Thats all your opinion but we know what we are doing so thats all cool and its a m5r2 btw the block is not going to crack at 500 horse and your blower should be screaming at 8 psi cause supercoupe guys can pump theirs up to 16 easy.

This isnt any engine guy he lives in new york and is the number 1 recomoned tuner by everyone he travels around the world tuning

This statement has proven your ignorance/youth.

You do not understand the concepts of CFM, It takes a TREMENDOUS amount more airflow to keep a V-8 at 8PSI compared to the Super coupe's V6.

Are you going to believe some guy in New York, or a guy that actually factually HAS A M90 roots blower on a 5.0 with similar specs, and has been dyno'ed.

Go find me a 5.0 powered ford ANYTHING with an M90 ontop with a stock long block that makes more than 450hp and I will eat my shoe, film it, and put it on youtube.

A stock 03-04 mustang cobra makes 390hp at the crank, and that is with a much more efficient M112 blower, and a far more advanced engine right out of the gates. If an M90 could make that kind of power, why did they bother using the more expensive, more advanced M112?

This isnt any engine guy he lives in new york and is the number 1 recomoned tuner by everyone he travels around the world tuning

Think what you want, but I've never heard of them, but stock 5.0's do not take that kind of power kindly, nor will yours make that much.

How do u get that number when stock mustangs have about 300 horse

Stock 5.0 mustangs make 170whp give or take.

I was using the 03-04 390hp cobra as an example of blower efficiency.

Here are the Dyno results from a bone stock 1998 5.0 V-8 explorer (GT40P Heads) from Torque Monster (Company that builds V-8 ranger swap headers).


Baseline Dyno test results for our 1998 Ford Explorer 5.0 V8 "Eddie Bauer" Edition 4x4 factory stock.

Results:
157.7 hp
203 ftlbs. torque

Ha you must like making your self sound smart and tell others there wrong . But i dont care what you say cause i know what im doing and how to build a motor so thanks for your input.

The 95 Mustang was rated at 215hp at the flywheel.

No, You do not know what you are doing if you think an M90 is going to make 500whp on a nearly stock longblock. Period.

 

[gjm4l]

learn something and move on, sorry kid.

Still totally a fan of the build though. Not to mention the awesome diamond plate aluminum bed cover I know your gonna build and take a TON of pics of

 

[v8-ranger]

Ya ill take a bunch of pics for you i cant start it for a couple weeks because of other obligations so like in two weeks ill get it going im debating if i should paint it or polish it and spray it with a clear coat so it stays polished? What do u guys think would look cooler

 

[gjm4l]

high gloss with clear. unless it's the only shiny on the truck, then paint it the same color as the truck! Remember I hate shiny but I'd LOVE to see somebody making the bed cover I used to dream of building (actually when I was around 16-17)

 

[v8-ranger]

Ya i guess that would be a lot of shiny too never thought about that but im going to draw plans up tonight so i can get it all on paper and out of my head . I dont have exact measurements yet just rough measurements so check later and you will see the plans

UMMM, no. The 'stang 5.0l had anywhere betwwen 225 and 205. The engines are all basically the same, the difference was was the way they tested. Up to 92 (225 hp) they tested just the engine. 93+ was tested with all accessories on the engine.

My '94 Cobra, when it was mostly stock: (full exhaust only)

275 HP at the crank. (Ford said 240, you cant trust them.)


Cast iron GT40 heads
Cast aluminum Cobra intake manifold
Crane 1.7 rocker arms
24lb fuel injectors
Cobra specific ECU (computer)
"Cobra" stamped valve covers with build sticker and signature
Engine oil cooler
Front mounted power steering fluid cooler
Lightened flywheel
Phosphate coated transmission gears
Cobra specific underdrive pulleys
Cobra specific camshaft

Edit: I wouldnt even think about building over 400 HP from a factory block. They will split in half!! It may hold up for a while, but be forewarned.

 

[v8-ranger]

Well eventually i plan in getting a better crank and pistons but as of now i cant afford everything i just want to get my truck on the road but some day i wil upgrade the block it will last a long time if its taken care of so im not to worried about it as of now

You've got nothing to worry about now. Your not making anywhere near enough power to split the block, not with a m90. They cant move enough air to make big power numbers on a 5.0l. Trust me on that, I'm a major boost junkie!!


I've owned:
