A partner of mine that lives in Las Vegas, NV was wondering what he could do to his '95 convertible 5.0 with 5 speed to get a little better performance on the street.

We don't know what gears he has, all I do know he doesn't have posi...

What would you suggest ???

A blower, I think might get him a 'little' more power.

Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh yes...I dream of bolt-on's for 5.0 all the time.

From suspension and brake upgrades, to engine and body appearance parts.

For me, if I had a bank vault of cash to pull from, I'd have Griggs Racing install their GR40 suspension kit, and have them upgrade the rear diff.

I don't know what kind of smog laws you have in Nevada, but if you aren't restricted too much, look at getting a combination of intake, heads, cam, and a complete exhaust sytem that compliment each other.

I personally like the Edelbrock systems. Holly is suppoed to have a nice system too. There are a myriad number of bolt-on choices available for the 5.0 engine. Edelbrock, Holly, Ford, Weiand, Canfield, Brodix, Yates...the list goes on and on. It all depends on what he wants. And that's just thinking NA. If he wants to bolt-on a power adder...well, you get my drift. He has a multitude of choices.

Don't forget, the more he does, the more important it becomes to upgrade the fuel and ignition systems.

There's a really good article in the magazine, 5.0 Tech Guide. I just bought it last night because there is an article within where they installed the exact Edelbrock system I want for my car.

They left the fuel system stock after installing heads, intake, and cam, made a few pulls on a dyno, then later upgraded the 19lb. injectors to 24lb. and installed a fuel regulator and a 190lph fuel pump.

With just the bigger injectors, regulator, and fuel pump, they gained another 13 horses. So you can see the importance of upgrading related systems too.

Anyway, the sky is the limit. It all depends on what he wants to achieve.
