I have about 350rwhp with my current set-up. I want to make it about 450 or 500. What are my options? I was thinking a Vortech supercharger would bring 126hp+....

Unless there's some major info missing from your sig it doesn't sound like you have anywhere near that much power

Are you already supercharged and want to upgrade?

...I agree with ^^^^ ...But with a Vortech S-Trim & good tune you could be at 450-500hp!

That crate motor comes with new GT40 heads, forged pistons, b303 cam, rocker arms, etc..

Still......


Anyway, yeah do the vortech!

The crate motor I bought is rated at 340rwhp, as they used a cobra intake and shorty headers, and 65mm throttle body. I am still missing things from my sig tho, like a 75maf and 75mm throttle body, subframe connectors, and an auburn posi..

I guess my real question should have been: Will my motor be able to handle it? Because I feel like the bottom have would be in pain not too much farther down the road...

well first off, sounds like the crate engine is rated for BHP not RWHP, and even then is abit of a stretch, better H/C/I combos dont get that much

*regardless of what you think, this isn't a brag session, were not even in person.
*IF a stang puts out 340hp, and I add a 126hp+ supercharger, would the motor still be able to handle it?

it depends on what the shortblock was built for. All parts in an engine work together. What are the exact specs on this crate engine?

yea depending on what type of pistons you got will tell us pretty much right off the bat what u can handle. Dpending on that, a vortech will get you where you wanna be no doubt about it good luck
