I dont think there is a kit utilizing the stock throttle body location on the SN95s....unless you swap over to a foxbody style throttle body setup.........

I would rather install a meth/water injection kit instead......

^^^^^ oh of course it can be done on the 4.6 cars, without a doubt....

but I looked at his sig and its a 5L Sn95.....not much room in between the discharge and the throttle body.......

Well there you go! Convert to a Foxbody throttle body setup as I mentioned before and something can be done....
Now imagine if the elbow-throttle body setup was in place........

Looks good tho 94silverbullet!

Your gonna make more power with a meth kit compared to a Air to Air intercooler on a Vortech for a 94/95.

Reason being is if you wanna do a custom intercooler setup on a Vortech the air is gonna have to travel so far that by the time it gets all the way back to the TB it will not be as cool as you think.

The methanol is gonna be your best bet.

but isn't it a pain having to keep refilling? how often do you have to refill, and couldn't there be a problem if you run out?

depends on how often you drive the car and get into boost. if you dont drive it much or dont get into boost often , it lasts a long while...and its wayyy cheaper than nitrous fill ups....very inexpensive to fill up....

All you need to use is windshield wiper fluid made to with stand - 20 degrees.

That has enough methanol in it for the kit and it is what $2.00 for a gallon.

I myself think the Anderson Ford Motorsport is just as good as the snow and cost half the amount. Rick Anderson knows his shit. I never second guess him.

You can add it to your setup.

A buddy of mine has a R-302 block based 331 in his 94GT ragtop....with a Vortech S-trim, no intercooler tho.
Without the Snow kit....he made something like 575rwhp, then with the snow kit on he made 611 rwhp. On pump gas Sunoco 94.

So it does work!
Even on your intercooled setup, it will further benefit!

No, the R-302 block is that block from Ford Racing....used to be that A4 block, then it was called the R-302 , now they have that BOSS block....
