Picked up a 5.0 this weekend

[JSkwarek]

Most will think I'm nuts but I sold my '08 Shelby this weekend and picked up an '11 5.0L. Looking to order some exhaust and intake today. Thinking JLT for intake but see the MMR piece too.

Who likes what, and what dealers running the best prices right now?

TIA,
Jason

Well looking at your past history I'd say you'll hang on to this one for about 2 years.:lol1:

 

[JSkwarek]

2 years will be pushing it. HA! Once I mod them I get bored with them and have to buy something new. My local Ford dealer loves me.

pointless thread without pics.

Just curious, what made you get rid of the GT500 for a 2011 GT? I understand you like to change cars a lot, but what attracted you to the GT over the GT500?

Congrats on the new car. I have a JLT on my car. I havent saw any data on the MMR CAI.

Will try and get pics up some time this week.

As for getting rid of the Shelby, honestly she was a great car but showing her age a little. I had damn good positive equity in her and picked up the GT pretty darn cheap. I've been waiting eagerly for the 5.0 for a few years and now that they've been out for awhile and the aftermarket support is picking up I decided it was time to make the deal happen. The Shelby was the 4th Forced induction Ford I'd played with and want to build a NA car. Goal is pretty lofty at 500RWHP NA, we'll see how it goes, looks like the Coyote has the potential to do it.

Gotcha. It looks like 500rwhp NA is definitely possible.

I bought the Airaid CAI, and a BAMA tune, from American Racing. I like the package, made my car feel more powerful and responsive. Have not had it dynoed yet. that will come. I am waiting to get my 3:73 gears installed first.

 

[2011fiveliter]

excuse me, it is not American Racing, it is American Muscle. Sorry for the misprint.

Not sure I would have made the same dicision but congrats nonetheless.

congrats...you will love this car..they are awesome.. I am amazed at the results we have gotten with just a few bolts ons and tune on ours

I would recommend a JLT.. they have the choice of a carbon fiber or plastic tube and a SCT XCAL3

we price match :beer:

Im in the market right now. What did you pick the 5.0L up for if you dont mind me asking?

 

[SID297]

Congrats, post some pics.

 

[99riocobra]

Congrats!! I go to pick mine up from the dealer tomorrow

 

[ViciousJay]

welcome to the pack!

 

[z28th1s]

Congrats :beer:

What color, trans, options, etc? :shrug:

 

[JSkwarek]

Paid right around $32K, forget the exact amount, sticker was $38K and some change. She's white with M6, 3.73's, Brembo's, Rapid Spec 402A, HID, 19" wheels (already pulled them off and put TF wheels on). I think the only option I didn't get was the rear view camera, don't like the fact that it's built into the wing.

I would stay away from the MMR CAI. JJ@WMS tested it and lost HP over the stock unit.

I would recommend:

Steeda
JLT
Airaid

They are proven and many vendors have tunes for them. :rockon:

 

[JSkwarek]

I've decided to go with JLT for intake, have liked it on my past projects. Now finding one in stock so I can get it by the weekend seems to be the challenge I face.
