I still have a low mileage car with nothing done but in the future want to push it to the lower limit of what the track allows without a bar (currently I think that is 11.50). I see people on here spending $1500 for a FAST intake and TB to pick up 20 HP. Doesn't add up to my wallet. So going power adder what can I do with the stock pieces most cost effective? Possibly a SC with stock bottom end or should I just wait a bit and do a NA motor with good heads/cam? Trying to figure out the best way $$$ to skin the Cat

Bolt-ons For The Win.

Anyone with one of these kits installed? I like the second stainless one. I know more pieces I will need but a decent looking kit. Wonder if you have to delete or move anything?

you can hit 11.5 with a good cam, converter and bolt ons

Quicker, cheaper and easier than a sc/turbo?

What bolt-ons?


Headers, exhaust, cam heads? 4k I would say?

Are you anti-nitrous? That'd be the easiest, cheapest, and in my opinion, safest way to get your goal, and possibly then some.

engineermike

Heck, it's been done with an air intake, exhaust, converter, gear, and good tires.

And, yes, 100x easier than SC or turbo.

I just did a search and found that the bolt-on record (no cam or heads) is actually 10.98 at 119 mph. There are no fewer than 13 cars quicker than 11.50 with only bolt-on's. There's no way I'd even consider going forced induction for that "mundane" goal.

Agreed.....boltons and a cam....way cheaper

Have a couple of those links?


I would never bar/cage it so that is me. No nitrous either. Seen too many bad things come from it and just don't care to have it on mine.

There is a guy from the local forum I post on that also posts on here (Camscam02) who went faster than 11.50 with bolt-ons, cam, stall and tires. Pm him for more info on what his setup consisted of...

Our '95 Formula is running 11.31 at 118 mph with under 400 rwhp showing on our Mustang Chassis Dyno. The turbo 400 and 4000 stall converter do make the numbers read low, but this will give you an idea of what can be done with modest power levels and a good suspension.

So you don't want nitrous because bad things can happen with it but you are willing to throw on a turbo/supercharger

engineermike

That's funny. I've had a single turbocharger trash 4 engines.
