power adder advice!!!
 
im about about to try and sell a 31 a model i have in the garage to further mod my 5.0. well here the question, what should i go with; centrifical supercharger, roots blower, or a twin turbo setup. i am presented with quite a problem here b/c i love the way the whine of a supercharger sounds yet also a loud ass blowoff valve is also a heavenly sound! my car is an automatic though so i don't know how well the blowoff would be, also i would like the power to be available on the bottomend as well as top end also. i also have a stock bottom end too.
whatever advice yall have about this would be greatly appreciated and i will also be on a budget ranging from about $2800 to $4000 depending on what i get for the a model!
Please help me decide!!!:pray:

tell me more about the a model.....

I don't think $4000 will be enough for a TT setup. I'd go with a centrifugal from Vortech, ATI, or Paxton. They'll make more than enough power to send the stock rods into the oil pan without costing nearly as much a turbo setup. I'm not a fan of roots blowers on pushrod motors since they make good low end power already.

I don't recommend picking a power adder based on sound. Pick the one that best fits your application and budget.

From the bottom to the top KB!

If you drive the car everyday or take extended trips in your 5.0, buy a single turbo kit.

Centri blower noise gets old after awhile. Trust me

:hmm: Yes, do tell more about the 31 Ford!

Would you be interested in trading for a turbo setup?
I've been looking for something like that.

email me pics (of the Ford): matt@specclutch.com

More about that 31 Ford!!!

I would go for the single turbo set up.

I don't think that twin set ups are that more efficient than a very well spec'ed out single set up.

you 2 need to get in line:D:D


I would also do a single turbo.you can do a heads,cam and intake with a single 70mm turbo on a stock bottom end and make more than you will need

How many miles does your bottom end have on it does it smoke or use oil,if so i would focus on that first.what about a nitrous kit:jester: or 2 :metal:
