And if any of you more experienced than I in the field wish to suggest a TC for my current NA application, (see mods below) I would greatly appreciate it!

That thread is 5 pages long and there is a lot of confusing information in the first post. It looks like the OP was talking about a 5.0 in a mustang with some kind of SC (making peak torque low, so it may be a roots.)
So the type of SC is not identified and the motor appears to be a 5.0 in a vehicle that is 500-700 lbs lighter then ours. :)
Other then that it is good info, and there may be better info if you read all 5 pages.

Oh, and I would recommend a 3500 stall max for your car. If you stay NA, a PI is fine. If you plan on a SC, talk to Darrin.
