---Have 5 grand want 400hp---

WTFJayJay · August 18th, 2007, 05:34 PM

I want to get my 94 gt up to 400hp and ive got 5 grand to work with. Im thinking about a Vortech supercharger, then that leaves me with 2 grand, so what else should i do for power mods?

Turbo kit you will get more bang for your buck

Turbos are very expensive,I would do heads,cam,intake and all the other little stuff and put a 100 shot on it.

I agree. $5000 would get a nice turbo kit and still have money left over to buy a set of nice used aluminum heads.

WTFJayJay · August 18th, 2007, 06:09 PM

well im pretty sure im going with the vortech kit now, so what heads and cam should i get to go with it?

TurboLX · August 18th, 2007, 06:23 PM

Dude you would be more happier with a turbo kit, best 4k you'll ever spend,

WTFJayJay · August 18th, 2007, 06:33 PM

will the turbo give me as much power as the vortech kit with new head and cam?

and where can you get a turbo for 4000? the only ones ive found are the cheap ebay kits, or they are 5000+

nba1341 · August 18th, 2007, 06:42 PM

it will give you more power and are you looking at TT or turbo?

WTFJayJay · August 18th, 2007, 06:45 PM

so the turbo will give me more?

this is the only one i can find for 4grand.. http://www.cruizinconcepts.com/detai...ct_id=PTK-SNS5

See with a turbo, you adjust the boost (PSI) Per sqaure inch

You can adjust the PSI on a turbo giving more or less HP just by turning the boost controller, where as a supercharger is limited and uses HP to make HP

Read my write up in the general tech section, under power adders, the sticky at the top, Lets talk boost, read as much as you can

you can pick up a nice HP performance turbo kit for $4500 and is good to 500hp, Stage 1 kit which is all you need

Turbos produce more horsepower than any other power adder. They are more efficient than a supercharger and less stressful to the engine.

$2900 for a 70mm single turbo kit, plus shipping, and you still have money left over! This kit can produce enough power to split your block if you unleash it!

i thought NOS was the cheapest poweradder, but a turbo will give you the HP u'll be looking for. + u get that cool blow-off sound

and run it open wastegate

NOS doesnt give you constant power

sivart · August 19th, 2007, 07:20 AM

it will if you have alot of it

You cannot go wrong with a Turbo kit. They are easier today than they were 15-20 years ago. They are out of the box bolt on rather than the costly fabrication that had to be done to make them fit properly. I have read an article in MMFF recently stating that they have now fitted a turbo waste gate to a super charge application. It allows the driver more control over the boost levels which evens the playing field a little more between the 2 power adders. A properly tuned turbo setup will give more bang for your buck.

Hourofpain · August 19th, 2007, 11:01 AM

dude

stay with natural aspiration

Cam, intake, new heads, bore and stroke it, new lifters and rockers.

you can get 400 hp without going the forced induction route
