two cylinder upgrade
 
so i crashed my little sixer a little over a month ago and decided to go with a newer mustang, and found myself a nice 2002 sonic blue GT. it came basically stock with only a BBK CAI, flowmaster cat-backs, UDP, and a chip of unknown origin.

i already have an appointment to get the chip checked out and possibly replaced with a tuner, and also get 3.73s installed. then after that i'll probably get a pro-5.0 shifter cause the stock shifter is just killing me. feels like its in the middle of my chest.

then i'll probably get a suspension kit. actually, i already have the suspension kit, since i bought it for the 94 V6 i had, but it fits the GT too. its H&R springs, blistien shocks, and bushings. i think with that and some sub-frame connectors, i'll have a pretty decent ride.


i think that this will be leading up to a vortech s/c, specifically the one on americanmuscle.com, because they advertise that it can be put on a basically stock motor. i'm not sure if i really want to get involved with heads, cam, and intake, because i think that if i'm opening up the block, i think i would do forged internals too.

your thoughts??

awesome. i'd go with a vortech system with an aftercooler though.

Any supercharger company out there has kits for stock motors. I would want an intercool or air-to-water cooler on mine if it was supercharged.

yeah, but i really like americanmuscle.com and will always buy from them first. if they have a product, i know i can trust it.

you'd think... some things are still more hype than good. Even the best retailer is guilty of that. I'm not saying anything anyone specifically carries is junk, just that some of it has questionable value.

my personal vote goes to a 5.4 swap with nitrous but i'm probably a little biased :smokin:

I personally would rather go procharger and make more power then vortec kits they sell.

thinking about doing a ram air shaker too... what do you guys think??

I think youll be very happy with the ProCharger setup. Shaker looks really good but it fulls up under the hood plus the ProCharger. Good Luck

Not gonna do shit and with the procharger its really gonna do nothing. Save that cash for a blower instead.
