Default Vortech V3 Si 1999 Gt.. 356 Hp 357 Ftlbs Torque. 10 psi

I am thinking of intercooling.. What kind of intercooler is best for a 1999 Gt.. How much more power will I be looking at when intercooled. I am looking for more low end grunt..

My Mods are

C&L Upper Intake Plenum
75 MM Tb
Anderson Power Pipe
Mac Prochamber
Flowmaster American thunder
3.73
Focus Pump
Kenne Bell Boostapump
Sct 90 Mass Air


How about an Aluminum Driveshaft is that worth the Money. How can I get to 400 Hp, and keep up with the Kenne Bells of the world.

You can buy intercoolers anywhere...even some good DIY ones out there. But cams would be good, plus it'd sound B.A.

422 rwhp here with stock PI heads and cams running 13psi through an air to air. Now granted I have a built block so I am a little safer than you'd be but it's do-able!
As for the alum. D/S, not needed

You picked the wrong blower if your looking for low end anything. The only cure for that is lower gears.

Go with 4.10 gears and innercooler should gain you another 40 rwhp but will require another tune as well.

What pulley size you running? Do you have long tubes?

I am trying to figure out my psi after my new build. MMR built motor with 9.5 to 1 compression ratio, stock PI heads, with new COMP springs/retainers, CMS 2.5 blower cams, stock mainfold, 75 MM TB, upper plentum, v2 sq H.O. aftercooled, with 3.12 pulley.

Prior to this new build, I had a 3.33" and was at 10-11 psi at high rpms. Reason I asked is because I am using Sniper and it asked what PSI - I thought 13 would be about right?
