As far as the intake goes, your not going to find anythign much better than an FR500. However, most people who are running an SC are goign over to a Bullit intake, those flow quite a bit better. If thats a 2 valve motor, there's plenty out there for cams and I can point you in the direction of a couple of really good boards that targeted towards that motor.

Congrats, enjoy the ride:thumbsup

Can you give me some money?

Yah the sc runs pretty hot. Thinking of a methanol injecter or maybe a hood scoop. What do you think? So far the temp is running right along factory specs, no increase at all. The aintercooler does a great job on the air, but yah I am concerned about the sc during the summer.

It's a 3v, I have talked to a lot of experts and from what I gather everyone who has tried to drop a cam in could not even get the car to run. Comp cams has one they say will work but again, people have told me they could not get it to work properly. Pretty sure I'm at the max on hp for this block so I think I will not make any more changes. However I have a 97 and a 98 we are going to build and sc. the 97 is already built good with 325 rwhp. SC dropped on it we should get 500 RWHP I think. It's very tight

I have heard of people having good luck with methanol injection. One group of guys you might want to talk to is Snow Performance. they have been doing some cool stuff with water injection for a roots style blower.

Just out of curiosity, did you move your intake air temp sensor to a position where it is after the aftercooler? If you did, you might just be able to pull a signal from that. Engine temp is really that important, but Charge Air Temp is. If you have your IAT sensor after the SC then your tuner can set it up so it starts pulling a lot of timing and dumping fuel if you start blowing really hot air. It would be similar to how the 03-04 Cobra works with a combination of O2's, rear O2's, and the CAT sensors. it would pull timing and dump you way rich when those 3 got out of spec. Rob's a bunch of power, but it save your engine.

Yea, I havn't really seen anyone coming out with anything that works very well for the 3V in cams yet. That will also go for your intake too then. When you get to it, I would like to see some dyno charts and here what you have done for mods on the other two. I just picked up an 03 Crown Vic trooper that has the PI (performace improved, not police interceptor) motor, and I've been playing with it a bit. matter of fact I'm back on the rollers tomorow to see if I have my fuel issue fixed.

post #56 should read Engine temp isn't really that important

mmm, it looks so luxury

I hope you put some bigger brakes on your car otherwise you might be in for a nasty surprise...

nice toy

That's one kickass ride.Congrats on the purchase man!And drive safely.:)

Thats pretty crazy... Thats not Titan motor sports is it? I heard they were decent... I am afraid how much it would cost to make my ride Nos ready (bullet proof) Tranny/Engine/Drivetrain ect

Wow :eek7 That is gorgeous!!!

Depends on how big of a shot you want to run. For teh most part you don't have to worry too much about the rear end untill you get past 400rwhp. That will vary slightly with how much your starting with, both power wise and equipment. The tranny can usually be taken care of with a tune and a shift kit. The engine is where it gets interesting. Your best bet is to find a form or club for your vehicle. There is a ton on information there becuase for the most part, if you can think of it, somone has already done it and broke it.

why did you go with a centrifugal blower instead of a roots type?

basicly what you have is a belt driven turbo and it has to spin up to make good boost. With a roots type you have all the power right off the start.

Roush make a roots type supercharger that bolts right on your engine. Ford uses it on the GT500 and also sells it for the F150

The biggest problem with roots type SC's is that they turn into heat pumps due to thier design. Now an autorotor or a twin screw is really the shit. You get almost all the power on the bottom end, without the heat penelty at the high end. Plus you can get away with running more boost with a centi than a roots type before you blow shit up, just due to the nature of where the power is in the curve.

Choker, got a couple of good coments for you regarding that 3V. The first is from the shop I do business with, and they really know their shit. The 2nd is from a local guy who has some experiance blowing shit up.

Congrats on a sweet ride.

Just picked up a new car last week myself, Feels GOOOOD:pimp

It is a bit more of a family car then this baby but still has around 400HP from a Turbo, Intercooled 6 cylinder so it's not all bad.

You guys get all the fun cars.

:( ...

Great info man, my mechanic was saying the same thing about detonation. What I am scared of with the methanol injector is that many tell me it will dry out and crack gaskets over time. Any thoughts on this?

what's the price tag on a toy like that?

I spent quite a bit of time comparing different blowers, asking experts. Vortech went all out on their 06 package for the stang. it says it will add 160hp with the smaller pully. We are at/very close to 460 now with the bigger one and flowmaster headers, so I would say their calculation of 160hp gain is dead accurate. I don't think I can get the power out of a roots type like I can the Vortech. With big pulley we got 383 rwhp and 428lbs tq. Plus cost was a factor, by far the Vortech was the cheapest. $5000 included EVERYTHING, even the computer, fuel pump,injecters, Literally everything. The drive train on the stang is pretty good, only a 15% loss in HP. We left all the factory goodys in including the traction control so it still rides smooth as hell. I was gonna lower it , etc, but I don't think I will. I like the luxery ride too much.

Pretty cheap actually, I think I gave like 31k for the car, 8k for the blower,labor. So I have like 39k in it.

dope whip

that's WICKED cheap for a 500+ hp car.

congrats!

Very Nice Conrats and Good luck with the new toy! Im sure you earned it!

very nice car :thumbsup

Should have just put a blower on it.

you got icq

pretty hot looking car.. nicee.. congrats with the new toy!

very fast fora soap box bro !! good job

Sweet looking ride..don't kill yourself in it

That's one smokin' hot ride

congrats very nice be careful :)

That was awesome.. I'm wanting it:)

Sweet looking ride man

Hahaha I had a feeling that pic was coming

wow hot car..!

nice one!

be carefull though this is my vortech supercharger picture from today:

http://files.smutput.com/20061128/ak...re003small.jpg

by some fluke they don't think any of the shit got in the engine so the car should be back on the road soon, not having much luck with it though

Wouldn't be too hard to get a fitter and turner to make you a nice intake. Scoup air directly from infront of the radiator :thumbsup

Have about 300rwhp in my daily driver(about the same for my toy but it weighs half as much) and found that fitting an over the radiator intake made the world of difference for intake roar, exhaust note and most importantly power :)

Possible for you to take a vid giving the engine a few revs?

what happened there? intake pipe came off and touched the turbine??

3.90 gears? I thought it was either 3.73 or 4.10's?

id unno the tuner sent me these it looks like you are right though:

:Oh crap

Hope that doesn't cost you too much to fix! Are they able to replace the turbine or is it a new s/c?

Also is that on an s2000??

congrats, nice car :) I'm jealous ;)

OMG :1orglaugh :1orglaugh !!

vroom vroom :thumbsup
