Go it Lee , sounds fully hectik bro. Does it come with twin sub-woofers?

[donoauto]

I too , am a ricer with a WRX. I feel as though I can still stand tall & hold my head up high. Having a Mustang muscle car in the shed is good back up in an argument though.

We have touched on this breifly but for a road car whats the best setup for a supercharger? Twinscrew or centrifugal?

Having a big block like powercurve sounds good but so does the high rpm rush of the centri.

If you want it to feel different to Q.. F2 ProCharger = Game Over.

If you're serious about supercharging.. take a drive out to York and speak to Mark

[jusTANG]

i do like the sound of a nice super charger....mmm got me thinking now lee

[Foresight]

The temptation is hard to resist isnt it justang...just have a look at this chart

[Foresight]

To build an under-stressed supercharged efi V8 are you better off starting from scratch with aftermarket parts or is a motor out of a falcon a more cost effective/ample solution?

8 PSI is nothing mate.. a stock engine should be fine with that.

Basically that is all the car in my avatar has, stock roller 5.0 with the puffer, goes like stink.

Do you know the numbers the car is pushing kerry?
I'm not looking for a dyno queen but I want to build a car that has usable power on the higher side of life (as Steve said I don't seem to believe in half measures :rotfl:)

I don't have much experience with these cars so I don't know if 300rwhp or 500rwhp is considered usable...

At the moment I am thinking a AU 5.0 with a kenne bell at around 450rwhp.

I reckon that will be more than enough to scare the sh1t out of you on a damp day.
I have a stock 5.0 in my AU III, 220KW or about 300HP at the flywheel, it brakes traction in the dry and manages a 14.6 at the strip but very easy around town.
When yours is finnished can I have a go
cheers.

Sure nassi,we make these cars to drive them dont we :thumbs"
Hopefully the racelogic traction control is as good as they say

[ozbilt]

That would be what the one in the avatar has. It has no EGR & an 80mm throttle body from memory, JBA shorties.

Give you an idea, went out in Ron's 351 roller 69 today. It gets to 100mph quickly (by 3rd gear with a 3.25 rear end). It has a 5 speed in it. Engine will go on a dyno as soon as it has a few hundred miles on it, expect about 450hp is in it.

Oh course we were on a private road, not wishing to be in breach of any road laws....

[Foresight]

So do you think with a tweaked suspension setup, serious wheels and traction control (for any rainy days) we could handle some bigger numbers?

Thinking about a gearvendors for the rear to switch between a couple of selected rear ratios

Forget the traction control & learn to drive properly..

GV is hardly necessary, go for a run in Ron's car when you come over & you will be impressed with how it goes, esp on the freeway in 5th (about 1900/2000rpm at 115k)
