No they both sit lower compared to the Saleen. The Saleen has long intake tubes (which some say is better for torque production) and therefore it sits higher. BUT, it is a great blower.... just as capable in power production as the Whipple or KB.

cheater....

beater...... probably something I don't have to smog, so pre-73. I'm leaning towards a 68-71 F-series truck. I wouldn't mind a 2000-2006 Ranger but I'm already dumping a lot of money into my car the same amount or more into another vehicle will be next to impossible.


Bill...
I think being inventive enough you could in some fasion the shaker to work with a KB or Whipple, you'd have brackets holding it up so not so sure it'd look purdy for shows. On the Carlsbad thing we did last March I met a guy that put a blower on his 04 mach1... the shaker was attached to the hood. Not the best solution but he found a way. whatever the scenario is I am sure it's all entirely doable.

only cheating if you get caught or is it your not trying if your not cheating

pre 73 truck would be cool

TacoBill

Dang Phil! He sat back and snipered that one in.

Leo, never too late to SC your car. In my 85 GT, I added nitrous at 60+k miles! These modular 4.6's should be good for 200k without any internal issues, so your 20k is nothing.
Do it.. do it.. do it!!!



Plan B could involve getting any of the top 3 blowers and swap in a Truefiber hood and call it a day!

NYNY53

So Tom what Super or Turbo are you thinking of migrating to? Or would like to migrate to? Can't remember what you said or if you said and I'm too lazy to try and go back and look it up.

NYNY53

I've been called much worse Leo

How many miles do you have on your Pony now? I might tend to agree with your thought process on you might have more or too many miles to add forced induction. But I've read that many put FI on vehicles with as many as 60K on the engine.

TacoBill

I have seen this approach before. I dunno if it'll work for my taste, but kudos to him for coming up with the idea.

As for shows, it's one of the reasons why I'm not too interested in getting a polished blower since the shaker shroud will be sitting on top of it.

However, if I ditch the shaker alltogether, I may have to go for the blingage.

NYNY53

I like that plan Billster, you need differentiate your GQ from the rest of the crowd

TacoBill

Hey lazy Phil.. missed my post from 5 minutes ago?

LEO_06GT

I've got 2100 miles on it now. In reality I probably wouldn't be able to get a S/C untill atleast next year. Which means I'd have around 36K assuming I put another 12K on the engine between now and then. Like I said FI is more a fantasy than a reality for me at this point. Good thing is I'm still young so I'm sure there will be a few more stangs in my future that I'll be able to S/C then.

(for the SoCal guys)
Track event coming up.. just throwing it out there. Sounds like fun, but not sure about me going.


Willowspings on Sat and Sun, February 9 & 10.

5 runs; each run is 8 laps - 1.8mi course
Helmet required


Leo, you may need to re-install your front swaybar for this event.

tom281

Now you're thinking ....... or get a used take-off hood for next to nothing and add something to it.

TacoBill

2100? Wow! That's less than me!

Leo, take your Prozac. If you want something, there's always a way. Just look at all the stuff you did last year.

LEO_06GT

Hmmm...auto x for some reason I prefer to go in a straight line as fast as I can. With that said if I did go I'd show all your front swaybar supporters that it's overrated.

Woops 21000. I know I've spent well over the price of a S/C by now but I just can't see myself a)having around 7K for a blower,gauges,intsall,etc. b)Putting myself 7K into debt c)As cool as it sounds can't justify in my head and to the wife spending so much on something that I'll rarely use to it's full potential. As it is now I don't get to fully enjoy the power I have that often or as often as I would like. d) I live in an apt right now and it doesn't seem smart to spend 7K on a blower setup when I don't even have a home/condo. I'm not trying to be anti-blower but for me personally that just wouldn't be a smart financial decision.

Sounds like a challenge!

You're such a party pooper Leo!

Socal guys. New cruise for March. I'm going and I'll bring the stang.

TacoBill

It's about time!

This cruise sounds like fun, especially the beer part.

And to boot, HB is local to me!

I have a friend who went to this place before, had lots of fun brewing his own beer. Can also bring any jpg picture to make your own custom beer bottle label. Only thing is that you have to return at a later date to pick up your brew.

TacoBill

Just completed and ready for your viewing pleasure.

They don't seem to match ?? Certainly a blower would allow you to manage going as fast as you can in a straight line.

As far as the debt and wife part..... if I had a wife I know I wouldn't be talking about 7-K for my car. Debt..... that's the rub. But hey once you convince yourself to spend that scratch it's all downhill from there.

habu

Signed up and read to go. Should have the latest mods in by then

I'll show you guys how to brew a really good beer.
I also have some excellent recipies from my brewing database and books when it gets closer I can share them if you want. With luck they'll let us do partial mashes and not pure extract.... Or even.... a Full Mash extract.. and if we're really really lucky a 2 or 3 step infusion mash extract...... yummy.
