Cheap Horsepower?

That would be pretty cool.

Keep us updated when you get the ball rolling.

Box Panthers have more cheap options to gain power. Also, major upgrades are cheaper with 5.0L than with 4.6L

you can gain more power for less money, but you are starting off with a much slower car to begin with. a stock 5.0 box runs 18's, so i have to wonder how much it would cost to get it down to respectable track times, like say 14's.

a friend of a friend ran 14.81 (showed me the timeslip) with his 97 CVPI. he has PI heads/cams, intake, MM airbox/MAF, 3.73 gears, and a chip. he said it cost him a little under $1400 for everything he needed and did the work himself.

not trying to hate on the 5.0, but lets face it, ford phased it out 10 years ago and with good reason.
