RE: SSM heads
Yeah, but think of it like this! People are spending 5 Grand on a F/I kit to only get into 13's (accept rygens turbo car). If you could build your motor up and get in mid 13's then go F/I you could go with a VERY HIGH BOOST and run NOS, so then just think what you would be running hell I'm guessing in the 500 hp range! F/I only will never get to that. Plus bragging rights too everyone see's a v6 running 13's their first thought is wow it 's F/I big deal, but when you pop the hood and its all motor "nothing but ****s and giggles"

RE: SSM heads
Yes I have, but MRT's twin turbo stang is only one of its kind and they have hundreds of man hours in that car plus too, look at it like this it took them awhile to get that car where it could be a daily driver and also no one has came out with a TT setup. If they did it would cost you probably 10 grand are even more than that for only 325 rwhp (and by the way its 350 rwhp john aka scriming could back me up on this one) you could take 10 grand and be busting corvettes and vipers left and right with your v6 I know a guy that is on the other mustang forum (I believe is name is matthew john are somthing like that) and he has a 3.8 mustang and is getting about 525 rwhp so anything is possible with the right money, but in no way would i put 10,000 for 350rwhp hell you would be better off just putting that down and trade your v6 for a supercharged gt

RE: SSM heads
well ****, if you really wanted to, you could pop that quad cam navigator engine into your stang with a 9" rear too.. I'm just saying, in general, it's cheaper to run FI... i think a stroke and bore with an s/c would be pretty sweet, but as for high compression, weren't they having problems with blowing headgaskets because of our lovely "swiss cheese" design?

RE: SSM heads
I say another good setup would be do a bore and stroke with reworked heads, then loose some weight on the car and shoot it with 150 shot. Then you'll be in low 12's high 11's "just my thought". Also you would only be looking at spending about 55 hundred

RE: SSM heads
yeah... i dunno... i'm just not a fan of n2O.. it's kinda... i dunno... cheap (not to knock on anyone that's used it).. i'd rather see someone make the power by building up the block instead of hooking up a bunch of lines
NA or FI, it doesn't matter, as long as it gets the job done
