haha yeah thats what i figured, so basically supercharging it is the best option. how much would it cost to replace the bottom end with forged internals, estimate

well i probably wouldnt supercharge it until at least next summer. basically i want to get some basic bolt on power thats noticeable if thats possible. like i said before i would like to be pushing like 350hp to the rear wheels. any suggestions?
You will never get 350rwhp with bolt-ons alone. The only way to achieve that is with a supercharger and unless you can do the motor work yourself, I'd say you're probably looking at about $6000 with the SC installation, head work, and forged internals.
I hope you mean $6000 in labor, even though you are looking more like 10+ grand for labor on a job like that.

So you mean your friend is going to be doing the work and your going to fetch the tools. I am sorry at this point this thread is pointless. Cant say I didnt try. But I did get a good laugh out of it so thanks.

How about a ford racing sticker thats at least 25rwhp if you deduct the drag coefficient.

with wanting 350hp to the rear and it is going to cost at least 10g i say either sell and by 2004 cobra thats pushing 390 hp and probably 340 to the rear. just a guess. or pull motor and by the cobra engine. either or going to cost big.

370rwhp is about max for a 2v. But hp numbers really don't mean much if you build your car correctly. I still have stock heads and cams and am still NA and I beat 03-04 cobras all day long. Just do your research. find out what gets you moving faster.
