Well iv been tossin around this idea of doing a custom twin ATI Procharger supercharged set-up on my 67 Mustang coupe with a 302. The car would have dual Dominator carbs atop of a custom low-rise manifold with Edelbrock or TFS heads ported and polished to maintain optimum flow. The block would of course be built up with fully forged internals, race bearings and gaskets, you know the whole nine-yards. Since the the engine would be droped and moved back i was thinking of puting the air-to-air intercoolers up front right under the hood where the turn signals would be. Id cut out the area on both sides of the radiator where the battery and some misc. electronic are and duct in the the intoercooler so that the air would flow in through the front grille through the coolers and out the formula type louvers in the hood. In additon to the boost id like to spray the engine or have a CO2 spray bar on the intercoolers or even both, but il probly just do the spray bar. My intended use for the car would be road racing because im not much a fan of circle track or drag racing, so id have an IRS upgrade in the rear and coil over front, plus serious weight reduction. To keep the car semi-streetable each charger would run 8-12psi for a total of 16-24psi, depending on my mood and how much i have to spend on gas that day. For tuning and safty purposes id of course have boost, AFR and barometric pressure gauges. So tell me what u think, whether it be additions to the idea, critiziations or compliments and even questions.

wow i have never heard or seen sumthing like that

what would be your reasoning for this?

it would deff. be unquie thow

 

well my reasoning....um...uh...iv never really thought about why...id say the challenge of the build, the wow effect on those damn little evo8&9s when i blow past em on the high-way, the wow effect on ppl at shows and at the track. The IRS in the back would make for a better weight ratio too along with all the sub frame work id do.

i would say build you motor twin turbo and crank your boost up to 25-30 psi

that should get you that wow factor and produce over 1000rwhp

 

The reason i dont go turbo is mostly because i dont want computers, and to do a good turbo system you need turbo timers and what not. As for 25-30psi its not outa my range with the ATI Prochargers the only thing id need to run that kind of boost is 100+ octane gasoline. After say 900hp road racing becomes...well drifting lol. But at the strip i would run... mby 7s or 8s with the 1000hp. What im after is a relativly controlable 600-700hp and by using two super chargers i can spread the load over the two and keep ware-and-tear to a relative minimum. Another reason i dont go turbo(i have nothing against turbos) is the heat involved, not only is the air charge warmer but due to where the turbos would sit and where i plan on havin my intercoolers, the heat from the turbo would cancel out the effect of the intercooler. Plus an old 67 just doesnt seem right with any type of turbo system unless its a full drag-race car even then it... just seems out-of-place.

you sayed twin supercharger, spray, and co2 i dont know that kind of block stengthning you would need but alot of it. and it seams like ulness your a millionaire this would be way... to expenseve. you have to factor in the fact that a car like that would always need work. i could see needing new bearings after every time to the track.

 

erronious, man o'war block, the boost effect would be no diffrent then any other forced induction, there would be no reason for pre-mature bearing failure if the engine is built to specs. ive seen twin and tri roots style blowers on hot rods, im sure theres a twin ATI setup already out there but not too many thats for sure i say if you got the time the money and the resources go for it

 

twin centri like your talking about would be utterly pointless.. less power, more complicated, less reliable, more expensive... there will be 0 gained by running two p1sc's... just run 1 F1R or F1A and be done with it... but for track use, you'll be better off turbo or positive displacement... but then I dont know what your goals or budget are, but I wouldnt use that chasis as my starting point for your use

 

You dont have to have a computer or a turbo timer for a turbo setup. You can run a blow through carb setup with that too. Not trying to dissuade you from your idea, I like it. Just dont like false info out there.

 

Well actually two cents putting out relativly low boost are going to be much more reliable than two turbos mainly due to the fact that cents dont have to endure the high temps a turbo has to. I have also just recently done a rough price check on my system including the whole drive line and engine, and iwas fairly, might i say, cheap....bout 25k not bad and i dont care bout ramen and being a cheap date( hell i dont care if i dont have a date...). But i did come along on problem while mocking up the set up, i dont have enought room w/o using a custom front frame. DAMN. Well if 50k falls into my lap il do it. But im just gona hafta dream bout it and settle with the ATI kit. I wont give up on the idea, im just gona do it to a differant car. Mabey a supra with a 3.8 v8 implant... kinda makes me wana vomit actually.
