Put gt injectors and maf back on, a npi stock lock block with no power adder will never pull enough air to even come close to needing bigger injectors, roce is right they think bigger injectors add horsepower

Pissing that much money away that likely 60-75% of it will not be recouped....idk bro.

The most amount of power ive seen on a 2v with a KB was around 530 to the tire with trickflow heads. Just a shltload of money for 100 horsepower......

This car will never be sold. As far as the only 100 more horsepower goes....welllll lets do some math ya meatball. I dynoed at 378RWHP/402RWTQ before my O/R H pipe. So we'll add 10RWHP/10RWTQ to that and say i'm at 388RWHP/412RWTQ right now. All I have is the KB @ 9PSI and exhaust/air intake. Hell this is on the stock 65MM TB which is a huge restriction for a PD blower. And its safe to say its a conservative tune considering how many miles i've thrown at it.

So 530-388= 142RWHP gained. Who knows what else that setup you are talking about had. My heads will flow just as much or more than the trickflow heads out of the box after the port/polish. Those heads are overrated for the cost as it is.

Equivalent setups with Vortechs are throwing down 550RWHP all day long. TCstanger's setup is a 4.75L MMR block with Stage 3 MMR heads/cams, V2 S-Trim 14 PSI and full bolt ons 566RWHP. Only difference for me is going to be that i'll have a 4.6L(5.0 stroker is still a possibility), Stage 2 cams instead of 3 and stock exhaust manifolds. I've got more blower easily than the V2 especially in the torque department.

So I give up .15L of displacement, a little bit of duration and lift on my cam and no longtubes. I'll have more blower and most likely better heads as I'm going to let them do a full custom port for my setup. Considering all of this and the fact that i'm an auto I think i'll be right around that 560RWHP number and i'll definitely put down more torque.

All in all I think Stage III heads, Stage II cams, ~9.70:1 CR, 7 more lbs of boost, and 75 MM TB will be good for a lot more than 100RWHP and will sure as **** be good for much more torque. And i'll be adding a good shot of methanol on top of that. I'll be spraying pre-KB which will cool those hot intake charges down a lot and free up some timing. I have absolutely no doubts that i'll see more than 600RWTQ.

I don't care about cost to gain ratios. I love modular mustangs and I wouldn't want to mod anything other type of car/setup even if it made more power for the money. This is a DD anyways i'm not building a race car.

^But seriously, I gotta find that video on youtube. Its a red new edge from texas with a 2.1kb, trickflow lesbian heads, custom grind crower stage 3 blower cams, and a 14lb pulley (i think). I'll post the vid when I get to my comp. Badddddass car for sure - my point was, if you're going to sell it and get a Cobrah (like you've mentioned before) be smart about it. Why you mad brah
