200 kw 5.0 ?

[E-T-H-A-N]

ive seen a few 5.0's now pull just a tad over 200 rwkw n/a. i think the vn ss group A pulled around that mark. does anyone have a parts list or something that will pull 200 kw out of a 5.0 ? (proven power figures) or would i be better of strapping a side mount to her ? opinions people!

[wildss]

11ish:1 comp, solid cam in the 240's and decent intake will make that easy.

other option is a 355 with a 286 or similar with stock intake. best thing about that is that you wont have to rev it like the 5.0 and the stock intake and tamer idle will keep the cops away...

[GEN3RATD]

as above, a fair decent bump stick would get you there.
but yeah if funds allow id be strapping on a blower, that way you will get more like 250kw and retain some driveability and fuel economy.

[E-T-H-A-N]

yeah a big thing is to retain drive ablility and fuel econamy, its a vp calais, t56 and 3,9s. its my daily haha. ive looked into a few kits and for about the 210rwkw mark im looking at about 6-7k wich isnt to bad. has anyone on here used the C.O.M.E intake manifold ? do they do much ?

[wildss]

apparently the come manifolds flow a metric ####load and will be way too big for your intended application.
if youre gunna go n/a get yourself a torque power dual plane hi rise and 1000cfm t/b, that will be better suited.

if youre going to go charged keep the banannas for low down torque and if you get pinged you can just remove the charger and get it cleared.
much easier to remove a s/c than a s/c and manifold...

[GEN3RATD]

s/c gets my vote, looking at 7k for a kit that will pull 250kw+.

[wildss]

yeah but nothing beats the sound of an angry 5.0 with a gilmer belt drive.

if it was me id spend some more and go a single turbo setup fpr even better manners on the street.

reason i say that is because a friend of a friend bought himself a charged vq and it was pretty tough but he ditched the s/c for a turbo and reckons its alot nicer to drive and still makes the same if not more peak power..

NOS , get a NOS kit installed. less than 1k. That has to be the easiest and least expensive way to make 200KW.

this is true, its not very convenient on the streets though.

[E-T-H-A-N]

yeah im not even going to consider nos lol.


wildss i see what you are saying about the grunty 5.0, it is tempting. but its alot harder to remove a defect off something like that as aposed to a side mount, wich i think is what's winning at the moment, for around 7k im looking at a tad over 210 rwkw. wich would be ideal for street duties.

[Reaper]

The group A's were no where near 200RWKW stock. Bump the compression, cam, intake and 200 RWKW is not out of the question quite reliably though.

the capa 10psi kit is 7k and is rated to 310kw, with around 250rwkw.

[E-T-H-A-N]

yeah but after reading a few people that have actually got them on, they dont quite pull that. its probly all to do with engine mods and the age of the engine and every other little thing that makes a diffrence.

reaper, i want to keep engine build prices down, if anyone does any work to this engine it will be rhemac, and if anyone on here knows of them, they will know it wont be a cheap build, but it will be world class quality.

[mr calais 5.0]

For the 7k i would rebuild the motor and strap a turbo or 2 on it.. Just depends if you are going to build it your self or just drop it off at a motor builder?

reliable snails won't be cheap either. The old saying about hp is correct - Cheap, Reliable, Power - Pick 2.

Spot on.

[E-T-H-A-N]

i am probly capable of doing it myself, but i would just send it off to rhemac to get done. and if they did it it would probly not need boost to make any power i wanted, but the price tag will be huge if i go that way.

yeah you have a good point reaper.

so maybe just a big bump stick and rockers and such ? maybe a bit of head porting and im on my way ?

[scooters]

I had mine done at rhemac and she pulls over 200.
Its not easy on the street thou. Lucky she stays in the shed.

thats where the argument comes in, with F/I you will still have good street manners

[E-T-H-A-N]

what was it that you had done there mate ? chances are i looked over it haha. yeah mines injected, i know it will be a bit grumpy but shouldnt be to bad because it will be manual, t56 and has 3,9s in it anyway. i want the engine done before she goes in.

Yea i know what you mean, but i like the sound of the cam and there is no way in hell im strapping anything to the side of my group A

[E-T-H-A-N]

was that the durifred vn ss group a in there ? yes i know there all red. was in there about a month or 2 ago.

[scooters]

No mate, mine has been sitting in the shed for the last 6 months....
Well i think its still there.
Did you see one at rhemac did you ?

[E-T-H-A-N]

ohh alright, yeah im pretty sure its still there. plus another guy has a vn same colour with a 6L in it, and theres a walky vl in there aswell 383 im pretty sure.

[scooters]

Im happy with my end product, with the machine work they done.
Its still going anyway, so i suppose thats good
