anyone see them put a vortec 8 psi supercharger on their stang gt??? it was pretty f*ckin cool. watched it twice this weekend. but 202 hp for a modified stang (before the supercharger) is pretty weak. what did those come with stock?? and only 280 something for a supercharged stang is pretty weak too. i cant believe that guy was happy with it. they should do that to a 87-93 stang and see the differance!!

Thats why if you own and 96 to 98 GT. You gotta do the PI Head Swap, Before you do anything. The stock heads are a total piece of s**t. Even if you port them they still suck. If you do the head swap, then the supercahrger. You'll be hanging with the 03 Cobras. But you'r motor lasting long is another story.</P>

I saw it. If they would get a dyno tune they would get more power out of that S/C.</P>


They were talking about an aftercooler....what for? They can't run any more boost on those stock heads and the aftercooler won't do anything for 8 psi unless they are running it WOT forever.<IMG onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley5.gif'" alt=Confused src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>

no it would do something. regardless how much boost hes running, a cooler air charge will result in more hp</P>
