MY motor enough For a SuperCharger

[GoneMad96]

Sup guys just wondering if my motor would be fine to hang if i supercharged it! so far mods are as follows:

bbk shorties
bbk x-pipe
75 mm fordracing tb
steeda pullies
v-force performance mufflers
3.73 fordracing gears
hypertech chip
trans is auto with shiftkit

what you all think dont wanta blow motor but getten 4k's back in taxes

It should be fine. I think the limit on the 2v is around 400rwhp so yeah its all good. What blower you lookin to get?

 

[GoneMad96]

either a vortech or powerdyne! which you think is better

 

[2002BLGT]

your car a 96 ??

 

[WhiteDevil69]

either a vortech or powerdyne! which you think is better

I'd get the "mongoose" kit from www.modularfordpowerhouse.com. $4000 with the chip and all needed components. Then you should start with the suspension mods, your gonna have a whole lotta power and stock GT sus/rear end.. Good luck man, T&J are definite pros, cant go wrong there!

 

[GoneMad96]

yeah i got a 96gt

I agree w/ above...Vortech is definetly better than powerdyne also

 

[2002BLGT]

if you want a little more power , go with the SVO roots blower or the powerdyne , if you wanna do big numbers or upgrade later , go with the vortech

procharger any good hear lots of people are going for those now...... oh and my suspenion is already all done

procharger is another good one but you might want to do some research one what else you will need , the kits they sell for the newer GTs need extra injectors and mass air , plus they have not had the best reviews on tuning , which might not be a problem on your year model though , oh and they did have a problem with leaking head units but supposedly fixed now

 

[GoneMad96]

yeah i think i going to go with either vortech or powerdyne, powerdune a bit cheaper so i looking more toward that.....

 

[GoneMad96]

o how much more hp do you get outta a intercooler is it worth then cash

I agree but just wanted to make one correcttion. Tim tunes by reflashing your computer with EFI rather than using a chip.

 

[2002BLGT]

depends , do you have alot of miles on your engine

 

[GoneMad96]

does the miles on your car matter when supercharing mine just hit 100,000 but i take super good care of it......

With that many miles I would look at getting a 99 or newer low mileage engine to swap out , that way you have a fresher bottom end , you will gain a lot from that alone , then do the supercharger (vortech) because boost puts a bigger strain as does any power adder to the bottom end .

My car had 105000 on it when I put the supercharger on it and it has 109000 on it now . With all those miles on it I was able to put the the screws to a ls1 last night . I paid 3299.00 for the complete kit. Which included 42lb injectors steeda powerpipe 255lph walbro fuel pump and a custom tuned superchip also I installed it myself which saved more money.

instead of buying a new engine could he also just get a new shortblock and a new long block? couldn't he make more power this way safer too?

[zgarske1038]
