I see poeple talking about turbos and blowers, but who actually has either on there car, and run it daily??
Ive ran both an S-trim setup, and 60mm turbo setup on my 94 5.0
Also have a 01 4.6 ( stock though)
Now i know were not here to compare blowers to turbos, but if you wana talk about Lag, and all that bull... I'de sure take a turbo setup over a blower anyday.. I love FULL boost at 3k rpms ( not just 1psi), and the hellish low end torque the turbo makes.
Reason blowers are more popular has plenty of reasons..
-Blower setups on 4.6" are usually much cheaper ( $3k vs $5-6k)
-Blowers are much easier to install ( less down time, less parts)
-Turbos are feared because of the bull**** people feed others, without actually knowing the facts.. Examples: Turbo Lag, Excessive heat, Tons of piping, ect
None of which are even true, if the system was designed correctly.
