    more supercharger (twin screw) questions

    That's correct, my bad. I mis-read where it says "Optional Dual Calibration "POWER" & "SHOOTOUT" $99.00" in the price list. Not saying which is better, the KB or the whipple, the top two twin screw kits available. The 2.8L mammoth will give you higher ultimate power limits, but you're...

    more supercharger (twin screw) questions

    I have to disagree with this. The whipple kit is the most expensive, but it's also the most complete. The whipple kit comes with the largest heat exchangers of all the kits you listed, fuel injectors and spark plugs (neither the KB kit nor the roush kit come with spark plugs), the largest MAF...

    Blower guys...Any gains from Shorty's over stock manifolds?

    The stock manifolds flow very well for cast iron logs, the port matching and runner merging are better than anything we've previously seen on a mustang. You normally only see turbo guys changing the manifolds, and those are normally for custom headers to fit a custom turbo system, more for the...

    Home made intake

    A lot of the restriction of the stock setup is in the stock inlet tube, small and bendy. A larger filter with a good heat shield would probably net a few HP, but not near as much as an aftermarket CAI and tune. Dan

    2006 Saleen blown GT & blue smoke

    Blue smoke is burning oil, nothing to really worry about unless she does it all the time. A lot of people get smoke on startup, I get it if the last time I shut the engine down it was cold (like if I just start the car to move it out of the way). The hesitation to start up may be a fuel issue...

    Could NOT be happier w/ Edelbrock E-Force's Blower

    I don't have any first hand experience with LT's and FI, but I gained in the ball park of 10 rwhp from my LT's on my NA car (guesstimate as I did all the mods at once, but given my power compared to other with similar mods minus LTs). I'd have to imagine that on a car with 150 more hp than mine...

    Could NOT be happier w/ Edelbrock E-Force's Blower

    Congrats on the blower, I have heard some really great things about the E-force, mainly that it is, as you said, a very complete kit. Like Preston said, LT's on a SC engine are worth a lot more than on NA cars. From what I have seen on cars making around your power (on this and other forums)...

    Paxton tuned today 475rwhp but...

    The SOP dyno is very inconsistent. For instance, one of the fastest feeling cars I've ever driven was my 96 bone stock GT, but that car was 1.5-2 seconds slower than my new GT. The but dyno can be fooled, in the case of my old 96, it was just the sloppy suspension. With your old paxton tune it...

    HELP stang is DEAD !!!

    Sounds like a PATs issue to me, that's what the red locked car symbol means. Dunno exactly where to go from here. First, I'd try any spare keys you have. Then I guess I would call a dealer. Dan

    what do heads and cam give us?

    The stock GT block is a pretty stout piece, the rods are the real weak point. But as far as built GT blocks, I have seen plenty of people pushing over 600 rwhp. Dan

    Double check the wiring from the sending unit to the gage, could just be something got knocked loose causing the erratic gage. Dan

    what do heads and cam give us?

    The right heads and cams are worth ~80 rwhp for us, there are a few companies that have seen over 400 RWHP on an all out NA car with the stock short block. If you really go all out with one of these (add some cubes, up the compression, so on) you could probably squeeze 450 maybe a bit more...

    saleen supercharger question

    I'd call them (JDM), but that is most likely either belt slip or a bad bypass valve actuator. Dan EDIT: But to make sure, you should buy a new unit and send me that one for "diagnostics"... :D

    Stillen sway bar combo

    Correct, the more expensive set has an adjustable rear bar. The way the adjustment works is you just move the point where the endlinks attach to the bar (up or down the end of the sway bar, thus the multiple bolt holes). Moving the end links closer to the swaybar (further up the bar towards the...

    '10 Track Pack for 05-09?

    I don't believe there is anything different between the two cars, only cosmetic changes. I'm not sure how you would go about getting the components though, unless FRPP sells them. Dan
