Or Spetter, see

fastest 2v turbo mustang (modular) - first thing he does is bore and stroke the motor.

[/b]

those kind of cars give me wood
nice simple combo that is effective

this kind of car is a perfect example of what can be done
without large cubes.
just an effective combo that runs 8s on radials
I think the fastest radial car is a 8-teen car, mustang of course

Default Ok

WOW you guys are passionate about your stuff HU!

I don't know where to begin, I cant reply fast enough?
When I posted this I had many questions and Not many answers.
I have spoke with a few Turbo companies and a few engine builders.
This is a work in progress so Who knows where I will end up?

For those of you who are trying to help? Thank you very Much!!!

For those who seem more interested in arguing and proving there point of view is best? Thanks for the flames!

I came hear because I was told this sight was where to go if you have tech questions. I did not anticipate all of this?

As for Money, I have it and can do the motor any way I please? I was Just asking if it was absolutely necessary to spend $500 on a new strong timing chain set up. Seems a tad bit high to me BUT it looks like that's My only Option so I will do it. BTW I already droped the $300o in the tranny! When the read end goes ( and iI am sure it will ) I will get a 12 bolt!

Why STS? Because I like what I hear about them, I like the results I see from there Kits. I am sure there is something better out there. There always is and you can go and wild as you want I guess?

I don't know what to say? I wish this would not have gotten as crazy as it has BUT O well? What can you do? Again, thanks for reading and trying to help. I wish you all well and We will see what I get out of it once its all done?
Lata, Arkangel77

77,
about the sts kit..
the results are good, I am not knocking that but they are a fairly new company that does not advertise any
of their cars putting out the HP that you want.
that means you will be a guinea pig!
I would want something that has been proven
and an intercooler setup liquid or air will be more consistent and efficient
