#37

#38
it too late for me to really tell you my opinion but if u were gonna beef up the internals of ur engine...you should have gone w/ a 2.4 (or whatever the new 2.2 is) and pullied it down to 8psi and run the same numbers as a 9 or 10 psi pully on the 2.1
what cams do you have, blower or NA?
#39
2.1L, 2.6L, and 2.8L.
#40
just comp 262 the small ones

Who is mustang muscle? If its too much power you can just detune it no problem, or change the pulley. But youll probably be right around 400rwhp. http://www.kennebell.net/supercharge...2v/gt96-04.htm

If you have cams and LT's on a stock motor and you want to add a blower, that would make some tuners I know nervous. Just my $0.02. I think that may be the issue.
The problem is, with cams and LT's your car is more efficient and make more power at 9 psi then say a car w/o those items. That would normally be good news, unless you are pushing to omuch power.
BUT, one thing that I argue and most people can't seem to follow is that your car is limited to hp to the block and NOT to the tires.
In other words, my car makes 375 rwhp and I don't have cams or LT's. If I were to add both, I might make more like 420 rwhp, but the power applied to my block should not be much higher....I would just be more efficient.
As you approach the 400 hp range, your risk will increase. Perhaps at 380 rwhp you can afford a bad shift, but at 425 is might be bang. I think some tuners get conservative based on their own experience.
When my car was tuned, I told the tuner that I wanted the moto to be good for 80k miles w/o issues, so he went safe. He could have added another 20 hp just with timing and a/f no problem.
Bottom line, there is no straight answer. If you don't care about the block and have plans for a built motor, then maybe you don't care if the stocker blows so you crank it up.

A purely innoculous jesture done with no ill intent.
