I want to do a trickflow top end kit on my 95, and full bolt ons and whatever else I need. I've heard that I won't get 300rwhp with this kit and bolt ons. What custom h/c/i setup would be the best for 300 rwhp or more with this automatic 95 5.0? I mean the whole h/c/i and everything I'll need. Heads, cam, intake, roller rockers, lifters, pushrods, throttlebody, maf, injectors, tb adapter, shorty headers, and a dyno tune when its done. Would a Vortech like this one get me over 300 rwhp? http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustang-vortech-supercharger-9495v8.html

If the blower gets me over 300 rwhp with a dyno tune, I'd most likely do that. Headers will be done which ever route I go with, and if I do the blower can I run a gt40 intake and heads setup with a stock cam?

One of the best tried and true HCI combos that makes great power is Trickflow 170 heads, Holley systemax intake, TFS1 cam, and of course all supporting mods. That setup will probably make 310RWHP through the automatic.

The Vortech blower I posted should be good for over 300rwhp right? Says 319hp/370ft lbs of torque on AM, wonder if thats to the wheels or not

You can leave the motor alone and add the blower and Ittl make what you want. HCI and the blower, and you'll make enough to almost crack the block.... hehe

HCI and the blower and you'll have MORE than enough to crack the block. My vote is supercharge it and forget it. The AM numbers are on a bone stock car with a pretty low-ish amount of boost. Do the bolt ons, turn the boost up and throw a nice stall converter in and you'll have a solid 400whp to the ground which will feel like way more with a good converter and all that torque multiplication.

 

[the5.ohh]

Sounds good. It'll probably be easier to throw a blower on than rip the motor apart for the hci. I'll talk to my dad about it, he knows I have plans of doing something to the car. I'll definitely do a high stall torque converter, shorty headers, bigger throttlebody, maf, injectors and a dyno tune.

I made 409hp at the tires on 42# injectors, trex pump plus 255 in tank, Tfs track heat intake, 75mm tb, head studs, fel pro head gaskets, shorty headers and dr gas x pipe, drone-master ultra 40's, 3.73 gears and a ram hd clutch. Everything else was stock, like cam, lifterds, rockers, heads, bottom end (240k mi) etc.... I used. Vortech v1 s trim with a smaller pulley to make 13-14psi at the intake, shifting at 5600. Had a local guy in Denver burn the chip.


Soo.... Yes, you can make 300-400rwhp with a blower and stock heads.

Explorer motor and a supercharger!!!

300 rwh is verry doable with just a top end. A nice set of trick flow or afr heads , 1.6 rr , holly system max intake , I'd do a custom ground cam , push rods you will have to check on your own (call the company you get the heads from to find out) you will need no less than 24lb injectors and a 73mm (75mm is better) mass air and a good tune. A stock block will stand 500hp. You biggest issue is dentition witch a tune will take care of. That will leave you with a solid motor to grow on. The car will be a whole new animal. With in a year or two when you want to go faster you can throw a shot at it or a supercharger. If you think you may want to add a power adder sooner than later talk to a tuner prior to buying the mass air or injectors. They can write a program to control injectors and mass air that would outher wise be pointless over kill but it will lay the ground work for alot more growth.

 

[OnyxCobra]

if it's just one or the other I'd definitely suggest the blower.

 

[whiplash473]

A correct would put you much further along than 300hp..if its 300hp you're after then the TFS kit would get you very close (if not right there or just over)

The tfs top end kit will get you there . Most cars making under 300 is not because of the top end it's because of the tuner leaving bunch of power under the table . There's no reason why these cars aren't making 320rwhp . With the track heat kit I haven't seen a car make less then 300 rwhp locally with the tfs top end kit. Altitude fuel and timing play a lot into getting the number not mention a confident tuner. For the easy factor I'd just run a blower and be done until you get bored of the power

I've seen a couple of GT40 top end motors with a E303 make 290-299 without a tune. So if you want to make 300 on a budget, get on craigslist, find a GT40 top end. I bet $500 will find one. Another $100 for a used cam. Some gaskets, elbow grease, and off to the dyno. A step further with a mail order chip, larger MAF, and 24# injectors.

If you can find a used supercharger, that will easily put you there too. I bought one for my 86 for a grand, so they are out there.

Rich definitely knows about what the "factory" parts can make on power, since it's requirements in his racing class.

You can easily hit over 300 with tf1 kit. A local guy hit 335/350 with a bone stock motor and that kit just a few weeks ago.

However, as it's been mentioned, you can do the blower now, in the future do h/c/I which will actually end up lowering your psi, so there ends up being less "stress" on the motor, making more power at less pressure, because the higher numbers are exposing the inefficiencies that lie within your heads and intakes.
