There is no doubt the intercooler size is smaller than the other kits. After my researching for someone that has to have a warranty(my highest priority on a new car) I will be choosing the Roush kit. I know the whipple stage 1 is better but, I’m going with the Roush.

Yeah I’d love to do that but all those options are off the table due To $$$$$. Just bought a Kenne bell for the foxbody. They are making the kits again for a short run. And they ain’t cheap.thanks
Those are pretty much the only ways to add power relatively cheap. If any of those are to expensive then there’s not much

Drop a pulley size or 2, and go log it. Watch STFT's, and knock. Add 10-14oz ounces of Boostane/Torco before hand as well. Nothing wrong with a Roush TVS at all. They will make 750+whp if you want them to.... This isn't rocket science. My old Roush 2300 made 700+ no problem @ 12.5psi and 17.5° (Through a 6R80)

That 2300 kit is a better design and better heat exchanger brick. The 18+ HE is tiny thats why Lund wont do them.

Honestly I think longtubes and E85 with more timing is best way to go. Rather than pulley down a blower that already makes a ton of heat.

Expensive sure but clearly these are 2 most worth while mods.

long tubes
e85.

Mayyyybe a killer chiller if you want to stay on pump gas.

lund not tuning a car because of what H/E it has, is absolutely absurd. That’s like not wanting to touch the car because it still has the factory T/B. F him....Many ways to tune without worrying about a H/E size....

Cheap, reliable, fast: pick two because you can't have all three.
My wife says I’m cheap and unfortunately for her fast. I hear ya, I’m just at the point where I want as much bang for my buck as possible, bc I’ve already spent a pretty penny on what I have.

Yeah, I figured as much. I’m kinda at the point where financially I just want the best bang for the buck. Thanks

Spray it with a small 50-75 shot. That’ll wake it up and even cool down the air charge more, especially when combined with E85.

If OP is at 610 and the goal is 650, half a bottle of Boostane might just be enough to get there. I’d have to double-check but I thought the phase 2 cal would allow a bit more timing if octane allows it.

Yep, looks like it commands about 17 deg spark at wot, assuming ect and mct are normal. It will advance it up to 3 deg and wind up at 20 if octane is available.

With headers and a VMP tune I ran a 10.4@133 on a 19" et street ss... I added a KC and my IAT2's are respectable now.... It'll be interesting to see what I run next. I want to add a BAP too.... I think I'm in need of fuel at the top end of my runs....

If your ECU wasn't pulling any spark advance because of high IAT2's, then the KC won't make you gain any power.
