S/C or GoGo

[Ryan]

Over the super long run, Booyah is right, it would be nice to have a S/C there all the time, but IMO the spray is where its at in. And since I don't race much.

And in the Contour world IMO, the sprayed cars are going to be faster.....cuz we need all the torque we can get!!

Cheaper huh, add up how much it takes to fill the tank each time over say a two year period with the same driving habits.

build the strongest n/a motor you can then spray it
in the summer all the spray cars run better anyway cause of the cooler intake charge
i had my s/c 5.0 on the track last summer with the race gas and while pulling in 3rd it was starting to ping bad
track temp was 104
needless to say my day was over by noon

thats what I had planned on doing, but my parts totals (that i figured) was up around 6500. mind you this was custom forged internals AND tranny parts as well, so i'm going a different direction. I won't say what yet as it may change.

yea that is a little rich, well heres an idea put it back to stock and trade it in for an L

 

[Ryan]

actually before it went, i was looking hard for a 00/01 Black Lightning, then it went south. Which I'm actually glad it did. I really didn't want the extra 1-200 a month in payments plus insurance rates to go up. It won't be as fast, but IMO it should be more all around fun.......and most people have forgotten about the CSVT.

very good point extra cash in the pocket is a plus
and the car is still a bada$$ car

I just got my vortech up and running and I'm going to tell you that it is very nice. Why do you want all that torque when traction is a problem as it is? The car is only at low rpms for a brief period of time, then the boost is all that matters.

Not saying the vortech is better than n2o, but I feel it shouldn't be totally dismissed.

 

[NeedaCobra]

NOS doesn't give you nice, formadable whine under the hood.

 

[95Mike]

Amen to that. I would probably pay a few hundred dollars just to have the whine. Every time I'm next to a barrier or something I have to roll the window down so I can hear it.

 

[Vanride69]

I say build the motor to handle lotsa boost and run strong as is.....then blow it, spray it, and hope it holds as you break into the 10's......LOL good luck!!

 

[04Mystic]

I say *** s/c's and nitrous and build a TURBO :beer:

EDIT: remember turbo's are the one true Replacement for Displacement ;-)

 

[Peter]

It's a personnel thing I love my Vortech, but I
had NOS on my 86 Mustang GT and that was
great- maybe get both! Naaahhhhhh..

Pete:burnout:

 

[Ryan]

actually, it looks like one the CSVT turbo is the way too to go. But, too much $$$$ for me. One guy with the 3.0L and 6.5lbs pushed over 300fwhp (at least thats what I say on CEG the other day.)

There's no doubt abot the torque benefit from the
spray, my friend put a 75 dry NOS kit on a 03 Taurus
with the 3.0 Duratec -stock 200hp,200tq with
spray(75 shot) 270hp 308tq -not bad!

Pete:thumbsup:

 

[BlueThunder4UrAz]

i think you need to boost and spray....nothing like the intercooling effect of a 30-50 shot! 50 gives you 100 and you'll use less nos (less $$$)and the blower is there EVERYTIME you punch it...no waiting for bottle refills or bottle warm up's or having to turn valve on while your driving down the highway and a chump gets up next to you(unless you get a remote valve)....
