[QUOTE="crazycarlo, post: 12640379, member: 33077"] Ill try to shed some of my light on this subject. However its very subjective and user oriented. I myself did not own both setups. However I have driven 2 similar boosted cars back to back. Car 1) My car. 1998 cobra stock longblock. Vortech S-trim. FMIC setup in blow through config and tuned. Making 433 at the rear wheels on 9-10lbs Car 2) Friends car. 2003 Mach 1, Eaton swap. Stock longblock. Car was seeing 10lbs and 460 RWHP (we attributed the HP to the compression and 98 cams) I drove both cars back to back. I loved my car and I loved the whistle and the blow off I got. Unlike some people I didnt need to spin it to redline to make full boost. In 1st and 2nd gear if I floored it the boost was instant. It was very tame around town and u didnt notice the blower unless u pressed the gas. However I did notice that when I added teh big intercooler the air passing over the A/C condensor must have been blocked. My A/C didnt get as cold as it did before with no other changes to the car except the FMIC. I drive my friends car and loved it mainly for the reasons other people love it. The power was instant. Could be good or bad I guess. Another reason I went with the eaton swap was that the parts were mass made by ford. So if I had a problem with one I knew I could order it from FORD. The only downside would be price. There are pros and cons to both setups. I changed mine from the vortech to the eaton for a few reason. 1) The A/C issue mentioned above. 2) It seems that built motor 03 cars bring slightly higher profit when they are resold as compared to standard s-trim cars. 3) The suprise factor. Now alot of Mustang guys might be able to tell with the hood closed whats underneath but most other car guys will just assume its another bolt on 98 cobra until they hear the eaton screaming. Here are some pics and mods for Both. Vortech S-Trim. 42lb Injectors, Bassani o/r X, Bassani catback, HPX Maf, RFL BOV. 10lbs. 433 Rwhp [ATTACH=full]1435762[/ATTACH][/IMG] New Setup. Eaton Swap. 01 cobra Heads, Ported Eaton, Throttle Body and plenum. 60lb injectors, 340 fuel pump. FRPP shorty Headers. Same Exhaust. SCT BA2400 MAF. Billetflow Idlers. Forged Shortblock.
