Hey guys. I'm going to get a Vortech S-1 This summer once I have the money, but is there any other mods that need to be done to the car? Mines an 02GT and all I have done right now is a Cat-Back system. I plan on going with gears and more bolt ons after I get the SC unless its absolutely needed before hand..

Thanks!

 

JUST STAY IN THE 8 PSI RANGE AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE. I'M RUNNING 10 PSI WITH SOME BOLT ONS, I DON'T RACE MY CAR ON THE WEEKENDS BUT I DO LIKE TO GET ON IT ONCE IN A WHILE. I BURN A QT. OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES @ 60.000 MILE ON THE CLOCK. THIS SUMMER I PLAN ON BUYING A RACE BLOCK AND A UPGRADE ON THE BLOWER, MAYBE 15 TO 20 PSI , SO I NEED FORGED INTERNALS.

 

Don't forget the Fuel upgrades. If you are just going with 8psi you should only need an SVT Focus pump. This is all I plan on with my 02 GT. I to only have a cat-back and next mod will either be 4.10's or I'll just save up for the supercharger setup.

 

You will also need to change out your stock injectors and recommend 42 lbs injectors and definitely get gears 4.10s and a short throw shifter.

 

i would do research on gears. you dont NEED them or the Short throw shifter(STS) but they would help a lot.

I've grinded the gears once or twice when i get on it with the stock shifter. As for Gears, many suggest only 3.73's if you are going F/I. Unless you have an Auto than some say 4.10's.

if i could id go with 4.56's on my 5spd just because it sounds more beastly =P especially if/when I go F/I
