Default big(ger) guns

I dont really give updates on my car here, but I thought I would let people in on what is currently going on with my car. Right now she is in the shop finalizing the installation of:

Spearco Intercooler (http://turboneticsinc.com/products/i...&category_id=9)
Zabteck Throttle Body (http://www.zabteck.com/07tb.htm)
Vortech 12psi Pulley

I am hoping for 320s from my auto on the Mustang Dyno and 340s on the dyno jet. According to the math, I will be looking at around 400hp and 440tq at the crank.

It should all be tuned and done with on Monday next week, so I will post up pictures.

Have you upgraded your pistons or connecting rods, or your lower end?

No, it is all stock (the engine, that is). It seems like the cars can safely take 12psi. I am going to let the tuner decide though, if he says that I am pushing too hard, I will bump it down to 10psi, if he feels that the air-air system is good enough to support more, I may put a bit more the next time I go for a tune (wont be for a few months though). I am the first air-air Vortech so far it seems, so there is no clear limits set in stone.

I knew you were gonna get an intercooler sooner or later. . W/the 12psi pulley, throttle body,and intercooler I think you'll see around 350rwhp(dyno jet). Good Luck and if all this power isn't enough for you, go sign up for a job drag racing funny cars!
