very helpfull.........still lookin for what each block can handle for boost before **** goes boom? also...big difference in the 5s head and the 3s head? i know the mani's bolt right up but the 52 doesnt flow so well? wondering about making a hybrid outa em.....does the 3s have forged internals??

The 5sfe is an economy motor with an economy head. With a good turbo and race gas, shannons car has been able to hit close to 300hp. Very impressive for that kind of setup.

The 3sgte on the other hand is the performance motor. It has a better head and a stronger motor. Read the power primer to learn more about it.
