[LaughingGT]

if i have some money should i

1) Get a 5.4 liter engine swap

2) supercharge the 4.6

[GT400SC]

How much mod money do you have?

 

[Superstang21]

Two words: Whipple..... Oh wait, thats only one word.

 

[GT400SC]

+1 WHip-ple!

 

[LaughingGT]

alright well i dont have much now but when i get to san dog im going to be making more that i can save so thats why im asking now

 

[Superstang21]

Step one: Buy Whipple
Step two: Buy pulley for Whipple
Step three: Crank up boost
Step four: Start saving your money for when your engine "grenades"
Step five: Buy new short block w/ forged internals
Step six: Go back to step four

 

[LaughingGT]

ya look at the price u would pay for all of that though thats alot to do plus alot of down time

2.3l whipple. the 3.4 is just to much for you

 

[LaughingGT]

i agree the 3.4 is alot espicaly for my motor and i would have to work up to it and build the entire car for that big of a supercharger

 

[atlblue98gt]

Go with the whipple. Cheaper than doing engine swap.

Well if I had it to do over again I would have done the engine swap first. The 5.4 will give you a better starting point and then when more money comes in for the blower you will have one helluva beast on your hands.

buy a procharger run about 8 lbs of boost and be happy till you can buy a mach 1 or a 03 04 cobra...

 

[LaughingGT]

i could do that but im just wanting to do soemthing a little different do 5.4 then put a procharger on it idk

 

[Renegade]

well if im correct the GT500 5.4 is like 14 grand, i say buy a block, buy a stroker kit, and either a whipple or STS twin turbo, crank it up to 20psi, and mash on the gas

 

[GT400SC]

Now you know why I asked you how much money you had to spend.

 

[LaughingGT]

i wasent really lookin at the gt 500 motor itself just a alum 5.4 that i could tinker around with and what size stroker kit we talking for the 4.6 right????

 

[Foxman]

if your going to buy a 5.4 and build it up you might as well buy another car.... oh and 20 psi on a stock block with be running on barrowed time!
