can mount it all, but theres no denying it, if you wanna go fast in a straight line, a 5 liter fox body stang is the cheapest and easiest way to do it. anyone who argues that fact is ignorant and biased.
anyways, im doign my setup like yours, all under the car, but im running the 8 inch JRC FMIC, thinking ahead for when i build my motor, no need for a bigger ic then. good luck withhte setup and let us know how it works out

your forgetting a few things, your tranny, clutch and axles wont hold anythig near 400 hp, your gonna spend 50 on a clutch, 100 or more to build the tranny and another 500 or so for axles. the stang you put in a cliutch and your good as gold. the 8.8 will take whatever abuse you throw at it. you can argue this all you want, but you can not beat a 5 liter dolar for dollar, pick up a mustang mustangs and fast fords magazine and check out their prices on things, you just cant beat them.

see making the power isnt the hard part. making it reliably is, and then getting the power through the drivetrain is another story, people often dont consider the cost of the axles and tranny when they say they can make x amount of power for x amount of dollars. i plan on making 450 with a built motor, built tranny, axles, all the fun stuff, im gonna do it right the first time around and overcompensate for everything
