Dude, this thread is not about me or my car... And if you knew more about Mustangs you would respect the 4R70W.

I'd go with the Vortech and gears because its the cheapest and that should leave you with some extra cash to get a plenum/tb or exhaust. Since its a centri and if u shift at low rpms for DD u wont put as much stress on ur engine from boost like a roots or twin screw.

If u choose to go with option 1, dont get the intake stuff unless its the KB options

Werd! I'm psyched! Gears are getting done next weekend and then I'll be buying the blower/installing the blower early June! Now I need to find somewhere to get the car dyno tuned...I'm thinking Kauffmans...

im not saying anything about it. autos are easier to drive in the snow. 4R70W or not...i dont like autos...so i will not respect it unless you have a 800+ hp car

Kauffmans or JD's just outside of NE Philly if you don't want to drive 3 hrs. I still haven't decided where i'm going either. I found another really good SCT tuner in far South Jersey..Matt Hill Motorsports. So i'll flip some coins or something.

I'm just quoting the last thing you said but anyway, don't get gears with a blower if your going to drive in the snow, you won't be able to go anywhere

So true. It should be something like this..
Option 2: Vortech + Gears+Beater

Vortech SQ Tuner Kit $2,300
LMAF 90mm $90
42# Injectors $250
Focus Fuel Pump $100
SCT2 Tuner $400
3.73s $350
Beater $1000

Total: $4,300

horseshoe huh? Tim needs to describe it for us.

AmBo · Apr 4, 2006

The tune is what I'm worried about. I should do the tb/plenum + exhaust before the blower, right? That way it can get tuned while it's on. Or can I get it tuned, then do the tb/plenum + exhaust after?

imblown-ru · Apr 4, 2006

man i could drive an auto in the snow with the best of them...maybe a completely stock 5 speed gt would be okay for the snow, but i find it much easier to drive an auto in the snow. if you dont let out on the clutch just right, its too much force at once, and your just gonna spin the tires. if you guys are talking about driving around in a dusting of snow then i dont guess it matters, but for a few inches, id rather have the auto.

DropTopPony · Apr 4, 2006

you might as well do it first so when you get tuned its for everything....you have money, stop being so cheap!

Arms are in a U shape. The head looked like a pin at first. The black one is a dead give away.

So this is how it's looking so far. Please correct me if I'm missing something:

Option 2: Vortech + Gears
Vortech SQ Tuner Kit $2,300
LMAF 90mm $90
42# Injectors $250
Focus Fuel Pump $100
Accufab 75mm tb/plenum: $420
Magnaflows & Magnaflow Catted X: $750
SCT2 Tuner $360 *bought*
3.73s $180 (labor: $175)*bought*

Total: $4,435

VPStang · Apr 5, 2006

new IAT
don't forget dyno tune...

you can get away with not getting catback til later
probably also with tb and plenum but you prob want those on their for the dyno tune...

It's not that big of a deal to hit 365 rwhp with vortech and otherwise stock car...
just remember that when you're trying to add all this extra stuff on...

I need serious input guys...
