Ok so, I bought a vortech t-trim and inter cooler (and power pipe) a while ago now, and have had it sitting in my room for about 3 months now. Anyways, I just got off the phone with the guy whos gonna tune my car and he basically said that a front mount inter cooler is **** and not to even really try to mess with it. Well, anyways, because I want only about 400 wrhp anyways, he said that I would be fine just simply buying the vortec air intake/discharge assembly, and doing it non-inter cooled. I could always down the road decide to forge my internals and then throw on the inter cooler and really crank up the boost.

Anyways, so here is the update:

I just finished buying:
-BBK 78mm Throttle Intake (96-04 GT)
-Auto Meter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite Boost/Vac Gauge - Mechanical
-Auto Meter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite Oil Pressure Gauge - Mechanical
-Mustang Dual Gauge Pillar Dark Charcoal (late 03-04 coupe)
-Vortech Air Intake Assembly for 1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT with 4.6L
-Vortech Discharge Assembly for 1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT with 4.6L (Satin)
-Vortech Oil Feed Assembly for 1996-2004 Ford Mustang with 4.6L & 1996-2001 Ford Mustang Cobra with 4.6L
-Vortech Oil Drain Assembly for 1996-2004 Ford Mustang with 4.6L & 1996-1998 Ford Mustang Cobra with 4.6L
-Vortech Mounting Bracket Assembly for 2000-2004 Ford Mustang GT with 4.6L

The only thing left I have to buy is a fuel pump. I am waiting on one to pop up on ebay or something. I will more then likely be buying one tonight, or as soon as I find one.

Just wanted to give you guys the update. I know its been a while. School has been kicking my *** (18 hours is no joke).

Anyways, looking to be throwing the S/C on in t-4 weeks.

PS

Anybody know the discount code for AM?

I think his name is AMnick or something like that for discount code. Congrats, so you are like 90% parts now? After spending all of that dough, and only needing the fuel filter, I would probably just settle and buy the best deal you can find at the moment. Fuel filters seem to be hard to find cheap lately for whatever reason.

ps. I don't know a lot about the T trim, but even if you can get your power levels where you want without a method of cooling, dont expect them to be real consistent as your IATs will most likely not be.

yeah if fuel pump is 10% worth of parts thats where I am at now.. if anybody see's one, send it my way!

There is no problem with getting it running with out a method for cooling.. it's just not my favorite idea. But it's your money, your car and your time. So more power to ya.

Sounds fun though!

lilcrate

Yeah probably more like 95%

I've never heard anyone say a front mount intercooler is no good

i think its more of a pain vs time thing. Im sure they are fine once set up right. And no question my tuner could make it work if I told him to. Well, everything on order... ill keep you guys posted with pics when parts arrive

Okay I understand now. You can always put it on later when you do big boost like you said in your first post. Good luck with your setup.
