Ok, so ive been reading the last zillion threads about staying N/A and making power, staying stock-ish and adding a blower in the mix, or just spraying the hell out of the engine with a properly setup nitrous kit.
So... basically heres what I want to know. To the people that get these mods, do you want to get into a certain time zone at the drag strip, or just have a crapload of power at your disposal?
Next up... What is the best combo for a decent amount of power? I mean enough to throw you in the seat hard, and be comfortably in low 13 or possibly HIGH 12 sec. territory at the strip?
What do you guys think the best setup is?
I guess one of my first questions is, how fast can a BOLT ON 4.6 be? No forced induction, nitrous or whatnot... just bolt ons and traction... whats possible?
Next... Ive come to realise there is no cheap way to get a 4.6 to make good power, cept for a big shot of nitrous which isnt too appealing to me.
How would a setup of some agressive cams (but stock heads) with all the standard bolt ons and exhaust (longtubes included) and a good tune stack up to a stock engine with a run of the mill average S/C kit, not pushing too much boost due to reliablilty worries?
I like the idea of going fast N/A, because its just more than bolting something on, getting it to run right and your done... but then I just as much like the idea of being able to slap on a blower and the supporting parts, and hauling ass without the hassle of tearing into the engine itself.
But which route do you guys feel is most COST efficient, but without sacraficing much power. I rather be making decent numbers and being on the low end of the budget, than making a little more power but spending 2x the money.
Sorry for the big post... but I felt like asking the question..:SNSign:
