My instinct tells me this car is going to be everything I have always wanted in a Mustang and I won't mod it.

Sadly just like the GT500, owners want more power yet still struggle to understand whey they get yanked by lesser powered cars. I've been posting at svtp for years and majority of the owners buy power mods without first buying the proper tires or getting some seat time and learn how to drive fast. I'm not talking about regular driving, I'm talking about proper rpm when launching from a dig on different pavements.
It used to be about drag racing, now it's just a race from a roll since they cannot plant that 600+hp car properly. I agree with others in that if your are going FI, just save your money and by a regular 5.0. But then again a fool and his money....

How much is the voodoo motor anyways? The latest coyote is basically the road runner of yester year. Get an auto 5.0, add a minimum of oil pump gears (just to be on the safe side). Then take your 5.0 to hellion and get ready to be putting down around 900 rwhp if not more. Roll race and beat 99% of cars out there!

If one of you has the Tech pack and decide to go forced induction, I'll give you $1,000 for the SYNC3 after you destroy the engine. :headbang:

Keeping it normally aspirated with change of cat back exhaust system and non-tuned CAI...enough for me and for the driving I do

I'd be careful as there has been debate if the block and pistons can handle forced induction at all due to the rings and already high compression ratio.

That'd be a very expensive $30k blown Voodoo to risk it.

This really isnt the car to slap a blower on; that is the Supersnake or wait 2 years for a new GT500. The 350 was never intended to be a big hp straight line car. You could save a lot of money buying a GT and putting on a blower and new suspension; I wouldn't start modding a GT350 heavily.

I actually think this motor will handle boost quite well. Plenty of high compression motors that are boosted out there making big power. Just has to be designed and tuned right.

I don't think I'll guinea pig it, but I haven't ruled out twins

I don't understand the desire to go Forced Induction with this car. The only mods I will do will be an exhaust when I hear a few on youtube, and lightweight wheels. Speed isn't everything for me, and this has more than enough of it.

Yeah and we said the same thing when the 10:1 coyote came out. Yet here we are putting plenty on them. It's all in tuning and cam timing. Only time and trying it will tell.

Why isn't it the car to slap a blower on? Why not if I want it? I'll supercharge my lawnmower if I feel like it. Your opinion isn't fact. You may feel that way but it's not the rule. There are none.

Frankly, you don't need to understand it. Because someone wants to is reason enough (although being able to afford it plays a role).

Coyote + Twin Turbos = GT500.

Do you understand piston ring design pretty well? I would assume not as most people don't. Those in favor of boost throw out the boosted coyote argument with its high compression and that's fine and dandy, but even that motor is not all that similar to this. The ring lands on these pistons and the rings themselves are extremely small compared to something like the coyote. This is to minimize friction on the cylinder wall and allow for the high redline. When someone starts to boost the Voodoo and pushes it, they will either generate a ton of blow by and over pressurize the crankcase, force the rings out of their lands and cause damage, break a land on the very short piston, or all of the above. It's bound to happen eventually. YES the coyote takes boost very well but again this is a different engine with a different design and different purpose. Someone will do it, and break it.

I never claimed that I did nor did I ever mention the Coyote. What I do know is that there are already plenty examples of high compression boosted cars out there that run very well. So if someone was so inclined to do it, all it takes is a little time, research, testing, and oh yeah money.

I do already have a low comp high boost car that runs very well and has run that way for many years because I did my homework and built it right. If I ever decide I want an extra 100 or 300 horsepower out of this car, then I'll do it right too. :cheers:

You are right on !!! Im the only idiot that supercharged a a 997 GT3 RS and the "blow off" you talked about is waht happen to my engine, the check engine light would come on every 100-200 miles...I F..ed the car up and sold it "as is" and lost 50K You all boost this car and you will ruin it.....you want a boosted car get a regular GT Mustang or wait a year and get the GT500 Learn from my Mistake....

Curious as to what everyone's going to do with theirs when they get it?
I see no reason to buy a focused track car and turn it into a dragstang. There are plenty of other engines in the Mustang line up for that.
