Stock bottom end: yes

Head unit: v2 SC

Pulley size and boost level: 3.33 6 rib and 9.5lbs

Fuel system: 340 pump and 60# injectors

Tuner/Dyno shop info: Adam Maurer S&M Motorsports Cleves Ohio

Other notable mods: longtubes, ported stock runner intake, open blower(no filter), TB, 96 cams Dot-to-Dot, 4.10s, and procharger 3 core intercooler

RWHP/RWTQ:480+/430+ on a brand spanking new mustang dyno... Didn't ask about the timing but AFR was at 11.0 at that time.

Car performed well. On the street, made really good pulls with a c6 that made ~430. Id imagine the traps would have been between 123-125 if i had the rpm for it at the end. Car has since blown up haha

New motor has a smidge less compression but also going with a 3.125 pulley, KB BAP, 3.73 gear, and i think my new blower is an s trim. Oh.. and a built Promotion Tr3650 that i was able to put 8 miles on before it blew up (no i wasn't beating on my car with a new tranny, clutch, PP and flywheel haha.. blew up coasting to a stop).

I have a question for all involved. I love seeing the hp numbers. It's very impressive. My Mach has decent street tires, 410's and a converter and turns 12.8 quarter miles times with terrible DA here in Phoenix.
As near as I can guess a Vortec with intercooler would run $7k+ by the time it was tuned. Is it really woth the money? I don't see any quarter mile times posted. I'm not complaining about big hp, but does all that money just buy you an impressive dyno printout?
I believe there would need to be a lot more money spent on suspension upgrades before any of that power could be put to the pavement.

I put together a used kit and i spent about $3.5k. My DAs are worse than yours, at 7,000. Best NA time was 13.1@104. With the blower I'm at 11.9@120 right now. Doing an auto swap and I think I'll run mid 11s after.

Cool!
Has anyone found out the hard way just how much boost our all aluminum 4v can take considering the weaker than Cobra internals? I understand a bad tune can take out the motor no matter what the boost level.

Bump for any new Vortech machs?
