So I drop my car off tomorrow to throw it on the dyno to see what new numbers i make. I recently justinstalled a Livernois PI Intake Manifold. I am hoping for 350rwhp. My next performance mod will be a front mount intercooler along with a vortech mini race bypass valve, with a possible smaller pulley to up the boost a bit. Do you guys think this will max my stock shortblock out or will i have room to play with some blower cams?? No matter what, my last mod will be a convertor.

you should be fine at 350 unless the tune is off.

I 100% trust my tuner, the guy is a modular mustang maniac who really knows his stuff.

finally, i have been wanting to see what that nonpi car will put down with a pi intake(that is all u have for other mods too right)

or what are all the rest of ur mods

I'm running slp longtubes, slp off road x pipe. slp loudmouth, accufab 70mm throttle body/plenum, 4.10 gears, transgo shift kit, vortech sq trim running 10lbs, supporting blower mods...i think thats about it

O shat! You have a soundclip of your car?

I say damn close to 350!

Your cars an auto isnt it?

97stanger

yup, its just a NON PI auto at that

So do you guys think the intercooler/upped boost will reach my stock shortblock limits or will i have to tackle the cams to reach this??

And sorry, no video clips yet...dont worry i plan on making one once i get the car back...I'll keep ya updated!

You may need to put a differnt pulley on (or more likely just a boost cooler unless your intercooler really kills the boost) but I would not recommend going over 10 PSI on the stock shortblock.

Being you have NPI heads and cams, I would bet even with the i/c you would see great gains by getting a set of blower cams. You don't want to (IMO) exceed much more than 430-440 WHP on a accurate dynojet for saftey, but up to that point you should be fine.

Honestly, with your NPI stuff in there, I would go for the cam before the i/c. If you do the i/c later on and find that your making too much power with the entire combo you can always just dial out a little timing or make the a/f ratio richer (aka make it even safter). however, with the NPI heads I think you will be fine.

I would guess you can make 350+ with your setup now, espcially at 10 PSI with the PI intake.
