TO get high 500-600 rwhp I would think you would need heads, stock heads can only flow so good.
He wouldn't need new heads, and could probably get an ebay intercooler setup for about $800. Either way though it will still cost a good chunk of change to get into the 500-600hp range.

If you only have 5-6k to spend if you do a short block first that will eat up most of that money right there if you are having someone else install it. As far as blowers go, Id go a T-Trim or Novi 2000, I’m going to be upgrading to a T in the near future.
The problem is with the cars you want to run against they are making mid 500s and I know the Supras are lighter so you would have to be making high 500 if not 600 rwhp.
Here’s a list of what you’d need:
Forged Short Block: $4000 (VT Sportsman)
Blower Cams: $500
Heads: $1500-2500
Supercharger: $3795+ (Mongoose SQ-Trim) T-Trim will be more
8 Rib Kit w/ Pulley: $650
Paxton A/A IC: $1500 (Could do custom for cheaper)
Vortech Mini Race: $250
Cobra Tank/Pumps: $1000 (can be bought cheaper)
Total: $13200 and that’s on the light side. This is also without upgrading suspension or your rear end and you installing everything your self.
In all honesty, if I could do it all over again I would have bought a Cobra. Cheaper to mod and you can make tons of power with out having to tare into the engine.
They have a flat tq curve but their hp continually rises until redline.
Isn't it true that if you are building a new motor for a blown application, you should build it up and break it in with the supercharger on it?
Add a TKO or Viper T-56...
Exactly.
Hense the definition of horsepower
Don't worry about those Supras though. They're all dyno queens1200hp quad-turbos and they'll still owe Vin Diesel a 10 second car.
Twin screws being a low end power only blower is a common misconception. They have a flat tq curve but their hp continually rises until redline. KB 1.7L and 2.1L max potential is more limited than other centris and the larger 2.2L and 2.6L blowers. But a KB 2.2 or 2.6L can turn any car into a street and highway monster. There's are KB'ed 2Vs topping 700rwhp now, and even one with a 2.8L making over 900rwhp.
I kinda worded that wrong. What I meant was that the KB type blower will be making power pretty much instantly and from down low, it will slowly taper off in the higher RPMS. The Centri on the other hand will take a bit to spool up but the faster you go the more power you'll gain. Centris are more for high RPM runs and KB's are more for dig runs (minus the whole lack of traction issue).
wow, centris are getting trashed! if you are driving in a centri car and want to get on it, just downshift to put you in your power band. that is the difference, the kb can just step on it, and the centri will have to down shift and step on it.
I like the centri's ALOT (the sound and setup at least)
The only supercharged mustang I've ever driven is my friends 03 cobra...i liked the instant power...but it seemed to reach its kick really fast and not pull much harder after reaching that kick....4500-redline-ish
And I have been in alot of fast turbo cars too...NEVER a centri-supercharged though...how similar is the spool setup???
What kind of "lag" are you guys experiencing in the lower RPM's???
Would a T-Trim experience alot of "lag" or surging before 3 or 4 grand???
my car doesnt lag if you know how to drive it. i make 2 psi at 3000 rpm and i'm at 9 psi by 4800 it doesnt take long to get there and it doesnt blow the tires off when you stop it like my buddys KB car.
i have some videos of 70 mph burnouts in his car if anyone is interested.
i love my blower. it is perfect on the street and strip. it wont instantly pin you to the seats like a KB will but even my buddy says he likes the way mine drives on the street better than his.
i'll throw the video clips together and post it up now.
video is ready! ( it was filmed on a closed road and no amimals were harmed in the making of this video!)
let me know what you think.
