Lol..
So much bad information in this thread..
Jager was right on about everything though xD
Ok, point A..the thing that sticks out the most to me. Who rebuilds a 5.0 to 250HP!? What a waste of a build, man!
Point B..do not install an FCD without some way to control fuel. SAFC2 will work fine, although is obviously not the best route, as it has its limits.
In my experience..RTEK is generally a waste. An FCD and SAFC2 will do almost as much..and a Megasquirt is less money, with standalone power. If you don't have the skill to put it together yourself, you can buy a pre-assembled, plug-n-play Megasquirt for just $100 more then an RTEK from Tofuball on the forum..

And the 5.0 guy im racing isnt really my friend. I just met him cuzz the compaines we work for are right next to each other. And thats what he told me, but i did hear that he ran more but i dont kno how much. He does have intake, exhaust, header, cobra intake manifold and its barely broken in on the rebuild.

I've raced an '04 cobra at the track a couple of times......at the 1/8 i'm right there....but that thing pulls hard up top. He beat me by 0.3 - 0.4 evertime...he had a catback and et streets....they're pretty sweet rides...nothing like the '96.

you can make your own sidepipe exhaust that will outflow anything prebuilt for cheap to free depending on who you know and what you have access to
800$ for an exhaust is absolutely retarded imo.. but i dont give a **** about bling
