[QUOTE="wash, post: 1142138, member: 18190"] You can do just about anything to a stock 5.0, some things just aren't very good ideas. Look at Ecoboost, that's high compression with boost. Its also intercooling, direct injection, TiVCT, aluminum heads with detonation resistant combustion chamber shapes and heavy duty everything, not just pistons. Then look at every other supercharged ford. Even the Terminator 4.6 has compression less than 10:1 despite an aluminum pent roof 4 valve chamber (very detonation resistant), an air to water intercooler and heavy duty everything. Then look at a stock block 5.0 with forged 10:1 compression pistons, stock rods, stock crank, detonation prone cast iron heads, a supercharger, no intercooler but water/methanol injection. Which one doesn't belong? [/QUOTE]
