The sn95 GTs are slow... with gears, I should be able to take an auto sn95 GT... but that is speculation/bench racing and I'm not gonna start anything with that statement.... lol

You must be referring to the supercoupe swap which is for single-port 3.8s. He would have to downgrade for the split-port to accommodate the m90. And only gain like 40rwhp. So that's a waste. People are doing the m112 blower on the splitports which is $2800, but you need a tune ($400) + hood & paint ($800) + gauges ($100) = $4100. It's highly advisable to upgrade the rear end and get a full exhaust before you do forced induction, so if you add that in there, it gets expensive really quick.
haha misunderstood you i was talking about the 4.6L $1,500 Vortech S/C Setup on a thread here. i agree with you tho sn95 gt's really didnt impress me at all. im sure you could with your mods take a stock auto one with gears. lol like i said nothing against v6's trust me i would love the challenge to make a v6 out run gt's and cobras i just lack the desire. so far the v6's
some members have here look nicely built, nothing ricey like some v6's and no one here claims false things like some v6 owners good crowd here

You sir have my respect. It's not so much to beat any specific car, just making the most of what you've got.

And breaking into the 12s with a bolt-on GT is VERY impressive.

well thank you it's not easy but not impossible, i see 12's once in awhile tho. im piecing together the 1,500 vortech set up and then i can call my car a legit 12 sec car, i usually run 13.2 to 13.4's and i agree with you 150% we all have mustangs it's just about making the best with what you have

What???

If I was in the market for a v8 for performance purposes, I would save/spend the extra $3-4000 or whatever to get a 4v or a el es juan.

lol, you can always tell the people who know what they're talking about... you can crunch the numbers on whatever mods you want.. but once you start doing it, and realize you've overlooked 5qt of oil.. and while im at it ill replace the tranny fluid.. and damn, i have to get my camshaft bearings replaced.. while im at it i should get a set of nice spark plugs.. head studs.. gaskets throughout.. and while im this far i should throw on some LTs..

your $2500 project can turn into 4k pretty quick...
