What S/C to get???

[Guero]

I've been looking for a S/C, but can only find for fox body's. Do they fit on ours?? Will 5-6lbs get me in the 430+HP at the rear??? If I get a house, I'm gonna order the Supercharger right away!!!!

 

[tjh566]

stockheads/bottom end.... 5-6... no. not even close

Stock heads and bottom end 5-6 will probly put you around the 300 to the wheels mark.

as for the charger, alot like vortech or the kenne bells.

 

[Guero]

Oh i forgot i took my sig of. I have Trickflow heads, b-31 Cam, 1.6 rockers. Other **** to. Oh yeah its on a 306. Dont matter but its a little bigger

 

[tjh566]

well, with an H/C/I, 5-6 would probly put you around 350-360 to the wheels, maybe, hard to say for me at least, dont have experience boosting H/C/I, but the general rule of thumb is about 10 rwhp per pound of boost. give or take a few.

 

[Guero]

damn that sucks. I haven't dyno tued, but I was hoping 320 at the rear. If thats the case. Ill stick with my 125 shot

 

[drakesdad]

Guero...
If you are serious there is one on Corral classifieds..a Vortech...only missing a boost retard and oil fitting........"asking 1800.00...

username is Jeepman.. real name is Tim.he is on here as well...guy lives in Cleveland and 'always" has some type of Mustang stuff.....might want to look into it....
good luck

 

[Guero]

If i were to buy it. I want to get in on ebay, or locally. Thats a nice chunk of change to get ripped a new one.

a supercharger is always there and doesnt need refilling, run 7-8 psi and have 400 rwhp and call it a day.

As I see it ...It all boils down to the two basic types

Centri ... Like Vortech
Screw ... Like KB

In a nutshell ........

Centri's come on later in the power band but just keep
making power to the redline.

Screw's have max boost just a bit off idle and might die off a bit as you
approach the redline.

Each one feels V E R Y different

The Centri will almost always put up bigger dyno numbers

The Screw will make you think you transplanted a big block in you Stang

IMHO ... Torque is where its at on the street
sooooo
I will be doing a 2.2 KB ... someday ... when funds allow

the bigger supercharger is like a grand more. Dont think i can afford that. TJH566, your right about N2O but at the same time its good. You dont always stress your motor when you punch it if your not spraying

 

[tjh566]

true, good point, but you can do light to moderate acceleration with no boost. plus i just love the torque as grady said above, off idle.

 

[Guero]

yeah the KB would be awesome but dont they cost like 5 g's??? I just want that whine that my GTP had!!!!

LOL!!! Ok i guess i want the extra power to

I remember seeing a guy at a local dyno day with a stock headed gt40 intake vortec running 12 or 15lbs putting down like 420wrhp. I would think with your heads and such with 10-12lbs you would be close.

If I ever run boost...it will be a turbo. I like the idea of no front drag on the crank/block and dial-a-boost from a boost controler.

????????????

 

[blksn955.o]

The belt that drives the charger, it adds load to the front of the crank snout and can lead to faster wear/failure. Plus it robs power...were boost from a turbo is "free"

 

[Guero]

I was looking at turbo setups, but i would have to take of the long tubes. And they were really hard to put in. So there staying!!

 

[bimmertech]

terbow

seriously, think about all the guys with vortechs/kb's and see what they switch to. a few will go with 347's, but most will go with a turbo.

more torque=more better

Well ... In that case

You'll have to Pay
if
You wanna Play

On the other hand

You'll then have BOTH ... Must Have Sounds ... at idle

Whine AND Rump-It-T Rump
