If have the choice of building your current mustang (My case is a 466hp KB 02 saleen with stock longblock) to roughly 650hp and be your only car (Other than family car)
OR
Buy a second mustang already making 631hp on 15psi on a dart block with a vortech and have 2 mustangs?
Localish speed...
I'm looking at building and forging my 02 2v that already has a KB 2.1 Mammoth. I'm looking at staying KB and making about 600 rwhp or changing to an On3 turbo and making 650-700Rwhp.
I've heard good things recently about the new kits so I'm torn between the two.
Im looking Inot buying a turbo 2v. I'm wondering what's more beneficial, the CAI he has now that mounts the filter in the fender well but has rough dryer looking hose to do so, or would it be better to simply mount a filter to the turbo?
Lil more heat or more turbulent air?
M 2.1 maxes out about 18,000RPM. According to my calculations if I go to a 10% over crank and a 2.9 upper then ill be making 17,400 RPM @ 7,000 engine RPM. I know this is under the max blower RPM but will this really be safe to run? Car isn't going to see WOT all the time but will have the...
Any guys with a built motor(mine is 2V) and ported heads/cams running a KB? Im about to start a build but im not sure where peak power will come in and with my blower I have to size my pulleys correctly for redline or ill be overspinning it. SO where does your peak HP come in on your setup?
Long story short, looking into forging my 2v and uppi g the boost with a better fuel system. Pland are goi g from 466hp to 580hp. How much of a difference will this make in performance and seat of pants feel?
i went from 300hp to 466 with the kb blower and made a HUGE difference but im not sure...
Im looking into getting a build/forged longblock and have been researching 3 different companies.
1.MMR looks to be around $7,800 with Trickflow heads, iron block, and upgraded oil pump
2.Cushman looks to be around $8,160 with ported PI heads and aluminum block
3.Modular head shop is around...
I am looking into building my currently KB 2.1 2v. I want to potentially swap the blower out with a turbo kit eventually but I may do the motor and inductions at different times SO
If I build the motor with turbo cams (So as not to swap cams twice) and keep the current blower now how will that...
I currently have a stock longblock 02 4.6 2v. My 2.1 has a mammoth inlet and makes 466rwhp on 14.7psi on a 9psi pulley. It shoul push 18psi at most and guessing 580ish rwhp on a built motor.
I fou d a deal on a 2.6 but im not sure how much more boost i can push on a 9.0-1 compression motor on...
I have a 02 Saleen 2v and am looking into buying a new forged longblock soon. I am looking into Cushman Motorsports, Modular Head Shop, and MMR. I have heard alot of bad rep about MMR but also alot of good, including a guy whose build im following.
I dont know much about Cushman or Modular but...
I was wondering how my kenne bell 2.1 with mammoth Intake would perform on a 5.4 lightining motor. For comparisons sake I make 466/472 with a bone stock 02 2v on 15psi. I'm just not sure how the extra dispacement would differ with the 2.1
Long story short, I ended up having to go with forged pistons that will be 10:1 compression with a stock 302 shortblock. Afr 185 heads, 274hr cam, performer rpm intake.
My question is how much boost could I safely run on pump gas?
I know 10:1 isn't ideal boost compression but its all I could...
Trying to figure out where ill stand when I'm finished with my build. Its a 95 auto GT.*It will be a stock shortblock with new bearings and rings, Mahle forged -6cc pistons (9.5-1 comp ratio) comp 274hr cam, AFR 185 cc heads, 1.6 roller rockers, Edelbrock RPM intake, 75mm throttle body, 75mm...

Im unsure what injectors, TB, and MAF to run on my car. Its about to be out back together and need those parts first.Its a 95 gt and The car will have a performer rpm intake, B cam w/ 1.7 rockers, ported gt40 heads, stock bottom end freshened up. Its an auto and will have atleast a 3000 stall...
ive read that they are better for auto cross/normal driving due to reasons like the sudden jolt launching hard off the line and quick rpm drops. But i want to hear from anyone who has one that does drag their car and launch hard. My car needs a clutch soon and im looking into this before i pull...
Getting things planned for a build. I will be using my current 2.1 kb with the new setup. Im torn between (money dictates what parts i can buy) getting a 5.3 big bore shortblock and using the stock heads/cams for awhile. Or getting a 03/04 cobra shortblock and can still afford heads/cams. Whats...
My kenne bell 2.1 is almost maxed out on boost so i was wanting info on how it would run if a 100 shot or so on nitrous was added to it. It currently makes 15psi with a mammoth intake. I wouldnt add the shot until i have a forged shortblock but a nitrous kit is alot cheaper than a whole new...
To make it short and sweet i have an 02 gt with a kenne bell 2.1 making 15psi with the mammoth intake and stock heads/cam/etc. Made 466/472. My question is if i did a big bore 5.3 what would the same pulley make with the increased displacementand what hp it might make with it?
Just weighing...
