will have Nitrous on it and potentially a blower or turbo...was dead set on getting my s-trim upgraded to a T-trim but i'm thinking going turbo instead...either way it will initially be NA for breakin, also haven't decided on cam yet

Turbo if you have the money to spend. What cams are you considering?

the major limiting factor

MPH blower or turbo cams or a nitrous cam and just run a 200-300 shot since i already have the nitrous kit set up on the car...could even add a second gear stage too pretty easy lol

Tim's cams make good power and have a pretty decent idle. I think the 5.5 and the nitrous should make it pretty torquey

i'm thinking about just getting a nitrous specific cam and then later on when i have the dinero for a turbo add in the turbo cam...turbo set up for it will be custom anyway and will probably be easier done with motor out of the car and the motor will have to come out for the cams anyway(can't take a 5.4 valve cover off in the car)

just ordered MPH nitrous cams :metal:

Just now read this topic. At first I was wondering where you got a hold of a V6 that could make it to 5.5L. :meth: When do you think everything will be together? Post up whenever you head to the dyno.
