eh, I have a Computer Consulting Business and a Marketing Business too. At least I worked for my money?

Hmm...consulting...what kind of consulting do you do? If you want to expand into LA, let me know....I do kind of the same here.

this is true. as long as you can afford to why not then. but in response, i'm a bigger fan of superchargers. i love the whine you get from them. i think overall, you get more power out of a turbo though and potentially better mileage if you can keep your foot off it during cruising times. first start out with the bottom end. you'll also need a new driveshaft i'm assuming. maybe look into the TR6060 6 speed tranny. i know on another mustang forum i'm on, one guy did the tranny swapy. i mean, if the corvette zr1 is gonna have a tr 6060 i'm pretty sure your HP numbers should be ok. then forge the internals to handle the power.

also consider new wheels and tires. i'm not sure the sze you have right now, but maybe some 275's to possibly 350s in the back to ensure the power is getting put to the ground.

that ... really looks attractive to me.

- I consult hardware, web design, software programming, er ... servers, server space, hosting ... eh, name it and I probably do it. I am expanding actually, more over to the East Side of good ol' Arkansas. But hey, if business is good over there ... I may catch a plane down, check out the area and see what I can get rolling. It it's worth it, that is.

**PureVenom** · **Re: I don't know what I want :[**

Yup, that's basically what I do...well, the programming side of it. Cajun does the hardware side of things, but no where near the extent that you are.

I have a couple projects in the pipeline through mikey poo right now that I hope don't fall through the cracks....they will be putting a new aluminum 318 shortblock in the car.

look into a centri like a Procharger or Vortech. They build boost with RPM. its a great middle ground between a Turbo and Twin-Screw.

However, if you have the knowledge and know-how, Turbo all the way. Properly sized you should experience very little lag and get the most efficiency out of a setup. Though anything you do post what, like 450whp, will require a built motor, so dont forget to factor that into the whole equation.

**PureVenom** · **Re: I don't know what I want :[**

Or, have the built motor ready to go in and see how long the stocker lasts. The white car here in town, and now his cousin's black 06 GT, both have the stock short blocks putting down 500's to the wheels and run 15 psi through saleen blowers.

In reality, their shit should have blown long ago...but for some reason, they just keep on cranking along. The white one should have really blown up a long time ago the way they drove it...but it never did.

thanks guys, i'm going to start on my suspension and build my way up. my goal is 600 or so ... so new engine, I know. But I like the advice to start on my suspension first. get the booger stuck to the ground.

By the way Venom, if you know anyone that makes web sites, I constantly am in need of outsourcing some work... whats the very first part i should start with? does it matter?

**05RedDevil** · **Re: I don't know what I want :[**

You don't even need a lift to check the LCA's. Look at the picture of my rear end with the wheel off. The front blue part is my Steeda LCA. If you have a big dull black one then it is the standard Ford LCA and needs to be replaced.
I forget where but I saw a BMR panhard relocation kit for $440 shipped (This includes a new rear axle housing with the pre-load bolts, adjustable panhard bar and panhard relocation bracket). An upper control arm could cost $150 -$225. Also, you could get them as adjustable or solid.

I currently have solid LCA's and Saleen suspension with 400rwhp and have no issues with launching. I will upgrade my chassis/suspension with those mods, UCA and relocators if (when) I decide to up my power again.

I could be unlazy and look for myself... these are all I would really need before I can move on to the next step?

I do happen to know one person...he's a total asshole, but...I do know someone.

You'll have a PM momentarily.

probably great tuners and they probably dont beat on their cars, and only go WOT when theres a need to. the motors probably wouldnt survive a long 4th/5th gear high speed jaunt, nor a few laps around Road America (then again, look at the 03/04, it needs additional cooling mods to survive those same conditions), but they probably dont flinch at a simple 1st/2ndblast or the occasional 3rd gear pull from deep down in the 2k range up to redline.

if you can keep knock/predetonation at bay, and your a/f mixture at a relatively rich area throughout (as to keep cylinder temps down, ie no melting pistons from running lean), the last piece of the puzzle that would harm a motor is the stresses of boost itself and compression; 15psi isnt a whole lot really.

**PureVenom** · **Re: I don't know what I want :[**

Well, the tune was right on, but the drivers were far from steller. They broke 6 saleen tensioner arms due to hitting the rev limiter all the time. They destroyed a spec twin disc clutch in their dads Ford GT...I mean it was in many pieces. They are horrible to that car....but the tune was on, so it didn't go pop.

Now, it is back to N/A because their dad got sick of buying tensioners every month or so.

I'll start there. :] Thanks guys, soo ...

Anyone wanna make a list of the order they would install the parts so I can ... copy?

**05RedDevil** · **Re: I don't know what I want :[**

Which work are you going to do yourself vs what are you having done? This is a big cost factor which changes plans a bit. . .
If you have a complete toolset and are mechanically inclined I would say do all suspension yourself, the super or turbo you can do yourself (if you have a good flash tune and then take it somewhere for a custom dyno tune). Upgrading the fuel system and cooling system can also be done fairly easily by the home mechanic. The only thing I would really think of off the top of my head that can't be done without extensive shop supplies is rebuilding the engine.
NOTE: I am an engineer so work based on your own ability.
Building the engine can be done through three routes as far as I am concerned but we will get to that after you buy and install your suspension.
