What do most people use on their 6-8psi boosted 5.0s?

either way, if I cant end up using them, I could just turn around and sell em for a profit I suppose

alright

those are findable in the boneyard too. I found a thread on another forum where they were talking about anything you can yank in the JY thats helpful for their 5.0s, and some guy found a list of compatible injectors for the stock rails and all the different #s availble

apparently 3.3L Dodge intrepids have 30# injectors. I didnt find any, but I also didnt look. We stayed in the ford area almost the whole time

Hummmmm... that's good to know. It's like my Mazda, injectors from Mitsubishi & Toyota can be used with it, as long as they are high impedance (14-15 ohms)

@*#$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sleeping in today, as is customary on thanksgiving. I was woken up about 10 minutes ago by the doorbell. the doorbell rang a buzmillion times. then my dad called me outside

My neighbor hit my car backing out of the driveway because he went to fast, slammed on the brakes and hydroplaned into the II

@#$%!!!!

Fender is bent and buckled, the header panel/nosepiece is also going to need replacement. I hope i can even find parts for this












this is what it SHOULD look like...

i hope i can even find parts for it.. i found a header panel on ebay for $100, but it doesnt look that great

fenders are impossible to find. i found a few fiberglass ones, but they were for the wrong side, and i think i still want steel

my dad told me this morning they hit my "mudguard". wtf, my car doesnt have mudguards.

why the hell does crap happen to my cars IN MY GOD D***ED DRIVEWAY, theoretically this should be the safest place for them

At least he's paying for it, though i suspect the only reason they told us was because there is no denying the fact that they did it

I'm going to make him pay by buying the most pristine perfect expensive parts i can find for my baby

Thank God it wasn't the Bullitt. That's all I can say. OMG why do you have to share a driveway. Do you live in a duplex or a condo? OMG I'd be pissed.

That's right Arin. You get the II fixed to perfection. You should be mad and you should get satisfaction that your car is completely fixed, but it stops there. No need to sue for extra money thats just frivilous like you said.

Thats exactly what I told him. Lawsuits like that just tie up the legal system and waste everyone's time/money just because ONE person is greedy as sin.

If I ever sue someone, it will be for something legitimate, not something as small as this
