Cheap powerful Reliabil. You can have 2 but not all three the more you spend on getting your power the more Reliabil it will be the more you cheap out the more you suffer reliability. 3k is an amazing price for 500 hp. You really can't get much more than stock "reliabilly" with 3k.

Nearly 600hp including engine for well under $3000

 

Yes I agree 100%with that...I don't need anything ridiculous though...what about doing cai with good exhaust a tune and maybe higher end plus and wires?

 

I'd like to see how she cranks after a 100k

 

If your motor run good I would do lt headers with an x or h pipe with Maggie's the gotts mod with a good drop in filter maybe some mild cams and a tune from mpt on an sct and if your still not satisfied 4:10s or 4:56s an and you will be over stock by a good bit. Reliabil and your still somewhat cheap.

 

Yea a regear would help I'm sure too lol I would prefer to keep my intake out of the fender simply cause I like off roading and tend to go too deep lol I just have a after market cone filter with out the air box and it works good lol for exhaust I have cat delete with the stock piping back to a single thrush turbo...if it weren't for the leak it would be good haha

 

Well tbh I think the aftermarket boxes will suck water before the fender will.

 

I have no box lol just open but I still have the hole open so I get some airflow that's cold still haha

 

Run a low boost and conservative tune: make more hp, better mpg, and cheaper than supercharging. Mustang guys boost their stock 4.6's all the time

 

But they aren't reliable. I wouldn't trust a stock boosted motor for nothing I just prefer to do it right that away I can have fun without worrying about what's gonna go first. It's cheaper in the long run rather than slowly replacing whatever goes down.
