I think he's correct in that the intercoolerdoes a good job cooling the chargethrough a stock intake manifold. But this TFS intake runs incredibly hot, because of its thick aluminum design. I would be really surprized if thereisn't any gain with this intake.

 

Hey dude i have a 3.65 size pulley it is good to 10 psi if you want to trade? i got the belt also. Im looking for a 3.85 size pulley

 

you're right on the money. I was at 360 and 355 torque on mine. The 3.85 that procharger puts on their P-1SC is a 3.85" rated at 8 psi. but mine was also only putting out 6 or so psi.

I'm down to a 3.20" now and putting out 11-12 psi. Going for 3.0" with 8 rib setup next year, But again , all in all, that's right one. 120 extra horses is always fun to play with. As far as 400, o/r x ipe isn't going to give you much more than MAYBE 6-8 hp. The methanol I'm not even familair with, but I know people using it, so I can't comment on that.

 

If you want more powers change da pulley!

 

He needs to shoot the tuner/part installer or something, he should have picked up a TON of power, espcially on a 03/04 cobra. The headers on them don't do all that much, but the midpipe/catback/header combo should have picked up 25+ WHP.

On our 2v cars, headers make a huge difference. The junk stock style manifolds just arn't up to the task of a boosted setup.

Put it this way, the typical bone stock 2v should put down around 350 WHP at 8 PSI. With just a set of LTs/midpipe/catback you should be looking at 380+ WHP... pretty dammed good gains IMO.

It only gets more pronounced as you up the boost/power levels.

 

12hp is better than 0..That extra 12 will close the gap on 400.

 

Do a header and mid pipe swap and you should gain so good numbers. I know a while ago in MM&FF mag on the "project icebox" they did a patriot stage 2 head swap on a procharged 200 GT and got like 104 or 114 rwhp gain

 

I would do LT's + catted X pipe... If you dont feel like dealing with LT's... then just get a catted X-pipe, your stock midpipe is hurting you... The advantage of LT's is you may only gain a little over 10rwhp... but you also lose about a pound of boost in the process... because your manifolds are so restrictive... less restriction = less boost.


LT's FTW!

after that you will probably need a powerpipe... Not gonna garauntee 400rwhp... but you would be close... you will probably have to do a pulley swap + new tune to make that kind of power... (you will need a new tune after any of these mods)

I just ordered a 3.4 pulley prom procharger on thursday. The tech told me that it should bring me up to about 9 psi on my setup. I can't wait. The only reason I haven't swapped out the midpipe is cause I'm debating on LTs. If I ever move back to California or an Emissions controlled area, LTs aren't something I want to have to swap back.
