Despite Ford saying the new 5.0 wouldn't like boost....

Procharger doesn't care

:metal:

510+ HP!!!!!!!

I really like how the new stangs get a seperate belt to run the supercharger, hated the older mod cars with the serpentine belt running the blower, nothing but trouble.

This is what I have been waiting to see. Now we will have to watch for long term testing and what problems arise.

I was watching a dyno video yesterday of a turbo 5.0. 6 PSI I believe. Over 500rwhp.

Not sure where you heard Ford saying that. FRPP has superchargers for the new 5.0 in their catalog. They claim 624hp w/ 9 psi. I'm guessing thats at the flywheel, so maybe 525 at the wheels.

the team who designed and built the engine said it.

http://www.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/m5lp_1003_2011_ford_mustang_gt_50_coyote_engine/short_block_research.html

The Coyote team says the forged. powdered-metal connecting rod is the least robust link in the 5.0 chain. Engineers noted it is absolutely strong enough for its naturally aspirated application in the Mustang, but just absolutely strong enough. It's worth noting that while the Coyote rod shares its big- and small-end diameters plus its center-to-center length with the 4.6 rod, the Coyote rod has been redesigned to more evenly distribute bearing loads and is definitely an improved piece.

Most ominously, supercharging will require a stronger forged rod, so we expect to see those, and, no doubt, a short-block in the FRPP catalog before long. This adds a whole new layer of commitment to bolting a blower on a Coyote. We'll have to let the brave among us prove the standard Coyote rods' boost tolerance. For those planning on a rod-exchanging teardown right away, Ford says the Cobra's Manley forged rod will just fit.

Now that the FRPP blower package is on the market, it leads me to believe that maybe that was said before more extensive forced induction testing was done on the stock rods.

I don't know why Ford doesn't put forged rods in the mustangs, they know what we are going to do with them.. :D

[FastRedPonyCar]

lol true. I'd pay an extra...what? $1000? to have the rods swapped in during the build.

They did in the 03-04 cobras :jester:

Edit to my previous post: $55 per forged manely rod. That's what they cost ford. The regular non manley rods? $1.60. that's why they don't put forged rods in them.

[TheJeanyus]

The regular non manley rods? $1.60.
Would those be "womanly" rods? :jester:

I would pay the difference in a hearbeat.

they should make it an option :D

[FastRedPonyCar]

yeah I think pretty much anyone even remotely interested in making more power would... EASILY. If it were a $1000 option, I would want it without even thinking twice.

LOL. Yep that is cheaper than the NAV I have in my 08...
