Anyone think it'd be worth putting a procharger on a 1999 mustang w/ 83k?

 

hell yes it is...boost is the ****.

have a leak down test done if you are doubting your engine.

i put a blower on my car at 68k miles and i have 91k on her now. still kicking like the day she did when it was on the dyno.

 

Haha, how much the boost cost ya?

 

i bought my kit back in september 2005 and i paid about 5400 for a modular powerhouse mongoose vortech kit with paxton cooler, 3.1 pulley, KB BAP, 4 inch powerpipe, vortech mini-race bypass.

i paid a huge premium for a no head-ache install and tune. this car made over 400 hp on a mail order tune and its a auto.

 

5400 include install?

 

i wish

 

yes it is, if youve taken good care of the motor it should be fine.

just add around 1k for install just because stuff happens. it should cost less but i always say over estimate.

 

ditto that.

 

Dude at my work just supercharged his 99 GT with 130k on it. :-P.

Hey, just wondering how your auto is holding up? Did you beef up the trans or rear end at all?

 

I know his auto didnt hold up for him. I have talked to him and he has a street/strip performance auto. I have an auto as well and I have 370rwhp with the stock converter and mine is going out on me. I haven't made up my mind yet if I want a tko 500 or a built auto.

 

Thanks for the info. pretty much what I thought.
