I know you can get to 600 with that budget with a Roush. Twins tend to be a little more expensive I think. Talk to Clint or Tim at TrueStreet. They will hook you up

Roush, Paxton/Vortech, Procharger maybe a few others, can all get you to 600whp for under 7k pretty easily.

hmm ok maybe i should retype what i mean
what im asking for is full upgrade to intake manifold possible exhaust changes oil cooling not just buying a procharger and a tune im talking full upgrade to my top end if possible bc by my searching just for a cobra jet intake if i went that route is more than half my budget

I see what you're saying now. You can take out the stock motor with just fuel upgrades basic exhaust upgrades and any blower pretty easily. Just depends how big you plan on going.

and yes budgets suck lol

What is your existing setup??? What are you trying to accomplish?

Mine is a Daily Driver and I'm giving some serious consideration on going with a TVS setup (ROUSH). I like the fact that you don't really have to spin the car up to get at the power. I haven't tracked my car yet and that is not my priority, I'm looking for something that is a red light beast and I think by the time the centri's are catching up the race will be over, I'm shutting her down and then its just a ricer fly by.

I wish there were more turbo's out there on the 5.0's along with solid track records regarding longevity, maintenance, tuning, state inspections etc...
