The booster is stock. That's prob why it feels as if you don't have much power. You need to replace that booster from one from a 1993 Cobra, 94-95 Mustang or 99-04 V6 Mustang. That should give you the assist you need.


Looking back at your list, the 2004 Cobra rear end parts are to be questioned as well. 2004 Cobras were Independant Rear Suspension cars, but your car (i assume) has a solid axle. From what i can see from the pics, it does look like Cobra rear brakes, but the solid axle variety. need a better pic to confirm.

I'll take another pic. My thought was it was a cobra diff my axle. It is a 5 lug swap so I'm hoping it has 31 splines.

Lol too much money right now. Can always sell this for over what I paid or the same and go turbo later... I'd rather save for slicks and skinnies and a new block lol.

Thanks though. Stay tuned!

Well I got all of the smog stuff off including the egr pips that go to each side of the head on the back. I also pulled off my passenger header. A nightmare in itself, then I welded it where it had broken in the bottom connection to the h pipe. I need a lot more practice welding...






I think it is at least good enough to hold though so I let it cool off and then put it back on. That Sucked. My fingers feel blistered from trying to turn the header bolts so hard. But in the end I succeeded and I think I am solid on that at least now. I need to bend or cap or something the h pipe which had a connection for the smog system. Also I need those plugs for the heads because major leak back there when you crank it up. Far too loud to tell if my header is leaking or not. Oh well those come Thursday. In the meantime.... Pics of supercharger! An other stuff

Some smog stuff




Before...




Clean garage!



Yay boxes. I love ups. Man he wrapped this stuff well.





Screw big air maf



Power pipe



Individually wrapped 60# injectors



Gave me a goal showing me his best et




Boooom

Well I have been working getting the kit on.
So far I have deleted all smog stuff, fixed I hope lol my leaky pass side header, Mounted supercharger and alternator and bracket, tapped the pan, and installed the oil pickup.

I just grabbed a new wix oil filter and some Royal Purple 10-30 to change the oil with. Don't want any shards making it into the engine after tapping.

I still need to...

Install 60# injectors
Install sct chip
Change oil and filter
Install new harmonic balancer
Install new pulley system
Install tension on new bracket - had to buy from summit. Previous owner of kit didn't use it....
Buy and install new spark plugs
Install smog delete plugs - if they ever get here
Install corbeau fx1 racing seats


So here is the work...





Finally picked one if these up too lol.










Shiny new and Sfi approved.

I need to change my sig! That car dyno'd at 419. Then about 6 months later it caught fire and burned beyond rebuilding. I finally bought another a few months ago and the first thing I did was install the vortech. It's going to the dyno in two weeks.

Well I had the wide version and they didnt fit at all. I now have the Pros which are the smallest. They fit easily with room to spare, I would go with the normal FX1 and might even trade these ones in for some idk. They are very comfortable and supportive. Plus they look great!
