    UDP and Supercharger?

    Well, If the necessary belt size does not change i dont see a problem. But, if you got the udp for power isnt a supercharger enough power? I have also heard not to, but i can't say from personal experience.

    How much power with bolt-ons?

    The answer your question specifically a cam and intake/tune combo will give you around 50whp. Also, brent finds the cams to be very mild. a more aggresive cam would net an additionl 10-15hp easy.

    How much power with bolt-ons?

    think about this. FAST is coming out with a new intake manifold that is supposed to give impressive gains. the first word was 40hp, but i bet it wont be close to that. say it is 20, cams(30), and intake(20-25) you might get a good 75rwhp or close to 90 crank hp. these three together plus some...

    4.30 too big for supercharger?

    You will never get traction in first gear with 4.10 or 4.30 with a supercharged car. If you are going to supercharge your car, stay with the stock gears or at most a 3.73. Or you can get some 10.5" rims and 315 drag radials.

    How much power with bolt-ons?

    Cams are great, but i dont consider them "Bolt-On". Without cams you would probably max at 315 RWHP given the current available bolt ons. which equals 355-365 crank hp or so. An increase of that much plus gears will drop a second off your 1/4 mile given you can stick to the road. Saying this...

    New '07 GT - Starting Problem, Brake/TCS lights on

    Ive never heard that as a problem on any new car straight off the showroom floor. That is ridiculous. I would trade it for a different car immedeately. If you buy a brand new car, you shouldnt have any problems what soever for a long time. Since yours is brand new and has problems already i...

    Returning to stock tune

    like said, you would have to reinstall stock parts. If you want better gas mileage you could have an 87 octane economy tune for the car and keep the intake systm in there. I doubt you will get better mileage than with the tune. I would guess you would probably get worse mileage with the stock...

    I need your opinion on wheels!

    Have you seen the optional 5 spoke forged saleen wheel? they are very attractive. You may be able to setup some sort of a trade Of the 2 shown above, i would go with the ones on the yellow that have the BBs look. Very nice.

    Any regrets going w/ 20's over 18's

    Anytime you focus the weight of something further away from the center of rotation it takes more energy to accelerate and decelerate the rotation. Even with a wheel that weighs the same but the weight is further away from the center of rotation you will have decreased performance. Word on the...

    Any regrets going w/ 20's over 18's

    Facts: 20's will give you worse gas mileage, slower acceleration, decreased braking performance, rougher ride, more stress on drivetrain all due to increased rotational mass, decreased tire life and much greater potential to scratch and damage rim lip. Not to mention more expensive tire...

    Whats your favorite supercharger?

    Centrifugal: Procharger Roots or a twinscrew: Kenne Belle big bore. They are wicked. Dont forget the hellion turbo kit. There is a guy here running one. It sounds amazing.

    chevy killer

    Ford is required to honor a Saleen blower as part of your warranty for 3 years. They have a contract. The stock system is tuned to produce roughly 435 hp. Saleen offers a 475hp upgrade kit. You can upgrade the pulley even further and get about 500 hp or even more. That with a good suspension and...

    How do I do nitrous?

    If you ask me, yes. When i ran in 85 degree temperature and 1/2 tank of nitrous i was getting about 650 psi. say its is 110 degrees, you still wont get close 1000psi like the system should run. But, if you can maintain between 900 and 1100 psi all the time then skip it. Alo the pressure drop...

    Next Mods

    my vote goes 1 to some gears, or 2 the UDP's. If you can spend the extra $$$ LT headers with a mid(x or h) pipe would be sweet. I cant say from personal experience on the TB, but i have heard nothing but negative about any of them. What would be sweet is if you had the pulleys and gears...

    long tube or shorty with bolt ons... is it worth

    LT headers will help put out an awesome sound. you will hear more clearly each individual cylinder and have a crisp deep rumble at idle. i cant wait to afford some mods. As far as power, the Shorties and LT dont compare. You may get 3-5 hp with shorties, but a well tuned LT setup can produce...

    How do I do nitrous?

    Brenspeed will take care of your tunng needs. If i remember correctly, anything less than 125 shot is free with the purchase of the kit. dont quote me on that though. Nitrous is not that hard really. I had a nitrous express kit on my mitsu 3000gt. I did the whole install myself in about 9...
