I am doing my research now. Over this winter and next summer I plan to build me a forged motor, and then swap engines and install the blower.
My goals are at least 10 psi out of an intercooled vortech supercharger, with 400+rwhp.
Let me know what compression ratio and boost would be good for my setup, to run with pump gas. I don't want methanol injection or anything of that sort.
Who sells good internals? I found an ebay store that offers a mahle kit of a forged crank, rods and pistons with dishes for about 8.5:1 compression. This be a good plan? I am going to be ordering a brand new block from ford racing to be the core of my beast.
Again, not looking for an insane monster, just looking to make the car drastically quicker than stock.
What gauges are good with a blown setup? I have a two gauge pod now (came with the car) on the left, with a light show air/fuel gauge and a mechanical oil pressure gauge. I was thinking about getting a 3 pod pillar and adding boost over there, and then getting the replacement gauge cover that goes over the stock gauges that ads one more one each side, and getting oil temperature and something else.
Any input, let me know. I'm planning it all out now, and want all the info I can get. Thanks!!!
