    Power estimates on coming build

    I recently purchased an 03 termi engine complete. Came with a 2.75 pulley and a belt wrap pulley but otherwise stock. Plan is to tear it down, rebuild it with some upgrades and put it into my sons 03 GT auto.(auto is already built to take power but will have to upgrade to a multi clutch...

    Terminator engine swap into 03 GT

    I just purchased an 04 terminator complete engine (pan to blower, accessories, harnesses) that I'm going to rebuild and then swap into my sons 03 GT auto but have a few questions. Since his car is auto I'm going to have to use his engine/trans harness and PCM. I know I have to extend the coil...

    Supercharger options for 2V engines

    In 2 years I'm planning on supercharging my sons 03 GT Auto. I personally have an intercooled vortech on my 04 GT Auto but since he drives his on long trips quite a bit I want to keep the stock gearing in his rear. That has me leaning towards a positive displacement supercharger over a centri...

    Performance difference between ported PI and TFS?

    Debating between porting and rebuilding PI heads or getting TFS. Engine is 4.6 with a V3 Si blower intercooled. Just a fun street car. Are there enough benefits with a supercharger to justify the extra cost?

    Which cams for stock engine?

    I have to replace the timing chains and guides etc on my son's 03 GT auto due to chain rattle. Picked up the ford racing chain kit. That got me thinking that putting cams in would never be easier since I'll have it all apart. Which cams would be a good choice for a stock engine that has the...

    MT Drag Radials

    I'm contemplating getting MT SS drag radials for my 04 GT auto. Only putting down 370 rwhp at the moment but the 285/35ZR18 555 nittos I have on the rear spin like its their job. Was thinking about going with 315/35R17 MT's on different wheels to try to get traction. Does anyone on here run...

    Aftermarket Seats

    For a while now I've been wanting to upgrade the seats in my 04 GT. The factory seats are terrible imho. The car is a fun weekend and nice weather car, not a daily driver, but I would probably drive it more often if the seats were better. I think I've narrowed my search down to the Corbeau...

    Which FMIC is better than CX Racing?

    I currently have the CX Racing FMIC kit. Purchased it because it was cheap and I didn't like the idea of non intercooled boost. Car is an 04 GT with Vortech V3 Si with 3.33" pulley running 10-11 psi currently. Many bolt ons but engine itself (lower intake, cams, heads, short block)is stock. I...

    What compression ratio for boost?

    I started a long term project of building a forged block for my 04 GT 2V. Going to use a Teksid block. What compression ratio would be best for a street car running 10-14psi with a Vortech and a FMIC? Looking to make good power but not have to worry.

    Is belt slip due to psi alone?

    Currently my 04 GT is running the 3.33" 6 rib pulley with stock crank pulley on a Vortech V3 si. CX racing FMIC, PP, bolt ons and full exhaust on stock engine. No belt slip and getting 10-11psi at 6k rpm. I'm planning a forged lower, porting the heads and blower cams. This should cause a boost...

    Help me plan my engine build

    So in a year or so I'm planning to build, or have an engine built, or re-build this engine, for my 04 GT auto. It has a AA intercooled Vortech V3 Si on it only pushing 10-11psi. Makes 370 rwhp and 350 rwtq now.(safe tune) Might try to to get it to 14 psi with built engine but my power goal...

    Need opinions on my car

    Cross posting this since I'm not getting any responses in the supercharger section... So this fall I purchased a 04 Mustang GT auto with 88k miles. Came with a vortech, 3.55's and full exhaust. Made a few bolt on mods including an intercooler and when it was tuned it made 370 rwhp and 350 rwtq...

    Thoughts on my Mustang project?

    This fall I purchased an 04 Mustang GT auto with 88k mi. It came with a base Vortech V3 si, 3.55's and a full exhaust. To that I added a BAP, MAF, 3.33" pulley, CX racing intercooler, t-body, upper plenum and Anderson PP. Had it tuned (very safe street tune) on 93 octane and it put down 370 rwhp...
