Pro 5.0 power target
Pro 5.0 power target Considering that in their base design, the Gen.III engines are superior to the 5.0 and 5.8 Fords. However, they(5.0,5.8) have overcome the obstacles and as everyone knows they are making a ton of power and running very good ET's. What specific hurdles are the blown Gen. III's going to have to overcome to get to the levels of pro 5.0. I'm only familiar with a couple of the issues that have created a learing curve. Could someone more in touch with the extremes of this educate me! Thank you!
i dont see power being a issue, all the gen 3 guys just have to put it in a suspension that hooks to have quick enough time, as in fourlink
im not sure of the issues the ford guys have, do they push some water when making over 1500hp?
just give it a little bit more time, there catching up in a hurry .

i am not sure, but what does the rest of thier setup consist of? sheet metal intakes? what kind of CFM on the heads?
i beleive Kurt at W2W has a twin turbo motor making quite a bit of power using a cast manifold and traditional cathedral port head.
