How much boost from a turbo or s/c can a stock 99' v6 stang take and still be totaly worry free of problems?

Eric(Autobadges) said 10psi but I just wanted to ask to get some more input..thanks!

 

14psi with a good tune and proper injectors and SVT focus fuel pump and SCT big air MAF is fine

14psi?!?! Wow thats alot, this is without forged internals(but with the mods above)???

this guy has 17 psi through a internally stock motor

 

First off, i wouldn't run a car stock w/ forced induction....yes you can, but why??? If you do, maybe around 6 to 8psi, but like the other guy said, upgrade fuel and rear end, then you can push it up a bit more(10-12) or maybe higher...then again if its your daily driver, i wont be pushing the psi so high...MPG sucks[:@]

 

careful buddy. we don't like mis-information spread as fact. i get 24MPG highway with a 10psi vortech'd 04 GT. that's better than most 6ers get stock. also, with a turbo, if you're just "daily driving", odds are you aren't going to be anywhere near boost (2400-3000).

 

You can run 28psi on stock internals.
































For about 30 seconds.

 

WOW...didnt know that. 24mpg...damn, i was wrong then

 

Well it sounds to me like if I get a turbo or supercharger I dont need to spend the ungodly amount to get forged internals because 8-10psi would be plenty for me.

Also....I assume you can adjust how much boost/psi you want within seconds inside the car? Or am I wrong here?

 

boost is determined by the size of the pulley you have..smaller size is more boost..you don't turn a switch LOL
