LOL. I imagine so

It's also by far the ugliest blower setup I have ever seen (the 5.0 version that is). A Vortech S trim would be a great blower for a moderate street setup with a stock shortblock.

Doesnt a 2valve modular put out MORE torque than a 5.0?

not hardly

im runn9ing all fac internal with mufflers and a filter thats it and i thought the timing was controlled by computer because someone told me i couldnt adjust timing using a light and twisting distributor

ohh and i was talking when i build my car it is strock now but im going to be running just a supercharger cam no custom grind stuff just al parts out of a catalog and probably a forged 347 stroker im planning heads cam intake and the stroker kit ohh and my car is 5 speed

90-93 were rated 275 ft/lbs and 300 ft/lbs.

97-98 300 ft/lbs. @ 4800rpms


99+ 302+ ftlbs @ ~4000 rpms

What do 5.0s typically peak at?

[QWKSNKE]

Average 5.0 usually peaks rear wheel torque around 285-290 below 4000 rpm. Only reason I posted rwtq numbers is because I don't recall what the advertised rating was.

The 93-95 cobras torque peaked around 4200 rpm and was advertised at 290 tq. My car in stock trim actually put 290 torque at the tires when I bought it in 1998.
In regards to the 99-up they were closer in peak torque #'s as the 5.0's but they made it higher in the rpm while the standard 5.0 made it lower

Yea I knew you said it needed the lower end torque so I was trying to figure out what everything peaked at.

Peak torque numbers don't mean very much. 5.0's make more torque at low rpms than mod motors, and the total area under the torque curve is much higher.

Dyno graphs?
