JUST GOT AN UPDATE FROM BRENT!!
Car is pretty much done....... I asked for 450/450....... dyno numbers as we sit are 448/445!
He said the new setup makes more power than the Vortech system up to 6000 rpm but then the Vortech made 19 more hp at 6500 rpm. BUT, at 3500 rpm the new setup makes over 100 more lb/ft of torque than the Vortech system!
More details to come tomorrow.......

*sign* when I first started modding it was only supposed to be rims and lowered... So I only have 8.5" all 4 corners... Next year when i'll be up for new rubber I'll need to prolly order the staggered version of my rims. 10" style.
I never woulda thought I'd be this deep into mods.

I'm glad you don't live in Cali that's more pressure for Forged Internals for me 
Hummmm F O R G E D!
Hommer I mean Jed!

0.5" shorter in width than the R-Forged, but it'll have to do.
Jed, Brian doesn't have 4.10's. He was the one inquiring about tire widths to run on a 9 inch rim.
I was meaning to comment on your new avatar, looks great!

The Series VI just pounced on my (upcoming) Vortech.
j/k man, my centri will provide me enough power to get me thrown in jail!Congrats on hitting your mark.. 448/445 is awesome!
Thank Brad for creating this money draining Forum.
I'm telling you, it's a drug.
It's the next evolution for your car.
Let me know if you need a ride back from either ST or GTR when you drop off the Roush for the heart transplant.

If only money grew on trees. Cant to see the dyno charts for that. BTW do you have your old dyno sheets from the vortech i/c'd system? Be curious to see them.
I see more mods in your future to handle the additional 100ft/lbs of torque
Coming Soon: Vortech V2 SQ S-Trim Supercharger
I dunno but that excites me, haha. Can't wait till I put mine on order in... ~8 days

The BFG's are my first choice. I think I turned Leo on to them.
The 18" CS69's only come in 9.5 inch. The 20's come in 10 inch, but I don't want to go there.
0.5" shorter in width than the R-Forged, but it'll have to do.

^Im not sure what that is, but it looks pretty good.
All this hp talk has got me thinking about what I want in mine more. I'm thinking internal swap, maybe up it to a 5.0, I wanna go for ~600hp. I dont suppose you could get 715lb-ft torque with only 600hp?

Bill just food for thought, doing the same size on all four corners makes really good sense..... every since my blower install, my rear tires seem to wear out faster than the fronts. I tell my wife that my rear end is out of alignment....... needs more suspension mods to get it back in line!
Congrats on the dyno numbers too Tom. Looks like you still have a little work to do though.

I can't imagine driving a 100% stock car anymore. I think I'd shoot myself.

Don't worry about being behind. You're not. The knowledge you'll gain from everyone on TMS and more importantly POTR will put you ahead of most people. Take your time, don't rush it or feel you need to be rushed. We all had to start with a blank slate just like you. Some of us have just had our cars longer that's all.
Just be prepared to spend more money than you've ever spent on a car... I have and I have a long way to go I think.....resistance is futile
