It's just an estimate for now. I'm taking it to get tuned at Injected Engineering and they are telling me I should be fun runnington 20+ pounds on my set up. I just want to make the power but leave it running with l12-16 pounds.

heres a thought...unless i missed something your doing this with a supercharger? id sell the thing and buy a turbo or 2. Because adjustable boost is alot better for bragging lol. A pullie swap takes time. where you can get its called like eboost or somthing its a waste gate controler i beleive. then you run around at 12psi and when someone flames you or you get your *** kicked, you press a button a few times and BAM 20psi....thats what id like to do some day. Good for DD and then making it a track monster.

Yeah I do agree about the compression. But I have thought a lot about getting a turbo. I will have to look into it more, but I would also have to sell my supercharger. Its just that the novi2000 came with the car and all I ever here is about when it comes to mustangs is supercharger supercharger supercharger. Having a boost controller would be fun and help with selling the car.

it will also cost a lot more...so i guess from that perspective id just plop the sc on it. it will probebly cost twice as much to do it the other way, and you may not see a return to make up for it. But it would be a waste of money if you tuned it twice...once for 800 and again for 600ish, just so you can sell it and people know it has the potential. If you want to sell it sell it with 800hp....dont waste time detuning. let someone else waste there money doing that.

Yeah I understand that. I just want to drive it around for awhile with 600 and sell it with more. I probably will only tune it once but it's fun to think about
