[QUOTE="Three21, post: 15468615, member: 158276"] The stock blocks of the old 5.0s can have trouble with anything over 500 to the wheels. Personally I vote PI 4.6 (99-04 GT) plus a turbo. Tear down the stock shortblock and put in a good set of rods and pistons, clean up the stock crank and balance everything. Freshen up the heads (depending on mileage) and put them back together. Stock PI intake, sct BA 2400 or lightning MAF, and pick up a used plenum and throttle body. 42lb injectors and new COPs and plugs. Twin in tank fuel pumps. FB performance valve body to tighten up the slushbox of a transmission with all new fluid. Rebuild the posi track if its going out, but stick with the stock 3.27 gears so the turbo has something to pull against. You don't have to but look into putting in a stall converter 3500rpm or so to help you spool up on the line. A quality 67mm turbo with .96 A/R and 500 will be a breeze and you'll have a safe, reliable combo. Sent from my LG-V496 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
