[QUOTE="e85svt, post: 16435969, member: 169360"] If your goals are 500-550 you dont need a power adder to achieve this. Though itll be much easier and much more cost effective to do it with a blower. Full bolt ons on the stock longblock will net around 440-465 whp depending on the dyno and fuel you are running. In order to make 500 whp on a gen2 it's going to take cams at least and e85. That's really where the expense comes in also including labor. 18+ 5.0s have the benefit of a slightly wider bore size, direct injection, slightly more aggressive cam profiles, and a higher compression ratio than the gen 2 does and does not need that many modifications to make at or around the 500whp mark. Now, all of it depends on what you're going to do with the car. If you feel like you arent going to utilize all the power and you spend most of the time on the street and arent looking at running low e.ts then stick with being n.a especially if you want it to last. Then again gen 2s can handle well north of what your intended hp goal is but if you get greedy you'll regret it. So basically if you want a fun street strip car that's still potent, and has fun usable power stay n.a other wise if you can save for boost I'd do so because you know that you will always want more.
