    2001 Cobra

    Mine had a leaking cylinder you can find them online. I believe blue oval sells a complete kit both cylinders pump and hoses for around $500. In my case my right cylinder was leaking causing the pump to struggle and heat up. Then would die. Have to sit and cool. Better just to do the whole...

    Need Help! Need Advice For Super Charger On 03 Gt

    I think it would be wrong to say that a pd falls on it's face up high......I just had to increase the limiter on my ecu at the recommendation of sneaky to spin some more high end hp. And I'm running an eaton.....super inefficient compared to other blowers. And I'm still running n/a cams losing a...

    Engine Teksid Build Update....

    Yea I'll be going back on the dyno in a few weeks with some changes I'm making. He might have kept it at 6000 cuz the motor only had 200 miles on it when it got dyno'd. I'll def find out. Realistically it wouldn't be til summertime until I can upgrade the blower but everything I have should...

    Engine Teksid Build Update....

    Yea the complete kit (timing chains, ford racing head gaskets, head bolts) everything to install was $3300. My tuner recommended them to me because his brother has a procharged gt with them making 675hp. I don't know what supercharger. He knew I planned on looking for 650-700 and said for price...

    Engine Teksid Build Update....

    I absolutely agree with you. The reason I chose them was cost comparison. $1700 for a a good set of ported pi heads plus spring upgrades plus new cams and other replaced parts put cost up around $2500. Trick flow heads and cams were $3300 everything new supposedly super efficient. See what...

    Block Up Build

    Yea and they average $1000 less than a whipple. I don't wanna put a huge blower like a 2.9 or 3.4 because with my hp goal they wouldn't be running efficiently. I'm looking for 650.

    My last dyno tuning before the new motor it was around 4000-4500.

    Block Up Build

    That's my dilemma now. My tuner figures I'll peak 525hp on pump gas. Starting to stash cash for a whipple or tvs. I hear they produce more torque then the whipples

    Block Up Build

    Yea you should be able to. Do you know what kindve supercharger you plan on running? Blower style or centrifugal?

    Block Up Build

    I personally run trick flows cuz they match the heads. A lot of people run comp cams. I wouldn't run the plastic manifold in a boosted car but I'm sure people do. I use a tork tech system which utilizes an aluminum custom lower intake manifold.

    Block Up Build

    If you are content with 400hp then stock bottom end would be fine. Plenty of people out there running for years at 400hp. If you still want to rebuild and have a fresh engine then a less expensive (but far from sub par) route would be to have your stock cast crank inspected by a machine shop...

    Block Up Build

    My build just cost $11,000 and that's at 500hp. And 500hp is a lot of car. Do yourself a favor a set a budget and see what you can reach with that because speed is really like a drug. You won't wanna stop til you reach your goal believe me. And when you get that high in hp little bumps cost big...

    Block Up Build

    And 500hp on a stock bottom is absolutely a no. You might as well light it on fire. 480hp lasted a couple months in my car but I already had a teksid block to install

    Block Up Build

    Lbs of boost wouldn't be the concern with forged parts it's hp. Your average manley rods are rated to 750hp......can you make more.....probably.....but plan on $20,000 to make 750hp. If you're gonna go supercharged I have now learned a good set of ported pi heads go a long way. I'm running trick...

    Engine Teksid Build Update....

    Still on the hunt for 500. 488&491 pulls back to back. Next move throttle body plenum dual pass exchanger. Heads and cams significantly lowered boost pressure in manifold. 12.25lbs with a 2.80" pulley but iat not bad

    Engine Teksid Build Update....

    That was with plain old pi heads and cams. I'll see if I can find the dyno pull for the 480 I posted the 455 on here before I believe. I am hoping to be putting on a whipple this summer but more realistically will be in the winter time
