If you want to get the most power for the buck spent then that would
be a whole different story as I see it
Sure ... I'd then go along with what has already been said by others
Stay with the NA method
First thing to think about is the end result of different levels of power
Lets stick with RWHP since most relate to that cause of dyno pulls
500 motor is around 425 at the wheels
I will filter this post around what I know to be fact with NA combos and
drivability.
When I talk of drivability I speak in terms of your modified Stang driving
just like a little stocker with the exception of cam lope
NO
stalling ... NO
bucking ... NO
unstable idle
NONE of that stuff you see peeps talk about with a combo that is more
serious than just ... simple bolt on stuff
We have had MANY peeps on this very forum make 1 hp per ci and have
such of an outcome when talking drivability issues
Of Course ... we are talking about a custom tune here
So with your combo you are looking at 331 at the wheels
This is based upon ALL parts being well suited to each other
I can't say anything about that cam but from what others have said .........
you might not have the best cam ... but ... generally speaking ...........
I'd say a ballpark level of power would be 331 to 350 with very good
drivability
You might be able to go up to 375 but I would guess that is about the
limit for really good drivability
Now ... if you just gotta have that additional 50 to 75 hp
You can go more radical with NA methods but it ain't gonna behave
like a little stocker
More power can be had with PA and you can avoid a lot of the issues
with dirvability but of course ... your cost will go up
There is the juice if you wanna deal with the bottle and all
Blower or Turbo is always there with more cost than the juice
The thing about going PA with your current setup is
Going over 450 puts you knocking on the door of block splitting power
Just more stuff for you to think about
