Hi guys, i have a 1994 gt with 59,*** miles on it. I wanted to konw how would i get this car to run in the mid 13's without using cam, heads, or nitrous. i want to go with a supercharger setup, but i dont no which to use, or wat i need to add so it would let my car run in a way where nothin can mess up. I dont care what it's gona cost, but i would like it to be not that expensive. The car is a convertible 5.0 with a automatic transsmisson. thanx guys

 

A vortech kit is going to be your cheapest/best bet to get into the mid 13's. Push it about 8psi and it should do well for you.

Your best bet is to talk to some local shops in your area and see what they would recommend because a s/c is defintely going to require a good tune.

 

I like the Procharger P-1SC kit. My uncle has it on his F-150 and it Cranks out some power. His truk will run up to the 128mph shut off point in 3rd gear. (automatic while being held, with shift kit)
Do you wanna keep the auto? If so put a C-4 in it with a 2800 stall converter, if you want the stick, go with a Temec T-56. also, a set of 4.10 gears will be great and pick up a few tenths for your car.

 

Could my engine handle a supercharger, don't want anythin to go wrong with the engine becuase its been my moms car since 1994 and she gave it to me for my bday

 

Blower will be fine as long as you keep the boost at a reasonable rate, like 9psi. Maintain a safe air/fuel ratio and timing.

 

I heard superchargers snap a lot of belts.....how does the Vortech and Procharger hold-up under regular use......kinda hard to define "regular use" with a supercharger.

Basically meaning not racing it every 10 secs, but when you need it.

 

My uncle races his F-150 constantly against anything and everything and belt is fine, just make sure the pulleys are aligned correctly, otherwise the belt will get eaten up or jump off.

He even raced a Viper the other day and he got left when they hit 100, but had himt ill then.

 

What's wrong with a cam, they will give you great power and an awsome sound! All the bolt on you can put on the better. A full exhaust, gears, chip and a full intake will cost around $3000, major difference in power.

 

Yeah thats the good thing about 5.0's. They have tons of parts and they're really cheap. If It were my car, I would push a lot of NA power and if you run out of ideas, then I'd put a supercharger on. With a 5.0 I would go with full exhaust, cai, 75mm tb, pulleys, gt-40 heads, new cam, and a good tune and you can get it close to 300 to the rear wheels. With that much power, some good tires and suspension. You should easily be about low 13's.

 

I would do cams and heads, but u don't know anything about them or what they would do to the car. I read about intake manifold and i was wondering how they perform in a basicly stock car

 

sorry i mean i dont no anythin bout them

 

I'd Go with a Supercharger, Vortech.. With the Right Parts and Time, you could easily get that car, where you want it

 

cam, gears, slicks, exhaust, Turbo, TB, MAF, injectors, heads, rods, overbore to a 306, skinnies, intake, Tremec T-56

There is a list for you, a cam will add some good power to a 5.0 why dont u want one? the Heads will too, but that is an option, i listed it because they add alot of power and reduce weight.

 

That is alot more money, time and mods than the origional poster wants. A mid-low 13 sec car doesnt need half of that including the turbo, t-56, 306.

 

I think i went a little overbored, but i think with a 306 the car would hit 13s.

 

overboard.


Anyways, if he's not wanting to pull the heads/intake, why would he want to pull the whole motor for a rebuild. A supercharger is going to be the quickest, most user friendly mod as long as he gets a good shop to tune the car properly.

 

not sure why you wouldn't want to do h/c/i, especially if worried about hurting the motor, BUT since you don't want to do that stuff, yeah a s/c will get you there.

but you can also look at other methods of improving times like others have said, such as gears, sticky tires, weight reduction, a drag suspension setup, things like that.

 

overboard.

Overbored, it was a joke......obviously a bad one
I didnt realize the H/I thing required less work than a 306. WHoops, i wasnt thinking strait.

 

well either one is going to be alot of work.. but to do a 306, you will have to pull the whole motor, not just the top end. Plus takeing it to a machine shop and reassembly.

 

Yah, understood. The hairdryer is prolly the most reliable cheapest way to go. A single T-67 turbo with 10psi will produce some crazy power. Check this out www.hellionpowersystems.com
