    spining the vortech faster with alum.

    You are 100% right, but all of this falls into common sense / luck / good ole Murphy's Law. Anyone pushing #'s like that should understand that they need a fuel system to keep up, and not to run 20* of timing... a big DUH. I said that with the head mods (solid lifters, stainless valves...

    spining the vortech faster with alum.

    Holy poop! no wonder you started this post! Take that 3.60 pulley and chuck it at a honda NOW! I SAID NOW! Now log on to vortech's website and buy the 3.33". You WILL need a retune as you are pushing a lot more air. Other things you should have.... when you upgrade to a FMIC, you...

    spining the vortech faster with alum.

    No worries man. I just really don't want to see you drop cash on an aluminum FW when it wont help your boost issue. one other thing that has been overlooked.... What pulley are you running? If you still have the stock 3.60" pulley I'm sure you are HATING your car. I don't know why vortech...

    Fuel pump

    255lph vortech turbine pump > focus pump And yes, it IS the correct style pump for the 99 and up cars. It is NOT a gear pump like the walbro 255's. It is whats called a "turbine pump" and the focus pumps have some scary drawbacks... check out kenne bell's website for more on that...

    spining the vortech faster with alum.

    I am at 4.5psi at 2,800rpm on the vortech. Aluminum flywheels work yes, but many chatter badly, and they are just plain not needed. The money would be best spent anywhere else... The guy asking the question seemed to have a limited budget so I suggested against a mod that would do little to...

    spining the vortech faster with alum.

    1.7 KB poops out at upper RPM. (also, the vortech v-2 w/ a 3.33" pulley makes more power at all RPM's than a 1.7KB when both would be making 10psi at redline...) Don't waste $$ on an aluminum FW Driveshaft is a good investment 4.10 gears are WAY too much for a blower car if your making good...

    Drove my friends 07' Vette last night

    No considering about it. It IS a small block. Just like a 302 IS a small block and a 460 IS a big block

    New brand of 315 tire. Cheap. Anyone hear of them?

    Hey, I have the chance to get a BUNCH of these tires really cheap, but I know NOTHING about them. And at $350 a pair, they seem pretty nice. They were used on some cool mustang concept car overseas thats making 500+HP to the wheels... The tire...

    Driving in 4th gear at 3,000 RPM at Highway Speeds

    totally random, but my boat has a 460 in it that cruises at 4,800rpm for a few hours at a time at WOT. Engine was lifted straight out of a truck. No cool parts on it other than a high volume oil pump.

    Revving at other stangs

    Around here I have noticed a little pattern if you will between the mustangs... one blip of the throttle is a "hey nice ride" 2 blips is "line up and go at it" actually, seems to go for most of the v8 cars around here in sarasota. Don't know where it started though... Anyways, there's...

    Superchargers and driving in rain

    rain is fine, its the standing water that will get ya. just dont ride in the ruts. I have had mine stutter for a while when the MAF got wet. I N-rigged a cover out of a 2L coke bottle that slid up over the filter from the bottom. Had 3 small holes in the bottom of it so it wouldn't hold water if...

    STOLEN MOTOR!!!

    Thanks for all the support guys, I've been through friend after friend... I highly doubt it was any of them as other things were stolen that had no relations to cars. I've reported al the #'s off the block to the cops, but anyone with half a brain will toss the block and part it out. My only...

    STOLEN MOTOR!!!

    Hey everyone, I recently had a built 5.4 engine with a T76 turbo kit bolted on it stolen out of my garage the other night along with a lot of other parts. If you see anything up for sale like a built 5.4 engine, one-off sheet metal 5.4 intake, or 5.4 T76 turbo setup would you please direct...

    vortech mini race bypass

    well, above 12 PSI you NEED an intercooler. If not you are actually stealing more power than your trying to make. Unfortunatly, when you put an intercooler on, you need a bigger bypass valve (assuming it flows decently) or else you will get compressor surge so bad the car will not drive...

    im new here a ?

    welcome to owning a mustang. You will be plagued by little sounds, bumps, clicks, and squeeks until the day you sell her. Fix-all for the above: Turn radio up put windows down install a SLP cat back That will solve most of your problems that would otherwise drive you nuts but never...
