Anyone else hate how the for sale section is set up now? I liked the old way of picking out the LSX powered link and searching that way...Sorry i just had to get that off my chest.

As for the 5.0 i bet that thing will be pretty nasty when roush gets a hold of it...Just think of the old 4.6's and how well they liked boost? I bet this new one will take it even better.

Higher compression + boost isn't really efficient. Thats my .02 on the new 5.0 from Ford

I agree, the new classifieds suck!!! The owners of the site (IB) are trying to generate more money with it...There are less and less quality posts on here every day, most of the useful info is old stuff that you can find by searching, but that is it, most other info is sponsor driven.

There is still a ton of good info on here, but I hear ya. There just isn't too many sites that I visit regularly any more, especially LS related sites.

Sounds like a fun time, have to link up when I'm in town.

The car is great....but then again, it's just sitting in the garage under a cover lol. Going to be installing a HSW wet kit so that should keep me busy for a couple days.
