Does anyone know if Whipple has a 3.50" or larger 10 rib pulley? If that is an option I perfer keeping the 10 rib setup.

 

They have them for the 2.9 and 3.4 kits, not sure if that would work with the 2.3. I'd give the guys at Lethal Performance a call.

 

Thanks will do that this morning.

 

congrats soblessed 2000, you will love the car after it's all
said and done. i'd keep the 10rib setup, if you can change
the lower (and upper if needed) to achieve your desired
psi. keep the updates coming!

 

Talk about good customer service, I called the person that sold me the kit. He added the GT500 fuel pump, lower boost pulley, installation, full custom tune/dyno/mapping and I will be complete for less then 6k. All I have to do is drive the car to MS and spend the weekend at the casino.

 

Any suggestion on a gauge kit?

 

It's an old thread but here goes.

No more updates? The 475 hp supercharger kit listed in the Ford Racing Catalog is on my wish list. My '05 has slightly under 15k miles at the moment.

Questions:

Will the stock auto trans handle the extra power? If not, should I have it built or buy one already built from someone like B&M?

Will the rear end stand up? I don't plan on racing the car, just build the car Ford should have built in the first place.

Love the way the car looks stock; don't want to change a thing appearance wise.

Any and all advice appreciated.

 

I ran the Whipple HO kit with intercooler (which is for sale by the way) on the stock block and drivetrain at 467 RWEHP (about 550 crank), no problems. When I added a few mods and upped the power to 502RWHP, I had the t-56 MagnumXL and mcleod RXT clutch, so can't really comment on those, although I would think that the clutch is probably a good item to upgrade when going above 450. The rear end is rock solid, I'm still on the stock rear end in the current setup, although I do have the gt500 finned cover on it now (was running the ford racing axle girder before). I can't comment on the auto transmission, mine was a manual.
