looking to do something different (i know people have done it but you dont see many around) but what i am planning on doing this winter is puttin a 408 w/ a procharger set up on a 1999 mustang. i am wanting to run somewhere in the mid to low 800hp. i was wondering what procharger, h/c i should look into and if you can give me any other info i would appreciate it greatly.

thanks...

lol i wish i was mr moneybags... no im actually settling on a lawsuit of a ford that burnt down my dads house and had my 69 camaro ss in the garage along with a **** load of other things that were in the house so im using some money towards the car and then investing most of the rest but my dad is going to be helping with the funds a little

lsx based... i wanted to try something different b/c i havent seen to many of these out but i would like to keep it mostly track and maybe take her out on the street a few times a year...

and also do you think i should go forged and stroker or just forged or what??? i need all the help i can get

Just do a stock stroke setup, maybe go .030 over on the pistons. You don't need big cubes to make power with a blower...Especially if you're only wanting around 800. We'll be making way more than that with a Vortech blown 306 next season.

Just go with a good bottom end and some AFR 225's. A sheetmetal or EFI-converted carburetor intake would be the way to go. **** that FAST junk. And a standalone efi(Fast, BS3, AEM, etc.).

If you're sticking LSX Based, you can make a decent amount with a stock crank/ forged rods/pistons set up and have a 347. You can't bore them .030. A set of nice LS6 heads with a procharger and a front mount and she'll scream. I wouldnt buy an off the shelf kit with the little intercoolers. Grab something that's going to let you fab up a front mount. You don't want a fast style intake, you can do a victor JR with an elbow or just an LS6 style intake.

i was looking at texas speeds 347 and 408 and the prices arent that different... wouldnt i benefit from a 408 more though??? and should i go stroker with it?

I was figuring you were going with an LSX or iron 6.0L block when I said bore it .030 over.

Cubic inch will always make more power. You just need a bigger blower to shove more air in there. A D1SC on a 347 will be capable of 700 RWHP. A F1R with a 408 will make a few hunder more to say the least

Go turbo.

yeah i was thinking going the turbo route but ive been seeing some really good results coming from the prochargers....

but yeah how should the motor be set up up??? should it be a forged stroker motor or just forged???? and what internals would you guys reccommend?
