I'm wondering how good of a perf. upgrade would this give me.

Borla Exhaust, BBK heads and off-road x, Bomz intake, dragon phlemun, steeda pullies, some kinda throttle body and s/c, re-tune to use 93 octane gas, a racing chip, and redo the gears.

I'm hoping this would get to close to 550 but i doubt it will, everything except the s/c would get me about 350-400 then the s/c would get me about 100 more than that maybe.

I also wanted to get a good body kit, maybe a saleen but I just dont like how to back bumper is, or that ugly wing...

 

From what I've been told if you're going forced induction then keep the stock pullies.

Also look into laying out a plan for your Stang. Do you more show vs go...etc? Are you gonna cruise vs race? That should factor in when buying parts.

Since you got an auto....and you're considering a S/C you might want a more aggressive shift kit. Is the car lowered? If the car is lowered you might be careful with a body kit because of scraping.

Also do you have a stock suspension....you might wanna invest a little more in those products. Because those won't get you any HP numbers, but you will make the most out of what ya got.

 

If your car is stock now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you won't be anywhere near that number . Before the S/C install I had the following:

K&N FIPK CAI, BBK 70mm T/B,C&L Plenum,Steeda Pullies, Mac Prochamber,Mac 3.5 Cat-Back, SCT Tune

I put Down 262RWHP/301.7RWTQ I have attached a Dyno Graph for the N/A pull below.

This was also in a 5-speed car.( I believe the #'s would be slight lower in an Auto) If you add headers to the mix, the most I have seen is about 271RWHP. You will have to at least add cams to the mod list to even get 300RWHP.

Also, you might want to get Upper, and Lower Control arms, and definately some SFC's when you mod the car, especially in a Vert.

I will tell ya from experience, and a lot of wasted money, if you want a S/C, save the money on the other stuff, and get the S/C first. You can add headers, and the other stuff later. You can get around 360 HP on a stock motor with a S/C kit, and a good tune.

Look at my sig to see the mods, and the #'s with a S/C set up. This is about maxed out on HP for stock internals. If you want more than 410+ HP, you'd better at least change pistons, and probably the crank.

 

What I want to do with the car, is have it be in the mid 12's and still be street legal... all I want as far as show, is too look mean... I've done almost everything i want to make that car look better. All I might do left is a new hood and a body kit.

I was looking at the saleen s/c on the 05's and that thing is crazy powerful... did they make a similar one for the 99-04's? or is it just like any normal s/c? If I get the saleen s/c, i'd probably have to get a new hood b/c there's not enough room under there...

Oh, and what's a SFC?

 

SFC = Subframe Connector. Check out steeda, maximum motorsports or UPR for options.

To get into the mid 12's with ease, i'd install a supercharger and be done with it. a vortech s-trim or a Kenne Bell blower will do the trick.

KB is much like the saleen style roots blowers.

 

The KB doen't let you have any coolers.... I'd rather get a saleen... I only with that the 05 saleen blower would work on the 99-04's :cry:
