Reply to "What do you guys think of..."

I think it would be easier to pull off a twin turbo than it would a supercharger. You don't have room in the fron of the engine to add the pulleys and in the back you would have to drive it at the flywheel somehow. If you have Turbos they use heat energy that would normaly just be wasted anyway. You would have to do a lot of fabrication of ducting, but it might be easier than fabricating a drive system. Both systems need to be plumbed for lubrication oil from the pan somehow. I am thinking of eventualy, in three years or so, doing a twin turbo thing on my low compresion moter. Of course if you run any serious boost at all it pretty well dictats an injection system. I always thought that where the screen on the engine bay is now would be a dandy location for a water to air intercooler. It would follow the air flow of the compartment. I also thought a couple of K&N filter for like the 5.0 mustangs would work well at the end of scoops for the window/rear gill areae. Of course you would have to have some reinforcement where the gills were as that is a load bearing structure. Either way it sounds like a really big job. But if done correctly, with the right engine and supporting parts, you should be able to get 1000 to 1200 reliable horsepower. That is if you belive the articles in 5.0 and hot ford magazine.
