what is needed with Forced ind..:low compression heads ,fuelpump ect... if one were to get a turbo kit that was intercooled what things would be needed for sure with out blowing the moter and could i run a turbo with my cam?
Where to begin
>Fuel System
-Fuel pump
-Fuel lines
-Fuel fitting
-Fuel filter
-Fuel pressure regulator
-Something done to the tank (if you dont do it yourself its an expense)
>Engine
(Things with a '*' are not needed but I reccomend them)
-New pistons
-New rods
-Balanced
-Good heads
-Intake depending on what you have
-Head Studs *
-Main Studs *
-Ported oil pump
>Suspensin
-basically all of it could be reworked to handle the power this is all optional
>Transmission
-Either a Torque converter or clutch
-if its an auto, start saving for a new tranny build
this is just off the top of my heads, im sure theres more

John,
True story here, I walked into a local machine shop I use, and I swear the head guy there is saying "wow, wow, put the wrench down, and slowly step away from the car, bring it back up here, and let the professionals do it".
It was even funnier when he said it was one of those little rice shops who had a head ported,and didnt degree the cams, and wondered why the valves were messed up.
Sorry to get off topic, just came to mind

Seriously though, 500 isn't overly difficult. But like most, the turbo bug bites and the **** slowly goes up till something goes boom. Then things get expensive. And when things break under boost they break real good
If it's your only car, reconsider your options.

Ditto to all the above. FI is not cheap whether it is turbo or supercharger. If you are on a limited budget, don't even get started. If you can't follow through and do it right, don't do it at all, you will just be miserable and your car will be in a perpetual state of broken. If you want to make some mods that will support FI in the future when cash will be more plentiful, forge the bottom end, build up the suspension, then start socking away every spare $, look for bargains everywhere, save it all up then do it all at once. In the meantime, monitor the different boards FI forums and learn as much as you can, so you can make educated decisions as to what direction you want to go. A good rule of thumb, and I stated it in another thread earlier, is to do your homework, make a plan, count the cost, then double it and you should be in the ballpark. Good luck.

Upgraded valvesprings (918's, PRC doubles or LS6 springs would be fine with stock cam)
Good fuel system (intank)
Good injectors (42-50 pounds)
160 stat
Boost and fuel pressure gauges
GREAT tuning on a Mustang Dyno or the street with in car wideband
8-10#'s intercooled on pump gas
Low timing
Fat AF ratio
Sane rev limit
TR6 plugs at .028-.032 gap
Should live a long time like that
