Ok so right now my car makes 255HP and 288Trq. I want to boost the car over the summer and what i want to know is what kit i should get or what i need to do to the car to have 400HP and over 400trq? That 400 number is my goal really. I'm changing my whole exhaust next month to BBK LT's, MAc offroad prochamber and a brand new magnaflow catback system. I have pretty much all the basic stuff and then some on my car already as many of you know. I also have the /msd coilpack kit on there which is supposed to add like 10-15hp on a boosted stang. So what kit within reason will put me @ 400? I would like to have a kit with some sort of intercooler since i live in steamy TX and drive the hell outta my bullitt. So if you guys recommend something like a mongoose kit then also tell me where i can get an air to air to match up with it. I dnt wanna spend a bucket of money so no kenne bell or turbos and i still have stock internal and don't want to break them any time too soon. If a blower cam is essential to make these numbers which one and is that reasonable for a daily driven stang? Please help me reach my goal! I dnt want 380 or 375 I really want that 400 or over number lol. Thanks much guys! BTW my mod list is:
MGW short throw
Spec stage 2 clutch
Spec Billet steel flywheel
31 spline axles
Eaton Posi TRac Diff.
4.10 gears
Custom Dyno tune
MM lower control arms
MM CC plates
Steeda Springs
Airbag Kit
MM Full Length subframes
MRT CAI
Steeda UDP's
MSD Coil Packs Kit
Tockiko Shocks and Struts(Adjustables)
Powerslot Rotors w/ Hawk Brake Pads
MAc offroad Prochamber
Magnaflow Mufflers
X2 Balljoint kit
Bumpsteer kit
MT Drag Radials(275/and 28" i think?) on Prostars

 

O BTW my latest times @ the track for all of tired of hearing me bitch abotu shitty track times was a 13.4 with a 1.7second 60 ft time! I'm absolutely in love with MT Drag radials total hook and not one once of spin leaving the line @ 5500 RPMS!!!!! Actually lifted my tires of the ground about an inch or two as well! I'm hoping that with the s/c i will get really low 12's or high 11's and have a daily driver!

 

since you dont want to shell out the funds for a KB. there is no way you would want to spend the money on a vortech/paxton centri along with a cooler. you could peice together a DIY cooler but that would still run 5-800 bucks. it will take a lot of your time as well. the paxton cooler is 1400 new not including shipping and you still have to pay out for a big bypass like a min-race vortech bypass at 250 bucks.

looks like a vortech/paxton is out if you want to run a cooler with it. you should look through jeredans cheap supercharger thread. i say do that and save a lot of money.

you could get a procharger at 8 psi with the 3 core cooler and have 400 hp. for a lot less money than a vortech. if you go procharger get the D1SC kit you will thank yourself later for it.

is say go for a KB 9 psi 2.1l kit and spend the 5500 and be done with it. you can make some money off of your intake if you decided to sell it. that will bring the cost of the blower back down to centri range.

 

yeah man, there is no cheap way of supercharging cars, especially intercooled ones. You're looking at a 4-5k bill once every part is had and tuning is complete.

 

hey blue thunder, you sound about like me, my goal is 400hp on my stang, right now i'm @ 335hp & 348rwt, and all that was gained only from bbk l.t. headers, high flo cats. origianlly i had 295hp & 298 rwt. although my gt came with the "functional shaker". and today i got the price figures to have an eaton s/c @ 5psi installed by a buddy of mine today at his shop. I to dont want to drop my rear end or thro a rod etc: so i dont want to over do it, the s/c that i'm gonna order is made specifically for the mustang GT.

 

save up the money and do it right. imo or maybe find a used kit.

and power wise 400rwhp, you just gotta trust your tuner to put a good tune on. i know GT's that have broken with less. but it almost always involves a bad tune. cause i beleive yalls motors can handle about that much with a good tune.

and if your spec stage 2 is like mine it wont last. mine slips anything floored over 5k RPM's. I am ordering a RAM and a billet steel flysheel.

 

Guys this thread is from last year. I am pretty sure he sold this car and got out of cars for awhile from what I remember.

Grady, the 3v motors have been known to be pretty safe at level below 450rwhp so thats about the max you would want to run. Also I don't know what kit your looking at but a eaton is a poor choice and at 5psi is a waste of money. You should look at a kit that makes power like the Procharger kit,Vortecs etc.... You can even spray the car and keep that shaker setup you like as well.

 

loL @ old threads.

 

i never look at date. i guess i should start.

 

does it matter what the date is,, we are asking a question that me, or anybody else would ask, all we want is an answer. I dont get it when someone says "look at the date, old thread"
who cares,,, And if it's an old thread, then should we not look at it, because it's old, then if it is, it should be Deleted, otherwise, some of us will respond to it, like me & others.

 

dude the thread is a year old...blue thunder hardly ever posts and when he did it was always some kind of post similar to this one here.

i dont know why you are getting a heaton...if i were you i would go with some sort of twin screw like a whipple, kenne bell or even the saleen blower and pump out the usual 8 psi and get a nice safe 450-470 hp tune that all of the other S197 owners are running.
