American Muscle? I can't think of anything else right off hand. I usually just do my re-search and look for the best price, I find my self using E-Bay more then anything. If I want something lower, I will message and see if they will come down on the price. |
If I may, I'm gonna slightly adjust that, and I think it'll be more power for less money.

I think that's more. :O

but he said more power for less meaning more hp per dollar

If you goal is at least 350hp I would find a used supercharger p1sc or v2. On a stock motor you should see about 360. The mods your talking about will not get you much more than 300-310 at the wheels. You can find used p1sc's all day for around 2k....buy the supporting mods (injectors, pump, tune etc) and you right about $3500 which is going to be less than a slower full bolt on 2v.
Don't get me wrong a cammed gt would be bad ass...but the 350 number you mentioned is going to cost you way more than 3-4k staying n/a. BTW: summitracing price matches and they have a speed card (summit credit card) that you can use and get no interest for a year. |

I can get you 350rwhp for < 1000 bucks.
125 shot of nitrous and a tune. Done. No major engine parts, no huge expense and you can turn it off and have your normal 4.6. If you want 350rwhp NA then your best bet is a stroker or a 5.4 swap, plus ALL the parts spec'd by bassman and most of them spec'd by wildride02gt. You'll also need a tune, and a few other things like fuel injectors and fuel pump. How about you not shoot for a HP rating and tell us what you'd like the car to do that it's not doing now and we can help you get there. If you have 5 grand laying around, then pop on a blower and call it a day. I like Vortech myself but ATI Procharger comes with an Air:Air intercooler which is a big plus. Paxton Novi2000 is also a great blower. My only universal advice: Don't cheap out, buy the good parts. Buy them new. Have them professionally installed and tuned. You'll thank me later. |
.......wow....well im getting ready for a deployment to <OPSEC> in <OPSEC> i plan to buy all the big expensive parts then. for now im just gettin the cheap pretty stuff like interior decoration and such...i have always loved the 2000 cobra r because of the power and performance it put out with out turbos and superchargers...to me that showed that the ford company could make a no-bullshit performance car...i'd like to stay N/A but wouldn't mind supercharging (not much of a turbo fan)...and i do not plan on getting bullshit parts i just want ashley (my car's name) to perform in a way that will make little import cars spill their gear oil when she drives by.......i fuckin love my car
|
c'mon dude...OPSEC.
Go 5.4 liter if you want to make N/A power. |
I'll give him credit, he did'nt say that he wanted to go fast and not spend no money.

I forgot all about the Cobra R's, now I might want one of those. haha What years did they make the Cobra R's? 1993, 1995 & 2000? |
Terminator....yea great car but not a Cobra R...if it didn't help it perform better it wasn't installed..like no A/C, no rear seat, no bullshit parts...i fell in love with that car and still am that's why im wanting to hit at least 350 hp...then with some tuning and a little extra parts i could join the ranks of the 385hp, 385lbs of torq, pulling 1.01Gs striking fear in any camaro or mopar buggy....i got to go to the bathroom excuse me....

I wouldn't mind having a Cobra R too, but seems it would be WAY harder to find parts for. |
I have personally driven a 440rwhp/400rwtq 00' Cobra R. The IRS is a very weak link. We had endless trouble trying to hold it together. Other than that...yeah a R is a wild ride.
|
building a GT to perform power and handling like an R is really not that hard. matching a '00 R has been my goal since I first bought my '02 GT.
