[QUOTE="drh_5.0, post: 14321689, member: 162768"] Sorry if this is already a thread somewhere, at work on break didnt have time to dig it up...I am planning on adding a Vortech or Paxton tuner kit in near future and have all the full bolt-ons already along with upgraded radiator and Boss engine oil cooler. My plan is to be somewhere between 600-620 RWHP range...preferable 7 psi or lower boost... I have other mods planned in addition to the supercharger such as: PCV breather package, FR 0 heat range spark plugs, ID1000 Fuel injectors, and Vortech Boost-A-Pump. My question is I have seen there is a lot on how the Coyote 5.0 weak points are the connecting rods and the oil pump gears. Though I am not sure on exactly how much HP people/racers are pushing when their OPG's go on them. Or how much boost when a rod breaks. I do not daily drive my car, or track it. It is more a weekend warrior that may see a few strip runs here and there. I don't beat on my car but I don't baby it either...it see's 5500+ RPM at LEAST once everytime I drive it. Is it necessary to upgrade the OPG's at the power level I am looking for/ My driving type? I know it would be a good idea for more a "safe" setup...but I talked to some people who run over 600+ RWHP with stock gears going fine. Thanks in advance for your insight! :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
