I'd really like to put down 500hp all motor. Hope these are the ticket; just not brave enough to be the first.

If I had the extra $1500 I would have ordered last week! I plan of doing stage 3's and a port and polish job on my cylinder heads before I go FI

This is sweet as hell. So with longtubes, CAI, cams/valvesprings(for high RPM) and tune. We could see 500RWHP S550's roaming the streets?

If this turns out to be the case, I would go this route over a FI setup. I would love to have 500RWHP N/A with a 7800-8000k redline with reliable power.

Yea its called the GT 350..

No seriously I agree, I would always stay NA before going FI. Especially if the car sees the track and having to deal with all the extra weight hanging over the front of the car with a blower and then all the intercoolers. Not to mention you will be hitting limp mode after a couple of laps as the air temp increases and the car starts pulling timing from the car due to the boost.

If I wanted a FI car I would be in a F82 M4.

With the right intercooler set up you can practically get rid of heat soak so the only thing forced inducted guys need to focus on would be the added weight but even that can be handled with the right suspension set up.

Correct, but that would be even more weight as the intercoolers get larger, and you can only do so much with weight. As you know weight affects everything.

Yes it does

Well update on the cams, talked to comp cams today at street machine nationals, and they are available for purchase but they are still on back order. They still haven't gotten their blanks

 

[sicks550]

I'm surprised comp cams doesn't have any vids of these on a car to spark more interest in the product

Are you saying a car with a PD supercharger setup will have major heatsoak issues? Does the Z06 have heatsoak issues around the track? I don't think you can make a statement like this. I highly doubt all FI setups on a mustang suffer heatsoak and IAT issues. Yes you are correct there is some added weight but I'm pretty sure the power to weight ratio is significantly increased with a FI setup. That is the goal after all isn't it?

Yea an F82 M4 is about 70-80K. Even a fully loaded mustang GT with a 10k Supercharger setup wont come close to that price. If you are able to afford an F82 m4 you should have gotten that instead of a mustang GT. Not really a fair comparison. Z06 and M4 are what you should be comparing and maybe the GT350.

NA is cool and all but I think people get lost in thinking that it actually is cheaper or easier to make more power NA than going FI. I used to think that myself except once I started looking at some of the 5-6k supercharger setups out there. Performance per dollar there really is no comparison in my opinion.

I will say that if someone is planning on making their car into a track car for auto x and stuff, a FI built prolly wouldn't be smart. Our cars with 600 hp just tends to do nothing but roast the rear tires through first and most of 2nd. Where a NA motor would work much well for that situation

depends on their goals but yes, I agree generally with that. If you are looking to maximize performance for Auto X or road racing, weight reduction is probably your best bet along with tires. I don't think I would spend much time tinkering with intake manifolds, heads, cams etc, at that point.

Does the Z06 have heatsoak issues around the track?

Yes it does, very well known in fact. Been mentioned in many magazine comparisons even.

Really? and the m3/m4 has zero heatsoak issues? What was the ambient temps during testing? Almost any car will heatsoak on a hot day.

A centri setup would do well. No lag, minimal heat, and the lower rpm range exhibits similar power to NA 5.0's.
