    SuperCharger or Turbo?

    You are just asking for trouble mounting a turbo near the differential. Makes absolutely no sense. Why go through all that trouble when its more than possible to mount it cleanly in the engine bay. :confused: Anywho...355 rwhp from a turbo on a stock bottom end 3.8 NON-Intercooled will not last...

    The only thing really keeping me from going that route (aside from this car being the daily driver) is my lack of knowledge when it comes to carbs. I'm just used to EFI stuff, really. The carb is more my dads specialty, but now even he has been out fo the carb game for awhile. I just hate having...

    SuperCharger or Turbo?

    Feels cooler??? You gotta get the thing installed first before you can "feel" it. Swapping pullies isn't exactly rocket science either. The blower is gonna be an easier install and more often than not more cost efficient.

    SuperCharger or Turbo?

    Go procharger. You will see ~275 or more to the wheels in a 5 spd.

    I tell ya what Dan... we'll both do carbd V8 swaps together. In fact, I'll let you lead and then follow suit based on what you discover. :D It would be neat if we popped up after a short hiatus with carbd V8s in our '00s wouldn't it?? Of course, you definitely have a handful of cubes on me...

    its not EFI, per se, that would be tough; its the fact that you are going with a 5.0. Carbing it would allow you to get around not only replacing the tank and adding a return line, but you would not have near the mess from an electrical standpoint. The fact that he has a 00 would require a full...

    A carbd 351 in the 00 would rock. :flag: But, if you wanted to put it into any fox or SN-95 5.0, that swap is real common and you could still easily retain EFI. Check out the guy on the 94-95 forums who just got his 418 stroker running. He topped it off with an AFR 225/FTI custom cam/Trickflow...

    I used to live 15 minutes from where that car is located. Oh, and unless he carbs that beast, trying to go EFI will be a wiring nightmare, unless of course he runs a standalone system, but then you are talking $$$ and battling the learning curve. Its the same situation I've been in with thie...

    Almost drove away in a 03 Roush Classic today...

    I think if you go back then you must have lost your damn mind. Are you seriously wanting to take on a $1,000/mo payment, and for just a car???? I dont care if you make minimum wage or if you make $200 an hour; that's just ridiculous.

    Is this going into your V6 or do you have something else in the stable?

    gauge pictures

    Unless you are dead set on the blue cobalts, my Lunar gauges were cheaper than the C2s and they match my green cluster display. I believe I got both the water & boost gauges for ~150 shipped through a place on ebay.

    For all of you guys with the phantom gauges, does it ever get a little annoying not being able to see your gauges at night?

    Technical Articles - Coming SOON!!!

    I agree...each forum should have its own tech articles. Installing a V1/V2 or a Procharger on a V6 should be in the V6 forums. I think trying to make one massive cesspool of tech articles is going to turn people off. Just my $.02

    How bad is spraying off the line?

    I thought Gaston banned your IP @ V6power? Anywho, most of them seemed to think it would be alright, but is there anyone local to you that you could talk to who is a nitrous guru?

    Yeah, I'm aware of the limits, but the trq curve is unreal and they sound real nice, however, I've got an S-trim myself and also understand why you are happy with yours. :D

    Nope. Obviously, I'm teh looz. :rlaugh: The "powers that be" that define the actual penalties and fees and whatnot are truly teh looz, not the people paid to enforce them. (at least most of them). It happens to everyone. My ATF internship supervisor got stopped by some rookie for...

    Actually, I think he meant it, but the only problem is he'll never remember me if I decide to go to court, which isn't scheduled until Aug 25. :OT: Whats up with your trader rating? I'm guessing you boys don't take that too serious, huh? :)

    new car

    Roots blower, smoots blower. Grab up a 96 DOHC (we have a few locally in the low $12,000s to mid $13,000s in mint shape) and throw a Kenne Bell on top of that hog and never think twice about the eaton.
