After much soul searching and a lot of great input form 2.3L turbo stangers, I've decided to turbo the 5.0L and remain with a carb. Two main reasons, cost and simplicity. I have a local T-Bird TC guy who is rounding up the components.

I'd like to start with at Proturb blow-through carb, but for $900US, it's a bit out of my league.

Anyway, I'm sure some of you stangers have experience with a carbed small block application?

Check out HerNastyNotch. She's running a 5.0 carb/turbo set-up. She would be the lady to speak at.

Thanks, I had a look at her Nasty Notch - very suite blow-through set up. :devil: I'm hoping my intake is the same height (or less) than my air cleaner, as I don't want to cut the hood or buy a new one. :wow:
