Good day all. I am new to the forum so I am gonna give a quick summary of what has already been upgraded on my 2002 Mustang GT: Cold Air Intake, Plenum, 75mm Throttle Body, Mac Cat Backs, Mac H-Pipe, Pulleys, Chip, Thermostat, Lowering Springs, and Short Shifter. She putting down about 270rwhp on a nice cool day. Can't remember off the top of my head of the brand names of each part, I am not near my punch list. I have her set up next month to change out the Flywheel, Timing Adjuster, and put in a Spec II clutch and some months later doing the Headers. Now my question is for the mods after the Headers upgrade. Should I go straight for the blower for 125 to 150rwhp gain or keep working on the engine by doing the Hedd/Cam Package for a ball park of 50 to 70rwhp gain? Hedd/Cam package is slightly cheaper then the blower of course but should I spend the big big bucks now or just pick at the engine till there not much more to do then go blower? It would be nice for a Mustang GT to put down over 300rwhp without it being juiced. Sorry for such a long post, it has been on my mind for some time now even though it is a good 6 to 8 months away. Any feed back would be appreciated!


Thanks,
Jason

 

Well it depends on what you want out of the car.

Blowers are friggin awesome, but you said it, they cost more.

Its a hard toss up honestly, but if you go the blower route, be prepared later down the road to have a engine rebuild on your mind. You can run a head/cam package on teh stock motor fairly well and not really have to worry about blowing it up. Blowers can be made safe as well, just make sure you get it dyno tuned by someone who knows what they are doing.

Either way is a very good option and you will be happy with teh power the car makes.

 

Gears?

 

Thanks Mustangfun101, I knew there was one thing I had left out. I am currently now running 3:73 gears.

 

Sounds like a supercharger is next to me. See my thread about asking for opinons on Superchargers, lots of info.

 

Those are a lot of upgrades. My hard time is doing upgrades that last and don't breakdown (which is why I am sticking to cosmetic changes lately). Repairs have been too costly on inner repairs for after-market stuff,.
