Tax refund should be coming in soon and it'll be spend on a S/C for my 5.0. I have been doing some research and I think for me, the Paxton kit will be the way to go. This is my DD for now and the centris seem to put the least strain on the engine since boost gets build high in the rpm range. My goal is to be right around 600 rwhp and to have the least mods installed to reach it.
The questions I have are:
1. Besides the S/C kit, what else would I need to get to 600 rwhp? (Intake, exhaust, TB, IM, etc...)
2. What can I expect to spend on the kit?
3. Does the stock clutch hold up to that power? How about the stock trans?
4. How invasive in the install? Is a lot of cutting required?
5. I understand that there is no magic # at which the engine will just call quits. However, it seems low 600s rwhp is right around there, correct?
Thanks!
