time to build her up?

[Gregor185]

Well guys ive been obviously tossing around the idea of selling my car and I just cant do it. For the most part the exterior is done but now im thinking about building the motor. I want to be able to take it out on the weekends so im not looking for absolute crazy hp but I wanna have fun. What do u guys think I should do? I have to say though ill be on a budget so ill be slowly piecing it together

HCI combo or just slap a vortech on there . If the motors still got life in it. Buy ur self a rotating assembly, then pick up a set of heads then call up Ed Curtis tell him ur combo and plans for the car and he can make you a custom cam shaft the price difference is minimal and the torque and power threw the rpm range will be smooth and solid. Or you can just buy a off the shelf TFS top end kit and slap on ur engine and I'm sure you'd me more then happy with it .

^ this... Glad to hear you're keeping it brother!!!

 

[Gregor185]

Yeah I figure I should just keep it. Thought about getting a 03/04 cobra block and build from there

 

[MustangChris]

do it! I thought you sold it along time ago. lol.

 

[Musturd]

Oh shit ur modular

 

[Gregor185]

I cant sell this thing to save my life haha. Yeah thats why im in the modular section lol

I'd just slap a blower on it greg. Bolt it on in a weekend get a tune and drive it.

 

[Gregor185]

Well I still have that slight tick and frank said anything over 7-8 psi ill need race gas

 

[97stanger]

depends which direction you want to go. Throw on a nice Vortech and intercooler and have some fun

 

[Gregor185]

I would if that tick wasn't there. blowing it up is a lil outta the question

 

[Musturd]

Throw exploder pi motor in it .

 

[97stanger]

do you want to go power adder? n/a build?

 

[ram360]

Well I still have that slight tick and frank said anything over 7-8 psi ill need race gas

even if you keep it on the safe side you could at least drive it and always start the new built motor on the side. Then when it's ready, swap them out and turn up the boost. That's what I'm doing with the cobra but I don't care if the old one blows. lol.

 

[Gregor185]

I plan on doing a power adder

 

[Gregor185]

On the hunt gor a blower...gonna piece it together

 

[97stanger]

centri? What are you interested in?

 

[Gregor185]

Thinkin vortech

 

[gate keeper]

If you're only going Vortech, no need to build your motor. Hell there is no reason to "build your motor" if you just want boost on a low PSI. You build your motor to push it to higher numbers.


Problem is you say you don't want "Crazy numbers"...these days 600-700 horsepower is becoming NORMAL for boosted cars, which means you need a built motor, and big boost.

 

[Gregor185]

Im thinking AROUND 500
