Cant afford supercharger so going NA

Can't afford a supercharger so therefore im spending what I have been saving a ford racing cams, throttle body, and intake manifold. Along with a jlt 110m cold air intake what power will I be seeing? And I already have a tuner and AM free custom tunes

Are you kidding me? With cams, intake manifold, tv, and cold air intake I'll only be at 315rwhp?!? What the hell!! That's not worth 3 grand

You forgot the underdrive pulleys.

american muscle had a blowout sale on their polished vortech kits. they were going for $3,000 but they are all sold out.

seems like their regular going price is about $4,000. but i would imagine they would give a credit since you have your own tuner.

brenspeed's are about $3,900 for their complete kit, but i know they will give some credit since you already have your own tuner. i don't remember, but i think they knocked off about $200 when i bought my turbo.

just save for a supercharger, N/A will cost you way more and not make as much hp.

oh yeah, by brenspeed, i meant their vortech and paxton kits. the prices for the two are the same. i don't think you can go wrong with either. especially with brenspeed backing the kit up.

iirc, the base system blowers are pretty much the same for the two. i love the sound of the paxton. the paxton (and i am sure the vortech) sounds like a small jet turbine engine even when idling. intimidating sound.

my turbo is of course silent at idle or revving in neutral. i only hear it when i am building boost. good for stealth, but not as fun to listen to.

Has anyone bought this system? Will it hurt that's its non intercooled?

Personally i do not own a procharger. I would like too but i have other stuff that needs to be done before i can do that. I do know a couple people that have a procharger and it seems that you get tye best gain in hp from the procharger. Now if you wanted to stick with. Shelby theme i would go with an intake mounted supercharger.

I was just looking at the past Shelby where Paxton had a heritage with Shelby in the early years. In the end it just matters when I come up with the funds and which I buy first
