[QUOTE="Fiveoh93Snake, post: 2909969, member: 33354"] Well; first off I can admit some of the choices I posted could be termed as not necessarily easy to double the output on a 5oh. Increasing displacement would more then likely fit the bill as the most time consuming and pretty costly to double output. Supercharging I would still say would fall in as an "easy" way to double the original output. Any competent shade tree mechanic with a decent amount of knowledge would be able to install a supercharger and supporting components. Bottom line would come down to wallet thickness. Turbocharging would be a little more involved and probably wouldn't quite fall in easy but I dam sure wouldn't say its hard. Nitrous would definately fall in as easy and cheap such as you stated. And yes I would definately say all would fall in as reliable; I've definately seen a shitload of 5ohs with any of the above and live past 150K miles. So basically I still say; yeah its pretty easy to double output of a stock 5oh. :-p The overall comparison of the thread is a Bullitt vs. 93 Cobra (or foxbody) and I would friggin hope a 32Valve DOHC 4.6L w/a blower could at least double the output of a lowely 5oh; if not you better sell that pos. :-p My statment of 93Cobra vs. Bullitt was bonestock trim w/out a single mod; and I'll say again the 93Cobra should hang w/the Bullitt absolutely no problem. A little bit better driver in the Cobra and the Bullitt driver could have his hands full. I may be off on my guess here but I would think a bonestock 93Cobra could run a 13.8 no prob w/good driver an decent weather. A friend of mine had a Dark Highland Green Bullitt and when he was bonestock I believe he was turning 13.60s-70s so that should make it pretty close. The comparison w/just a couple mods (3.73s, shortbelt, bumped timing) was just to show how easy it would be to outrun the Bullitt.
