Top End Kits

[familyguy02]

I want to run a twin turbo setup on my 5.0 and i was wondering which top end kit would be good for twin turbos. Looking on different websites i see that the Trick Flow Track Heat Top End Kits are good up to 360hp/350tq. Does that mean that it can only stand up to 360hp/350tq. I have also been looking for the Ford Racing Top End Kit Specs but i cant seem to find them. Thanks guys

Ok I'm going to walk gently over this question. First off what do you have now? What are you trying to accomplish? What is your budget like? Is this a daily driver or track only car? What kit are you thinking about? Twin turbo setups make over 1000 hp. Is your block either an A4 or R block? I could go on for days but you asked a question that seems to me that your not to familiar with all this.

well the car is stock now but i am going to rebuild the whole thing over time. I just want to figure everything out so i know what to plan for and what i need to get to start my project off first. I want to keep my car a daily driver kind of car but not use it every day...more of like a secondary car. As for the kit i am not sure yet, i want to find a good turbo kit because i dont want to buy one thats expensive and breaks on me right away and i dont want to buy a cheap piece or garbage either. As for the block i was looking into getting the Boss 302 block

Ok, this is a basic list of things your going to need and how to go about this:
the block- Boss, A4 or R block is going to cost you up to 2000$
machine work- are you going to keep the 302 or might you go 306, 331, 347? thats gonna cost about 1500$
Pistons, rods, crankshaft- your gonna need all forged internals so lets add another 1500$
heads- The heads plus port work, springs, valves and retainers are gonna be close to 3000$
camshaft- your gonna need a custom grind so figure about 250-300$
crankshaft-depending on what stroke and balance about 300-500$
flywheel-250$
Now the misc stuff-lifters, pushrods, oil pump, oil pump shaft, water pump

Turbos need a ton of fuel so figure on a new tank, lines, huge pump, injectors, fuel rails, and mass air meter.
engine management- the stock computer really isnt up to the task of a turbo, I know first hand. tuning will be about 750-1000$

should i keep going?

I now realize that putting the twin turbo system is going to be a lot of time and work because i will have to completely redo the motor, but as for the turbo system, do i want to have two of the same size turbos or do i want one smaller one and have one larger one?
