440rwhp looking for more with photo's


Well I am back see the history s/c install..

http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=605090

Well I have/had a 440 rwhp '94 Mustang with a 347 stroker motor and a Vortech SQ. for 2 weeks. Anyway Friday night decided I really was crazy and went for the more HP. I really wanted/thought I had 450 to 500 rwhp in my setup. Didn't happen so I knew something had to be done. Thought I would wait til summer and more money but couldn't..

Fixes (Thanks to Paul's Automotive Engineering)
Knew the Lightning MAF was pegged so a SCT meter was the fix.

Compared the Vortech intake to a Power pipe intake Thanks to my son Tom for the pipe.

Another part was opening the fender for a PowerPipe.. Thanks to my son Jay for cutting the hole and installing the Powerpipe.

Installing the Powerpipe.. and meter

So Monday I will take my SCT chip to Mike @ Paul's Automotive to get a tune for the SCT meter. (car starts but won't run without it) Then take the car to Paul's for a dyno tune.

Impatiently waiting .. Steve

It should get you to the 475 range easily. Depending how well those guy know how to tune, maybe more.

Alright Steve! I'm glad to see that these are the changes you made as I think they are going to go a LONG way in helping you get the numbers we all thought you'd see. Good luck and keep us posted!
