You guys are the best, you really are helping me out, I couldn't wait to get out of work tonight to see if anyone had answered my questions, I truly apreciate your time and information, and I will put it to good use. Thank you again for your help.

Just another quick question, does anyone make aftermarket fuel rails for 351W? looks like I'd have to buy a 5.0 fuel rail and modify it to fit the wider 351?

how well do 351W respond to supercharging, I heard that they were able to take more boost than a stock 5.0 and that they made a lot more power with the same boost because of the larger stroke/ displacement, My question is: how much can a 351W with a stock lower end take, can it handle 400-500hp? Or should I keep my goal Hp below 400hp if I want a car reliable enough to last more than a few runs.
