I am the proud owner of a 96 GT. It currently has a 70mm TB, short throw shifter and an edelbrock 80 shot system. I just bought a vortech supercharger, Grannatelli 80 mm MAF sensor, Ford 30# injectors, and a BBK adjustable fuel pressure regulator, as well as Richmond 4.10s Eaton posi lock differential and moser 31 spline axels, and BFGoodrich drag radials. All this is going in next week, I am wondering what kind of horsepower should I expect to see not counting the nitrous? Should I still run the nitrous on top of the supercharger on my stock engine since it is only an 80 shot or wait till I rebuild it next month? and What 1/4 times might I expect to see off the entire setup? Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced!
 
A lot of things to consider. Like what type of supercharger, boost level, A/F ratio you are going to run, etc. I wouldn't run the nitrous on top. It would probably go for sure. For dyno, right now its sounds like you may be making about 195 rwhp area. If you run 14.56 lbs of boost you'll double your flywheel power. I am guessing you will only run about 10lbs, so with that and the other stuff it should be something like 320 rwhp. With that hp would could run any where from low 13's to high 11's. It just depends on your set-up.
 
With the S-Trim I would stay to the 320 guess. The last thing you want is high or unrealstic expectations. That kind of stuff is hard to guess on, too. It just gets you pissed off in the end, trust me I've done too many times.
