I have 591 whp for less than 6k installed and could have more easily with a change of a pulley. It's very easy to get power on 5.0. If you spend 10k you better have 800whp. Name brand means a lot to people for some reason.
I went with the Maggy set up from Livernois. Car drives amazing like stock when cruising but when you want boot bam, rocket with no issues. And was under $5500 installed for 591 whp with a conservative tune. The system rerouted the IAT to post intercooler and I never see IAT over 10 above...
Everyone knows the new GT500 is either going to be a 5.0 with the blower tvs or more than likely a whipple on it or a 5.2 with the blower on it without the flat plane crank
Numbers don't lie. Auto sell and are better. It's the old school I need to drive a stick and feel my car people that keep it alive. The faster stangs are auto since you can't beat a computer. Only a matter of time till there gone.
