e-force supercharger question
- Thread starter 98dustingtp
- Start date
and thats what i was figuring, the e-force kit comes, intercooled the whole 9 yards, its a nice kit, he has the cervini c500 kit which comes with the magnaflow side exhaust, that is his only other mod. I have seen people do the 3.5 pulley, 60lb/hr injectors and the upgrade intake on a stock block and do high 400s whp. i dont know much about the stangs, and i figured i would ask around before i tell him to do one or the other.
I would stay away from headers for now until you get into really high horsepower applications. The headers, especially longtubes, will make it harder to build up boost. The stock manifolds are fine for a while with blown setups. I would look into upgrading the fuel system and adding more boost through a smaller pulley. Also look into doing some blower cams.
The OEM manifolds flow very well. Get an off road mid pipe, pulley down, and install a GT500 dual pump kit. Also, make sure he is running colder HTO plugs gapped down (.028 to .030). If the E-Force comes with 39 lb cobra injectors those are fine for about 475 to 500 whp. My car put down 474 and they were close to being maxed out.

they make you use the stock air intake box that you cut, but they give you a filter replacement the link above is the intake upgrade kit for the eforce which i was thinking of having him do along with the 60lb injectors and the smaller pulley

Just a quick google search shows people upgrading to a 90mm Lightning MAF, so that kit might actually help. It does seem overpriced as they say you can pick up the 90mm Lightning MAF for $80 and an upgraded filter will cost maybe $100 tops. Looks like it would be better to piece together that stuff on your own. Is your Dad happy with Dean's tune and/or advice? Maybe talk to Tim Barth over at Mr. Norm's Garage in Rockford, he can definitely steer you in the right direction. His tuning ability is amazing as well.
ya i went down to deans performance with the car actually and he tuned it with another guy cant remember his name. The car pulls great, doesnt fall on its face or anything it just keeps pulling. I was thinking the same as far as the price on that intake setup, when i think i could just get a filter and take the box out?? and maybe even stay with the 85mm throttle body.
3V's don't use Lightning MAF's. The "slot" MAF works well with a MAFia or you can upgrade to an SCT MAF for a little more

When I speak of the MAF, I am not talking about the throttle body. The throttle body should be fine, the stock MAF at a certain power level will no longer effectively measure the incoming air at higher RPM's. This wil give you some tuning issues as the MAF will only read so much air coming in and only supply enough fuel for that amount of air (which could be much less than what is actually coming in). An upgraded MAF will read the higher air volume and supply the appropriate amount of full, assuming your full setup is up to snuff, and you will make more boost/power.
That is my bad, my quick skimming gave me the incorrect information. Isn't the MAFia more of a band-aid type solution though?
I've been running a MAFia for 4 years. It works and will support more hp than the block will hold. When I supercharged my car the SCT MAF wasn't available.
I'd think so, but you'd need to log MAF counts to be sure. MAF size also plays a factor. From VMP Tuning:
Housing size vs power supported with no extender:
Tube Size Estimate HP range no extender
3" 250-300RWHP
3.5" 275-400RWHP
4" 350-500RWHP
4.5" 400-600RWHP
Or this is another option:
