Hey I have been doing a lot of research but I'd better ask people that know. I have a 2000 GT with a forged bottom end, head work, and other bolt ons that I plan on supercharging. I am going with a V2 most likely but I have questions on the setup. Since I want to run higher boost like 12 psi, what do I need to do? I am probably going with a Kenne Bell boost a pump. Should I put 42 or 60 injectors in? I guess I can't do the standard send my computer to vortech because I am going with higher boost levels. Lastly, do I need to buy a flash tuner? Is there something simpler like someone on here burning a chip for me? Or do I definately need to go to a dyno. I realize I am newer on this forum but can you please give me some help. I have the part numbers of all the forged internals if you need that. Thanks

 

I just added some of the parts I have in my signature hope it helps

 

Fuel=Corba tank with twin fuel pumps, 42lb injectors.
Tune=Dyno tune is a must.
Maf=PRO-M
Intercooler or aftercooler


JE 194329 Forged Pistons are dished correct, so your comparsion ratio I am guessing is around 9 to 1. You should havea sweet setup when is all said and down. You should see somewhere in the 475rwhp range.

 

42#ers are fine for sure, and yes you need to get to a dyno, dont put it in boost until you have it tuned

 

42 lbs on the squirtes. dyno tune w/ airfuel is a must to keep it safe and get the best bang for your buck safely. Seeing you forged, you can push the engines limits alittle more, but still you need to get the airfuel tune right or all that money you spent will be for nothing.........

 

if youve already got a forged motor get 60# injectors for sure

 

475rwhp with stock cams? not likely. PI cams tend to fall on their face n/a @ 5700 and it definately shows even with the blower. We need those big lift cams to take advantage of any power in these cars, even with headwork at some point the amount of boost being pushed it will become inefficient proportionally to power output.

 

thanks a lot for the help everyone. I called one of the local mustang dyno shops and they use SCT. They said they charge $500 for a dyno tune. Is this too expensive?

Also, I may wait until the summer to put a supercharger in. Could I possibly put in the 60# injectors, cobra tank/pumps, and a 90mm MAF without a dyno tune? I just want to get this out of the way first. Also, can someone tell me where I can buy the cobra tank and pumps for a good price? Thanks

 

If they are including the cost of the Xcal3... no.

 

I don't know about 500 being too much for a tune without the handheld included.. The shop I went to in VA beach with my P1S/C-2 setup charged 175 / hr for the dyno rental and about 230-240ish for the tune, without the diablosport included.. Though I already had the handheld, they just tuned the chip and loaded the tunes for me. Ended costing a hair under 500 Diablosport not included, which was about 300-ish..

35thAnniGT, just a question broham, but if the stock non-PI cam's fall flat at 5700, what do you think the forged ones from an 03/04 Cobra will do, and what's the lift difference if you know brudda? Just curious as I'm running at about 448-ish to the rear wheel right now, and there's more left in it that I couldn't get because I still have the stock cast rods/hypereutectics.. (yeah, I know.. ssttooooppppiiiidddd.. LOL I've already got new forged I-beams ordered.. :-p )
