I got a 03 oxfard white cobra and ive been wondering what i need to do to get it to 600 hp or so, i bought a 2.3 whipple supercharger and a whipple crusher throttle body would that be enough? what fuel mods do i need in specific to help with my setup, im also running catbacks and a jlt cold air intake

Something as little as a boost a pump and some 60lb injectors to a return style system. Depending on your budget and how you want to do it.
Does your 2.3 have the crusher inlet on it? If not you cant run that t/b.
You dont need a crusher to get to 600. I did it with a stock ported t/b.

i dont think it has that inlet, ill most likely return it and get the the one for an after market throttle body, and would a kenne bell boost a pump and 60lb injectors work? or what else would i need, and okay if i dont use the throttle body the supercharger is capable of 25lb boost i believe soo all i would need is more fuel and change the pcm?

What inlet in on the whipple now? Whatever is there use that style throttle body. Not worth the $$$ upgrading a 2.3 to a crusher.
If you plan on going over 600 you will need bigger injectors (80s, id1000s ect...)
Personally I'd do it right the first time do a return style fuel system especially if you are going to go over 600.
25lbs is a lot of boost on a 2.3. Anything over 19 or so you are going to need e85 and a return style system.
There a bunch of easy proven combos out there, do yourself a favor and search around.

The stock 2.3L, 17/18psi, KB BAP, FRPP 80s, 110mm Throttle Body, and JLT CAI, good exhaust setup can get you there on 93 Octane.
A 2.3L at 25psi is not a good plan as it's past it's efficiency level and you will just be making heat.

well right now the car has the stock supercharger its just the whipple is coming in the mail aswell as the throttle body, soo do you recommend i get rid of the 2.3 whipple and change it for something else and keep the throttle body? as of right now the car has the jlt with a catback and tuned on 91 making around 426 wheel and 458 torque i think i have the dino numbers right where, soo what would you recommend me doing as of right now how my setup is and what you would change

the 2.3 isnt on the car yet yoy think i should perhaps return it and go another route? do i keep the throttle body though? lets say from scratch what parts exactly would you put to get around 550 or 600 im not going over 600 soo in between 550 and 600

on 91 octane you will be really close to the 600 mark. To stay with your budget. All you will "need" is BAP, MAF, bigger injectors. I bought my car with a 93 tune on it and lost around 20rwhp going to a 91 tune. But I am only running 17lbs of boost.

For 600 the 2.3L is perfect. From scratch I would do:
2.3L @ 17psi
SCT BA-2600
Accufab or LFP 110mm Throttle Body
JLT CAI
Mid pipe and catback of your choice
FRPP 80lb injectors
KB Boost a pimp
26spline input shaft and matching clutch/flywheel.
Tune.

oh okay and what injectors do you recommend and the MAF? soo do you think i should keep the 2.3 whipple or return it and get a different one or keep the one i have and have it ported, if i port it what are the perks of porting it?

My only advice is build for the future. If you're sure you're never going to want more than 600 I'd run 60lb injectors and Ford GT pumps. Skip the BAP. If you think E85 is in your future step up to a return system and at least 80lb injectors.

There are some basic IRS mods (bushings and brave) that are good go tos but no I am still on stock IRS way past 600.
okay cool thanks, the 80lb injectors are good enough for 700 hp? and also whats the max a 2.3 could make hypothetically speaking for the future if i decide to run more power

would this also work for 700hp? and i dont know if e85 is that common in where i live but does that drastically increase my hp? but you think i can pull off highest 700 with 80lb injectors boost a pump and a 2.3? or just shy of 700
