well given your car and how you like to dragg, cant the right juice setup be just as good and alot less expensive?
I would have to run a 300 shot to be close to those #'s. The 700+rwhp would be at only 15psi. 15 psi would pretty much the limit because of my compression.

Is the $5 a gallon increase that big of a deal for you? Not to be a dick but you do have like 5 cars and all of them pretty much kick ***. Why not go for it?
No matter how you look at it...$7.25 a gallon is high.

What about a pulley so you can run 93? Is that a possibility?

Do it if you want to man. You have the 92 coupe to drive on nice days.

The bucket, as it sits, gives all hope to us 2v's that we dont need FI to go fast. You will have a blast either way.

ANYTHING that will have to come off the bucket in return for a stronger parts, I want. I call dibs. Especially on anything suspension related

You should keep the Bucket as-is and S/C the Fox. Honestly it would be downright nasty but you wouldn't be able to drive it. Cars are meant to be driven....100 octane is $5 around here The last thing you want the Bucket to become is an all-out trailer queen. Also every 4.6 you see that is fast is all forged internals and blower/turbo. You are a bit unique

Plus the N/A 2V 4.6 is your "claim to fame" around here. You give people some hope[&:]

I wouldn't do it, I think the fact that your car runs on normal gas right now and runs as good as it does is what makes it so good. I think if you do supercharge it, dont do it so crazy that you cant run normal gas. IMO, if you're gonna run a ton of boost and make it unstreatable you might as well lower your compression and go up to the mid 20psi range.

With the coin your talking about, why not go ahead and pull the motor apart one last time and swap out for some lower compression pistons?

You would have to run more boost, but could get away with a 93 tune then, and still make a ton of power.
