Official plans for my 97 GT

[Lightning Struck]

if you had to guess...how much rwhp do you think ill be at with this setup:

Full bolt on 97 GT auto

PI intake manifold

Mongoose kit SQ trim

boost pipe

smaller pulley

paxton a/a intercooler

blower cams

dyno tune

???

Well scarface has around 380 on his novi blower and I think he has cams with his set-up, you have a automatic so its going to hurt you some. Let me tell you this, my 98GT had full boltons ( Longtubes , hpipe, flowmasters / BBK coldair, 80massair, 70Tb, C&L upper elbow/ Pulleys / Dyno tune with Diablo software on the dyno ) I got the PI intake swap kit from Livernois motorsports and with my aode and 4:10 rear it made 238rwhp after the tune. So if you take that and figure in whatever % gain for the forced induction lets say you get a rwhp gain of 50% that would put you at 119 additional rwhp with the Vortech so you would be in the neighborhood of 357rwhp. I think what my car did is very close to what yours would do n/a so depending on what pulley you run on your blower will be the bottom line in what your final numbers are. Are you running 8 pounds of boost?

Yea I put quite a bit of cash in it :-\ and yes it only did 238rwhp but it was A AUTOMATIC. So if it had been a manual I would have been around 250rwhp or so. Anyway the stock non PI heads and cams were restricting all that extra air flow I had gained by adding all those parts. My original plan was to add a blower on,..........but I got side tracked with a complete motor that wound up at my speed shop. It had forged pistons, rods, 278 extreme energy comp cams, stage 2 PI heads and 30lb injectors. I had bought the package and it was in mid installation when I got a offer on the car/motor and all ;D ;D. Needless to say I sold it and got the Cobra I'm in now :khobra: :khobra:

I'm planning on running no more than 10lbs

keep in mind im going to i/c it with some custom grind blower cams too

It doesn't matter wether you have a 4v or 2v. Both motors require alot of money to mod. Cams for a 2v you can get pretty cheap compaired to at least spending 1000 bucks on cams for a 4v not to mention the install is not easy. So either way your screwed.

it does require a lot to mod them.......but a 4 valve will yeild larger hp returns for those mods 8)

that 4 wives thing sounds interesting

Both motors acheive good numbers and respond well to mod's such and h/c/i. Point being that like I said don't matter if you have a 4v or 2v. Both motors will make you become broke. Good luck with your blower and p.i .intake. Im sure you will have alot of fun with it.

 

[scarface]

HAHA^^^^^ correction 2 houses, 4 cars, 4 kids, and ONE wife!

I wanted to get a mach last summer...... but I found my 98 for CHEAP :dancing6: no car payments means you can put more money into your mods. It would be awesome to have a 96-98 that could beat a cobra.

Try to save up alittle more money to drop cams in it along with your supercharger. I hear that the NPI Crower Blower cams are great. That way you can rev it up longer and expand your power band. Blowers love wider power bands. Just a thought.

 

[97stanger]

haha man do we think alike...already going to do that

first im going to just install the SQ trim with boost pipe and mini race

then im going to save up for a Paxton a/a intercooler, some blower cams, and drop the pulley a size or 2 because i should lose some lbs cuz of this!!!
