What is the next step? in the performance ladder.
I won't list my mods, you can see them in the signature. What should be my next step? I really cannot see a supercharger in my future in even a years time.
My question is this my only step? To jump from nothing to S/C?
My ideas are:
Cam
Cam/Heads
Custom tune
NOS
and how much gain can I have? I estimate I should be around 365hp or 310 rwhp. Is the 4.6 capable of making 400 fwhp with bolt ons and naturally aspirated?
OR should I say what the He!! and throw some wet nitrous shot at WOT? for about 75 hp?
I am not really chasing the HP monkey, but I have tried to spend the money I have wisely. The 4.10's I installed, should give me a 1/2 sec faster ET over a set of 3.55's in the quarter. Most magazines have shown (MMFF last month) showed that my car is capable of mid to hi 12 second times (driver allowing).
That is a huge step over the muscle cars of back in the day. But can a N/A car compete with the 03/04 cobra's and the GT500. Articles I have read says the pistons and connecting rods are only good for 450 hp max.
You opinions?
