Is there a cheap way to gain about 50 hp. Im sure it requires many parts but let me know what is the cheapest way to gain some damn hp. My car is to slow. Besides a turbocharger or supercharger.

nitrous = best power per buck ratio power adder. Although, you'd probably destroy yourself if you dont know how to use it correctly.

theres hp for ya. just need $$$$. for 50 hp you will need a wet 50 shot. read the n20 faq about n20 and read and learn about n20 before you purchase it and blow your car.

cheapest way to gain 50hp is to drive down a steep hill in our cars

too bad that still isnt any HP gain at all. Just same HP with gravity helping ya out

If you really want gains and you want safe gains (no blowing up your engine) BOOST. Get a SF turbo and call it a day You'll gain more than 50 also

I dont think your lying about a modified d-17, but I question the beating of a 5.0 mustang, those were the fastest mustangs made.

I question a D17 beating ANYTHING...

Yea i know, I asked my manager about it and he said it depended on which body style. I forget which one is slower.

I dunno.....
I was going to buy a 5.0 mustang convertible here in Houston, and I test drove it and it flat out SUCKED.

It WOULD NOT peel out unless I powerbraked it, and even then it was pulling forward for about 5 seconds before the tires broke loose.

It was a dud I'm sure but by NO means are they the fastest.

I test drove a newer 4.6 and it was a bit better but by no means blazing.

I think they are fast cars, but I only considered getting one till I actually drove a few(four).
It just doesnt have that jer-you-in-the-seat feeling that a $20,000+ car should.(It was brand new)

Now I might have bought a used one if the price was right, but I wanted something new because you never know what a car has been through, and the warranty never lasts.

Listen to me, like I deep down give a damn about a warranty.
If I has a SF Turbo kit sitting in front of me right now, I would be heading outside right now to put it on (3:00 AM right now)

Fact is, I'm jealous...my cars slow.

sob.

Where did you test the 5.0 at. Performance mustangs. 5.0 were the strongest mustangs produced, but also there power has gone down if there is alot of miles on it.

Back in 92 I had an 88 5.0 GT. That thing would tear the rear tires loose without even dumping the cluth. Seriously I could be rolling at around five miles an hour and just stomp the go pedal. The rear end would spool right up and and I could slide that *** out. YOU DROVE A DUD. I bought it used and it probably had alittle work done to it but it was nasty fast. It was also a scary car to drive at it's limits. I remember doing around ninety around a bumpy corner and having the *** end dancing out with each bump. You want to talk about white knuckles? So in summary, fast car that was lousy if the surface was rough. My next car was a honda (with independant rear suspension).

WOOoo. My friend just bought a 5.0 mustang and is modding the crap out of it right now. He says he'll be pushing 600hp if he rebuilds the engine, but I think it's a lie. Anyways, it'd tear me and my civic up.

Back on topic: get yourself a new car...OR get SF turbo

I wouldnt mind having a 5.0, but I wish they made the cobra's or Saleen's a 5 liter.

Yeah the extra .4 displacement gives it an edge, but the ones I have driven werent all that fast, BUT they were all stock except one, which was actually pretty scray, but for the money he put into it I wouldnt want it.

BUT any 5.0 is going to smoke the average Civic.

 
Rep Power: 452

what if the civic was a 5.0, that would make one powerful civic. If I had the money, i would buy a 2003 cobra, they look sweet, but only had 17000 to buy my civic in 2002.

the thing that gives the 5.0 the biggest edge is the push-rod style engine as to compared with the 4.6 modular. i had a 2000 mustang gt, it hauled *** compared to my civic, majorly. 5.0s are much slower stock on stock to the modular 4.6's but the 5.0s are one of the easiest modded engines in exsistance. major horsepower for not much money.

our car; spend thousands, get 5-10 horsepower.

i'm happy with the sf power turbo set up. its worth the money to me. with the alcohol injection intercooler you'll be beating stock mustangs without a sweat.

How much is the complete SF turbo kit? I think if I save up my money for the next few months, I will have around 3 grand. Turbo would be nice. Can you get a BOV on a automatic, and would it sound good?
