get an intercooler and crank up the boost.

don't forget blower cams and rear end gears. 4.10's will make that blower feel twice as strong through first and second.

Make maximum use of what you have. Cams and gears and an intercooler will allow you to get more benefit from the boost you already make and if you bump it up a little you'll be even more impressed.

If you haven't built the bottom end... now's the time to start saving for it. You'll probably need it soon.

ok..i recently ordered a snow performance methanol kit which is arriving tomarrow! do those work as good performance wise as a intercooler?? also should i stick with the vortech brand-intercooler if i decide to purchase one?

r3dn3ck · 07-09-2007, 03:58 PM

who told you that was a good idea?

cpthowdy · 07-09-2007, 04:06 PM

vortech. i told them that it was a lil too much for there aftercooler, soo they toldme that ill save a grand with a methanol kit

Those guys are dopes. Inter/after coolers stay on the car all the time. Methanol kits run out of juice. Don't forget, you really need to tune the car for the cooler air which means you will need multiple tunes to cover when you use it and when you do not.

Just a thought.

cpthowdy · 07-09-2007, 10:15 PM

where can i find a aftercooler for a reasonable price.?vortech has theres for 1700. a bit too much, i have a nx kit that i used in my evo, and i wanted to use it in the stang.would i have problems if i use it on a supercharger instead ona turbo

check out ebay and look for an ATI intercooler. They're strictly A-A (unlike vortech's a-w-a) and they're decent units. Finding the piping will be a h00t. Have fun.
