Why run it on the edge like that? IF your going to build something to make those kind of numbers, why not build the motor to hold 8xx for instance and run it at high 6xx. It should never blow. So why go out, spend 10grand and void your warrany making your, ALREADY OVER PRICED, mustang have 6xxwhp and blow it up a week later, cuz thats all it could take that power for…At that point, whats the extra 4grand or less to put a stout bottom end in the machine and have piece of mind? Do they even make aftermarket parts to hold extensive power levels for these 5.0’s yet? > > Although i suppose you could argue that without these guys testing the waters, we’d never know what a stock 5.0 CAN hold… > > Im guessing you guys see my point, although the more i think about it, in a way, im right but in another im wrong. Publicity, Evolution has made themselves a house hold name on any domestic forums because of their youtube videos. And they always do it in steps, a normal owner wouldnt go the same route. I know most of the '11 GT and new V6 guys are holding off for at least a year to wait and see how all these new mods hitting the market are going to actually perform in the long run before buying. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/first-turbo-2011-5-0/253816)._
