Yes, I do. The ones I read about or seen(that went kaboom) have been over 8psi. An LS2 and 5.0 are different animals though. Some Ford techs have said the internals in the 5.0 may not be suited for boost. But, like everything else, we'll see.
i didnt pick up that you were continuing the boost conversation. my bad, sir.

My 03Z weighs, with me in it and half a tank, 3300lb. Stock i'm trapping 115 with 348rwhp. So with 25rwhp more and 500lb more, he should be at least 113 in the quarter(maybe 112). For every 100lbs, it takes 10hp to compensate. And thats flywheel 10hp.
And don't think that the 3.31s are a slouch. His Trans gears are very aggressive. First gear is 3.28 and second is 2.90(if I remember correctly). That really helps building up speed even with the weight.

i think the rear looks great. Also, the rear quarter panel looks a million times better with that improved fender/body line. It makes the 05-09 look pedestrian

aggressive tranny gearing and small stock tires arent a very good match. even the optional "performance tires" are only 255's (245's stock). Im sure all that spinning between shifts kills an mph or 2. Also, look at the front end on a mustang and try to tell me with a straight face that that front end is as aerodynamic as a C5 corvette Z06 .youre right thats ludicris. That probably kills at least 1mph there as well.
They are shaped like bricks but they should still get 112-113 with 370rwhp. May be tough, but can be done. Just takes seat time.

also, im sure the aero has to kill at least a bit. My friends LS1 WS6 loses 1+MPH on the runs he does with the headlights on.

on the first thread about the 5.0 going 11.8 we gm guys never said it was slow just close too maxed out. Now we see it's not as fast as they say. Ford guys said its not maxed out, we don't know that. Now we see there's lots of room for improvment. After they break in they will only dyno close to 350hp stock if that. After all these years ford made a match for the 4th gen. It's ok ford guys don't give up just mod it up,
cough, cough. superchargers
Your friend kenny bell will come through.
