N/A or blown?

[scuzzdude2587]

new to the forum, thought i'd introduce myself....I'm jake

anyways, I was wondering what you guys think as far as going with FI or staying N/A? I like the idea of FI but it seems so damn expensive...not that N/A isn't. I was wondering what some of your thoughts as to the pros and cons of each are. I'm not looking for any crazy power, somewhere around 350-375 at the wheels would be nice.

thanks for any input

the easiest way to get the power you are looking for would be the blower. you can pick them up cheaper used but then you have to worry about it coming with all the parts you need for it to work.

problem with the blower is you would have to keep the boost low due to the stock internals/block. you might be able to make 350NA but i am not as framiliar with the 4.6 as the 5.0.

if u want that kinda power slap a vortech on there and call it a day...

u can usually find used kits for a great price on corral.net

i think 350 he should be ok...from what i read around 450 the rods and pistons start to crap out... the block and the crank wont break

96-98 teksid block > all

Uhh, cheaper way is a used nitrous kit.

 

[scuzzdude2587]

Yeah, but gasoline itslef is one too many power-makers that must be refilled...and nitrous ain't cheap, not to mention no where near as fun on a road course

350-375rwhp?

A used blower setup like a S-Trim Vortech, Paxton Novi 1000 or a ProCharger P1-SC would get you there EASILY with a measly 4-6psi. Its by far the easiest and least time consuming option other than nitrous.

Sounds good to me

A 4.30 gear will give you a nice kick in the ass. If you're just looking for the fun factor that might be the way to go. If you are looking for faster track times, a 31 spline 8.8 buildup and some slicks will probably do you better than a blower.
