Alright guys, Ive been lurking aroung these forums for awhile trying to get ideas of what to spend my money on, but i keep changing my mind. I have a 2002 GT 5 speed. My biggest thing is, i want to do something once and thats it. That is why im putting my mods on hold till i decide what kinda setup im goin with. I am confused as to either go with a blower or just stay N/A. Here are some things to consider in planning my build.
-I dont have tons of money.(no big blowers/fully forged/built trannys or rearends)
-It's not a daily driver, but i will go on a highway where i have to go about 75 at the most.
-Its just a street car. No plans of making it strip only.
-want to be able to keep up with a decently quick street car.
-has to be reliable.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!!!

Well honestly.... I kinda wish I would have gone Nitrous route..... Because its cheap in cost and big in power..... AND you can have a Bad A$$ N/A set up for the street, and some go go juice for the track!

throw on a vortech mongoose kit, get it dynotuned...you'll be at 400rwhp, beat most of the cars you race, lose to some...and be happy with that.

I think a blower would be your best bet. I got my mongoose kit for $3900 to my door and my car is plenty fast.

mustang430

is that all i would have to spend? 3900? or is there other little costs as well?

97stanger

other than throwing it on the dyno, nope...the kit includes everything you will need.

so $4500 at the most??? and thats it! im done!

97stanger

probably not even, unless your dynotuner chargers $600 for a dyno tune?? and also if you plan on installing yourself.

Not to steal the forum or anything, but he asked exactly what I wanted to know. So I thought I'd save a repeated question because everyone hates those right!BUT, If he or I were to go with the mongoose kit and also wanted a cam for the tough sounding idle and maybe heads, do you have to get ones that are specifically designed for supercharged motors or can I buy a cam and heads now, install them, and get the s/c later? I absolutely love the sound of a loping car and I thought about getting the cam now and getting the s/c later but I don't want to get a cam if it will not support the s/c later. Thanks! Good question! Mustang430

i honestly dont know if your stock shortblock will be able to handle a s/c setup, worked heads, and blower cams...
