it would work with LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of modifications before. About 2 people I know have done this and it takes extensive mods that really doesn't make it worth it in the long run for like 40hp lol.


NewMEX: You do NOT even have a blower or power adder of ANY sort and it took you THREE (3) tunes via mail order to get your car running right...imagine when the complexity of having to adjust the air/fuel levels perfectly for a tune comes into play!

a guy on this forum, DVS (doesn't come around much anymore), used a predator tuner when he got his vortech installed. his car would stall out and run really rough. he went and got a real dyno tune and he never had a problem (dunno about now since he's never here now).

Autobadges is very very wrong.

I run a M90 on my 96 stang, yes the work is a total PITA but adds upwards of 100 HP in STOCK trim and put me at 340 RWTQ in STOCK trim.

However the supercoupe intake does not bolt to 99+ heads. So I would not even consider for that reason.


Original poster:
I recommend Andy Littleton, hes pretty damn expensive but fabs some KILLER turbo setups. Why go SC when you can go Turbo for about the same cost?

You'll probably make the same power from 4 psi and no fuel upgrades as you would running a non intercooled SC. One guy hit 275 HP with 4.4 psi from one of Andy's kits.

340 rwtq, not hp. i'm guessing if he says adds 100 wheel hp he's possibly around 250? thats an awful lot of torque for that much hp in my opinion, but it could happen i guess
