    Engine Hessitation then full power

    If it happened after all those intake mods I’d be suspect that you still have a leak somewhere. Double check all your work and reverse a couple steps if needed to check the connections / gaskets / tightening.

    It was added to the 3v’s to save a little gas mileage. There are cam phaser kits for more aggressive cams that don’t allow the timing to be turned down as much as OEM allows. The 3v motors are now 10+ years old and 2v motors are 16+ years old. Both sets of cars are going to need maintenance...

    Both the 2v and 3v are good options if you find a well maintained one. I wouldn’t out the gate try to compare them to the new coyote powered mustangs - the new mustangs have over 100hp and upgrades in nearly every department. Heads aren’t going to be enough to keep up, you need a blower. if...

    Which are better brakes to upgrade to on an ‘03 GT with some bolt on mods!

    Best bang for buck is to upgrade to cobra brakes. Easy first step is front cobra calipers, 13” rotors, and stainless steel brake lines. Fronts are very easy. After you do the fronts rear brakes are worthwhile too. LMR has both front and rear brake upgrade components...

    Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger for Daily Driver

    Find a transmission rebuild place that works on your type of transmission. They’ll get you on the right track. Definitely possible. If e85 is readily available you can get some more timing / hp. You’ll need injectors that flow 30-40% more and fuel pumps / fittings that are e85 compatible...

    Progress Thread alwayshi 00 GT supercharged build

    Glad it feels good. :nice: As an example kenne bell dynos their kits with 23 degrees of timing and their air fuel ratio at 11:1. Each increased degree of timing is ~4hp, each increase of 1 on the air fuel ratio is ~8hp (Not advertising to do this, just showing that hp numbers vary greatly...

    Progress Thread alwayshi 00 GT supercharged build

    Don’t spend too much time comparing dyno graphs against others. Your tune is probably on Hawaii premium (92 octane), all dynos are slightly different (+/- couple %), and different people have different levels of timing. I bet the car “butt dyno” feels good and the car sounds great. You have a...

    Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger for Daily Driver

    A good tune and keeping the RPMs under 6k will keep your motor intact. A forged motor, strengthened transmission, and full suspension all will take it up a notch. Most of us don’t have the cash to do it all at once... so getting some power first is a common first move. If his plan is to...

    Nice! Looking forward to some good numbers on your dyno pull!

    Question about Borla ATAK with 315s

    To fit 315s I had to remove my quads (flipping didn’t work). 315s definitely make the space tighter! To get around the MM panhard bar and 315s I had to have an exhaust shop custom bend the exhaust pipes for no rubbing. With no MM panhard your Borlas might be fine.

    Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger for Daily Driver

    Superchargers are belt driven air pumps. Everyone’s setup is different: different blower efficiency & airflow, different size/type intake, different intake manifolds, etc. Air pumps increase the flow of air. Increased air flow will increase the pressure in the intake system because the intake...

    Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger for Daily Driver

    I had the following: 1) upgraded to front cobra brakes 2) upgraded most of my suspension (especially the rear - I like maximum motorsports suspension products) 3) Got some wider rims and sticker tires. 4) upgraded my rear diff and axles to 31 spline / torsen (I like turning left and right) All...

    Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger for Daily Driver

    I haven’t heard that KB tunes are unsafe. If you want to be very specific you can data log with a wideband, get gauges to watch air/fuel ratio, and/or get dyno tuned.

    Kenne Bell 2.1 Supercharger for Daily Driver

    36’s will be fine. Kenne bell comes with a boost-a-pump. It gives a stable voltage to the pump and increases the voltage (which equals more fuel flow) when it senses boost. As long as the stock pump is in good working order I’d just stick with their setup if you plan on using their tune.

    Between the two - the bigger 75mm throttle body for sure. Any injector 39lbs or higher is appropriate for stock fuel pressure and the power levels the stock motor can take (400rwhp). If down the road you plan for forged internals, you’ll need larger injectors.

    93 octane (or whatever premium is in your area) is the way to go to give more flexibility for your tune. The higher octane helps prevent knock /detonation and gives more safety room for the tune. Dyno tunes are as good as the tuner, kenne bell does a good job for keeping to the kit, a good...

    KB is a great option. The maintenance of your car is otherwise similar. The only thing I’ve noticed is that the stickier tires to hold the power are a smidge more expensive, otherwise it is the same car with more power and fun sounds.

    New Edge Build Advice

    I enjoy daily driving a supercharged mustang. The sound and power are great. V3 is a popular choice and easy to maintain. I changed the oil on mine in 10 mins the other day. So easy! As far as the cost goes... it comes down to if the cost of the extra smiles / gallon are worth it to you.

    Stock crank limit numbers?

    400-450rwhp is a good range - at that power level the tune and high revs (preventing them) will determine how the motor does. I‘m daily driving a 438rwhp GT- - good tune, good maintenance, and keeping it under 6k rpm will keep the motor going.
