Anyone else getting stage 4 porting job done?

[Tman]

Sometime in the middle of February once I get the clutch, flywheel and 26 spine shaft done Im thinking of getting the Steg stage 4 done. It should be fun hooking on the streets with street tires and 4.10s on,hehe!
The thing Im debating is-for an extra couple of grand I can get a brand new whipple! I dont race at the track that much either but I do like to stomp on it once a while. What would you do? :beer:

op:

I'm weighing this as well. Seems the steig 4 requires most of the same supporting mods. Also, how long will it be before I tell myself I need more power. Like that has ever happened

 

[Tman]

I remember when I got the car first I was just gonna lower it and THATS IT,hehe! Once I got the cai it was over and modding began. I sure like the whipple though, do you race a lot? :thumbsup:

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

No, not much. just the occasional Friday night Test & Tune. Love a good 2nd gear pull onto the highway though.

KB or Whipple! I just sold my ported eaton to buy another KB. The ported blower didn't even touch my car. :dw:

 

[Tman]

Damn! How long ago did you sell the eaton?

 

[Tman]

Just an update, an opportunity to buy a KB if the buyer backs out. I will know by the end of next week, its the 17 psi polished version.
Will let you guys know later! :thumbsup:

I'll be getting my brand new W140AX whipple for 2900 soon.....I hope. If I were you I'd skip the stage four, save money, and look into a whipple. PM FORDSVTPARTS, I talked to Steve, they've got the best prices around.......under 3k :beer:

I've got the same dillema right now. Save the extra money and go with ported stage 4, or go ahead and get a Whipple. I read a thread a while back and everyone that had a port and went with a KB or Whipple wished that they bypassed the port and went straight to buying the new supercharger.........Decisions....decisions!

 

[Tman]

In the long ran it would save as cash for sure, the thing that makes it a bit easier for me is that Im keeping the car for at least another 2-3 years no matter how good the new cobra will be so I can fully enjoy what ever the potential of the car would be without jumping into a new one. I wanna see some 10s slips in the vert,hehe. Also I dont want to put any nos, even a small shot in it.
The kb unit would be around 2800 if the guy backs out so will see. If he does then 2900 for the new whipple sounds awesome!! :thumbsup:

I am thinking about it, but not sure if I will have funds this spring. One year left at University and then I can start spending and having fun. I will probably do a Ported eaton instead of a twin screw because I really wanna do a turbo kit. Not sure on single or twin yet, but I think for only having access to 91 octane that turbos are the way to go to run around with 700+rwhp on pump and that is what I want.

 

[Tman]

Turbos-mmmmmmmm!! I thought about a single as well but kb will run me a bit less since I already spended too much on the car as is,hehe. One of the guys that I know is trying to do a custom one himself so that will be interesting. :thumbsup:

 

[04torchred]

Yeah, if you can get a KB don't even waste the money on a Stage IV port. Just spin it up around 17psi. I will get a turbo kit, just wanna do some research and wait for numbers/funds. I wanna do a stroker shortblock at the same time so it is probably a couple years out still. Should be fun when it is done.

While I am saving money I think a ported eaton with spray will hold me over!

Mmmm Turbo. I want a Hellion kit very badly but think i'll just throw a 2.93 pulley on for now and be happy for a bit. Save cash and decide what I really want for the car. I dont want to build it a bunch of times. Just once and the way I want.

Ain't that the truth. A lot of people toss away money on stuff they really don't want or need for future plans. I agree my car is just getting a pulley in the spring and a catless prochamber.

Ya I picked up a 2.93 pulley and a belt for a good price. I'll just throw it on this spring along with the heat exchanger I picked up, get a quick tune with my predator and smile away.
I got a guy sending me up a set of 18x9 and 18x10.5 AFS wheels so they should look good. I dont think there are too many guys north of the border with these and I sold my stock rims so it all works out. Just a little extra for the upgrade.

 

[Tman]

Im with you on that one guys, thats why I know whatever decision I will make I will be stuck with it since money doesnt come easy these days,hehe. Have to think of other bills before modding especially that it isnt the only car I owe.
I will know by tonight whether the buyer backed out or not and if he did Im getting the kb if not then off it goes for a porting job,hehe.
Let me know how the catless prochamber works for ya! :beer:

 

[04torchred]

Yeah I would love to have 18's for sure especially the 10.5" rear. Ah well there is always next year, pulley and midpipe should be fun for a while.

TMAN - I will let you know how the prochamber is. Try and grab some video clips.

I know of a Apten ported blower for sale in Edmonton that made 500wrhp with a 2.8 pulley that is for sale. I can check how much they want i you would like.

Cool, that would be great! Thanks for the heads up!! :thumbsup:
