Looking for a little more power car has SCT tune, electric water pump, CAI, Ford racing cat backs, and short shifter. So what should be the next mod?

 

Cams+LT

 

Are you trying to keep it N/A? If so, what he said ^ Camshafts, Engine Port Cylinder Heads, Headers, etc.

 

It has the shacker hood so if i went to a s/c i would need a new hood and s/c too $. What about underdrive pulley set.

 

Sorry what is LT?

 

Supercharger...and i dont think you need a new hood for s/c. I see lots of stock hoods with s/c

If you dont get a blower, you'll only feel a slight bump in power. Nothing like "HOLY **** SLOW DOWN" like you do with forced induction... (400-500hp). Guys with full bolts ons...cams...headers...CAI...tune..etc. They max out around 330-340 whp i believe (whp = hp to the WHEELS)

edit: LT = longtube headers

oh and not even sure if you have a v6 or v8

 

Shaker Hood you will need a new one yes. Because the Shaker sits right on the engine and takes the spot a Blower would. Plus you'd have a giant box hole in your hood. Its a good reason to go with a Blower and Cowl or some other cool hood of the sort. I have the stock hood with the Roush hood scoop and it just fits.

Blower and Stock hood (My Car):

 

^yeah well it depends what kind of blower you have i guess... centrifugal = less heat, more top end power, less low end.... and no aftermarket hood required. Full boost around 3500rpm

Roots or whipple = more heat, full boost around 2000 rpm, easier install.

My 'centrifugal' Paxton blower (i suggest youtubing superchargers so ur not in la la land). The best thing about mine is I can swap the pulley (if I want more than 10 psi or 450whp), and go up to around 800-900 hp. Has an intercooler

 

Not going to s/c yet.

 

If you're looking for faster times, grab 3.7s or 4.10s, long tube headers, and cams. Also some rear suspension goodies to put that power to the pavement (lcas, sway bars, etc)
