Not true at all. There are plenty of turbo stangs running on 100k stock bottom ends. There are also plenty of stock SC engines over 100k too. You could run 5 psi on a 100% stock motor no problem, but here is my thought on the matter (considering I have a turbo stang
)
BE PREPARED TO PAY, if you want a turbo stang. I have about 8k in mine in just the last year alone. They are not cheap, espically if you want to realise their full ability. If you want a turbo system, buy on used, or a car with one already on it. Check
www.turbomustangs.com in the classifieds, there are plenty. I must admit, I think nothing compares to the sound of my car, nothing. I have had my share of troubles, but then again, so has everybody on TM.com
The coolest part about my car is the "wow" factor. Every car show, or everytime I go to the track, I have a crowd around my car 24/7. It is a little bit of a ego builder
If you just want fast, go the 347 route, like others have said, you can add a power adder later. If I were you, I would look into the 408 route. You could easily make over 500rwhp on pump gas. It would not cost any more than I have spent.
