+1!!! I had a '86 LX with 210hp (1st year of FI) and I put a GT40 intake, larger throttle body, ingnition, pullys, heads and exhuast with X pipe....

....EVentually put a supercharger on it....Wheeee!!!! (until it was stolen and found in Lawrence MA! )

 

LOL I think everyone owned a 5.0 at some point in the late 80s - mid 90s!

I had a '91 LX 5.0. I think those were 260hp? The 2011 one should kick ass.


Here is where I'm on the fence though. The 5.0s of our youth spawned an entire aftermarket economy. You could bolt on any number of thousands of mods. I wonder how much more you can tweak from this motor without going to forced induction.

 

The wife will be buying one in late 2011 or early 2012. She wants to wait and see if there are any bugs with the new engine before purchasing.

 

looking forward to this.

I have a 95 SN95 that I will never part with. Long live the 5.0!
