Why?

Does he have a real motor? :-*

Any brand recommendations?
I got the JLT.
It came with factory type connectors so it was pretty easy to install.
So far emptied it once and it had an ounce or 2 in it over the course of a few thousand miles. An ounce or two that could have been caked up on the valves so money well spent I feel.

The Ford forums say both yes and no.

The want to turbo the 5.0 is real, the bank account says otherwise....
