So here is the skinny. its a 2000 gt with basani x pipe, flowmaster cat back, short throw, underdrive pullies, Diablo Sport tuner. Zoom stage 2 clutch. SO obviously im gonna get headers and CAI. I have an officer at my command who has a Vortech s trim with all the injectors and a FMS and throttle body and MAF for 1500. Will a stock 4.6 handle ANY boost for a long time? what other mods if any would be required???

Thanks Y'all.

it can handle boost but only till about 400 rwhp im runnin 9lbs on stock internals makin 350 no problem just make sure you get a good tune that is the make or brake

Well then would it be better to just run a little juice instead for a little street action and keep the boost off the engine??

Cornbread01

on that one its what you like.. with a vortech your not even in the boost till after 3k rpms im more of a s/c person so i would go with that but to each is own

yeah man i drive around and id say about 70% of the time im not even in boost. and when i do hit boost its like 2-3 psi. that is until you get on it. The car drives like stock until you want it too. For that price i would definately pick it up! how many miles on the blower?

hillbilly pony

Im not exactly sure about the miles im sure its a couple thou at most. he said he had it on for a short while and sold the car and knew he could get his money for it stand alone vs on the car. so i lucked up. but isnt boost all about the pully?? and will the diablo handle the tune? i have access to a chassis dyno also.

I have a 2000 GT with 92k miles and I'm running 8 lbs of boost with no problems. The tune is very important. I highly recommend a custom tune. The weakest part of the 4.6 is its connecting rods and pistons, that's why horsepower should be limited to around 400-420 rwhp.

+1, assuming that everything is there other than the tune you will need 1500 is a steal.

GET YOUR OWN TUNE though, don't trust his. It must be custom tuned for your car.

And a 2v will last a LONG time on boost so long as your not stupid and its tuned correctly.
