Oh,thanks for pointing that out.

 

FAST never said at what rpm that 40hp was at. it could be a 40hp gain at 3000 rpm which will do almost nothing for e.t. and speed. it may feel better on the street though. i need to see some unbiased dyno tests not by magazines that advertise for the products. somehow those magazine dyno #'s are always much better than everybody elses. the t/b is a good example.
you will need some aggresive cams and ported heads to get close to the 400rwhp mark not to mention all the other obvious bolt-ons; L/T headers, cai, UDP's, E-H2O pump, aluminum driveshaft and a really good tune.

 

It's amazing the lengths people will go to make N/A HP. Bolt a blower on and be done with it.

 

^^^

 

Some of us don't want a blower. If I wanted one I would have bought it already. This car will not get a s/c or t/c.

Now, 400??? That's a stretch. Good luck with that.

 

I said 400 crankshaft hp.No offense,but if you read some of my posts you would not mistake me saying that I want 400rwhp(but actually I want 340rwhp).I never said anything about me wanting 400rwhp.

 

BUT, more than likely once a s/c is added, there could be substantial gains to the engine breathing better, thus running a lower psi to achieve the same rwhp.
I would love to eventually get p&p heads, cams, etc.
Besides, my garage queen is my hobby car that I intend to do all of the above mentioned to minus the udp's.

 

Does anyone know of any hi-flow C.A.R.B legal Cats that fit onto the stock mid-pipe? The reason for this is because I have Flowmaster A/T's and I want to purchase Hooker Supercomp LT Headers to go with them. I know the headers need the hooker x-pipe to fit properly,but I have heard mostly negative reviews of Flowmasters with an x-pipe. So,my solution is to expand the forward pipes on the stock h-pipe to slip into the headers.Or is that problem solved by using o2 extensions? Also,the cats on the stock mid-pipe are restrictive,so without replacing the stock mid-pipe I want to just replace the stock cats with better flowing ones.

 

why not

 

Couple of reasons.
When, I first bought the car I said I wanted to keep it n/a. It would be my daily driver and I want to keep it as long as I can.
My wife drives the car, also.(probably the biggest reason) I don't want a car where something can happen. I don't believe she is as good a driver as most.
Last, since I had planned on keeping this car for a while, I told myself that the garage queen/weekend warrior would be my forced induction car. As soon as this car is paid off, there will be another mustang in my garage. I'd rather spend the 5-7 grand on my next car.

Unless something drastically changes my mind this is where I stand, personally.
It's basically something I don't want to do to this car.

 

That's how I was at first but now I want more and more power and I don't think all the little bolt on's will satisfy my craving for speed, I know where your comming though.

 

My hp goal is 340-350rwhp and mid-12 second 1/4 mile times which I know will be accomplished with my mod list.

 

How much is all that on your mod's list gonna cost

 

I don't know,I am estimating between $3,000 and $4,000.
