The engine is the original 5.0 with Edelbrock 6037 heads and a B303 cam with Cobra 1.7 roller rockers. Intake is the Saleen option Saleen/Vortech intake with a MAC 70mm TB and spacer. Mass Air is a Pro-M 80MM with a UPR polished powerpipe to the S-trim Vortech S/C making 13# of boost. 38# Lucas injectors that have been reflowed to 42# and a 255lph intank and a vortech inline pump make up the fuel system. Mac shortie tie into a Bassani X pipe with highflow cats and then dump into 2 chamber flowmaster which are connected to the original tail pipes with Saleen SC exhaust tips. I also added a NOS dry kit with a 50shot pill. With the NOS she makes 601rwhp. Unfortunately there isn't enough fuel to sustain this so without it she is good for 510rwhp and 457rwtq off the blower by itself. I added the NOS to use as an aftercooler and hope to upgrade the fuel system someday to utilize it more. Of course the stock block and rotating assembly will be replaced with a 331 stroker rotating assembly in a stronger block.
Cooling is done with a 94/95 Mustang electric fan and a Cobra 3 core aluminum radiator. I have an adjustable thermostat for the fan so I can control it's on and off temperatures. All the added bling bling has netted me 14 Best Engine awards at various car shows.
Transmission is a Tremec TKO with a SPEC stage 3 clutch and a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. The original T-5 started to really sing after that last dyno pull when we hit the NOS so I knew it was time to upgrade the transmission. Tremecs are a bit notchy to shift but once you get use to it you really don't notice it much.
