red 5.0 turbo vs DSM
New to the site, and I was driving on I5 north I think around lynnwood area, and I ran into a 5.0.
I pass him slowly thinking nothing of it, me and my buddie were going back out here to monroe. I thought eh its a young driver, 5.0 he prolly thinks hes the ----... so I slow down thinking of passed experiences with mustang owners cocky, and assholes. I spooled to about 5psi and let off to let him know...and next thing I know this 5.0 dirty as ----, bone ass stock looking, spools up and blows off. I'm like wtf?!?! I give the guy thumbs up for turboing his car. I have lots of respect for forced induction cars, and I downshift to third, and he lays into it and pulls on me. BTW I was only running 11psi because I cant ------- figure out where a leak is, or why It wont boost over 11, with a evo 3 16g ported and FMIC 660s yada yada yada, so I woulda been right with him at my goal of 22psi once I find my leak. I get back up next to him and he gives me a thumbs down. Pissed me off, but I let it go, and once again gave him a thumbs up and off I went. as he cruise by in rush hour traffic I was like sick car bro, and saw homemadeturbo.com on his window and wanted to know wtf setup he was running, well here I am and I'm hoping the 5.0 owner will respond, and hook it up with contact info to chat a bit. Long enough post, just though Id introduce myself and let you guys know the work you have done to some of these cars I highly respect. -Zak |

PS, it's tradition for n00bs to get flamed here. Best put on your asbestos underwear, son, because I just told you the truth and in no way flamed you... the worst is yet to come! |

werd, I know he woulda aten me alive from a roll I'm not doubting at all. I give the guy much respect. Flame all you want I get it all the time on my home forums site...www.forums.posdsm.com.
This IS my first car, and I'm doing what I can for my first car, so I'm not claiming to run 11s. Johnny - Why the thumbs down though? Whatever, just though I woulda seen what the 5.0 had. Awsome ---- though! |

Re: red 5.0 turbo vs DSM
he didnt say he was AWD, there are FWD turbo models
and to the poster, if your on stock internals i wouldnt suggest 22psi.. go with 18, you'll be happy enough, i ran 21 in mine but that was because i didnt care if it blew or not.. surpriseingly it survived me beating on it every day for 4 months, then a new owner for almost a year before it blew but you do seem to be somewhat ontop of fuel management at least so yours may fair better then mine did, i had no fuel mods |
