[QUOTE="TERMIN8U!, post: 13950868, member: 84521"] Because the Ford Racing Whipple 525hp package is about $7500, plus the MT82 is crap and from my understanding pushing the 5.0 over 600hp is asking for it. Figure a Stock GT500 Engine/Transmission will run about $10,000. Sell the stock 5.0/MT82 for about $8000. $2000 for a 5.4L 550hp Engine/Trans that you can slap a smaller pulley and intake and tune and be about 550rwhp. Plus weight wise, Im sure a stock GT500 engine would weigh about the same as a 5.0 with a Whipple. Figure the Whipple 625hp package ($7500) Build the 5.0 to handle the boost so Forged Pistons/Rods, Crank ($4000). New Clutch and pray the MT82 holds up. Before you know it you're probably about $12,000+ into it. Buy a used GT500 Engine/Transmission ($10,000, -$8000 for the 5.0/MT82= $2,000). Add JLT Intake, Pulley and a Tune ($1,000). You get a reliable engine that can easily handle 600HP for $3000-$5000 when its all said and done. [/QUOTE]
