I'm planning on picking up a fox when I come back from vacation this christmas. I got the options.
1) built motor - bottlefed
2) built motor- twin turbo
3- built motor- supercharged

I want opinions on which one is the best bang for the buck and I want to break 10's with the car. I want a stock car that I'm going to do the usual bolt ons first then comes the hard part. Which route do you guys thing would be the easiest and cheapest.

[91cobra5.0]

slicks, suspension, hci , huge shot of juice (125 or so) and gears

[M L Struck]

cost effective answer is the bottle

[grnstang]

yea, build the motor to handle nitrous and remember: build a CAR not only a MOTOR

[Haseeb718]

I'm thinking, gears, Suspension,full bolt ons and HCI. Also a set of big and skinnies. Think that will be enough for 12's?

Nitrous is the cheapest horsepower per dollar power adder so that would be the way to go if you are looking for the cheapest route. Making the horsepower is the easy part. Putting it to the ground efficiently is where you need to pay attention.

More than enough. A 12 second Mustang is fairly easy to accomplish.

Go the supercharged route! Build a 331 whippled MACHINE!

[BB Service]

Go with a Supercharger.
Refilling nitrous bottles gets old and everytime you do it, you're throwing away money you could have invested in a supercharger.

IMO, nitrous is just a hassle. With nitrous you have to buy other accessories to have a properly set up system such as bottle heater, bottle opener, gauges, solenoids, etc...

I'll tell you this, every one of my buddies that have gone nitrous have sold their systems within a few months to go forced induction. But you never know, nitrous may be for you

It takes alot of nitrous refills to equal a supercharger. I agree it can be a real hassle unless you have your own refill station.

What kind of built motor? 302 or 351? Are you stroking it to any certain cubic inch? Stock block or aftermarket?

Stock 5.0 blocks are only good to about 500 hp..so if you build a stroked 347 with a nice top end, you could be over 400...that only leaves less than 100 hp with the power adder.... Just something to think about.

[americanmuscle90]

I like the supercharger route. Especially if it will be a daily driver because you will have that extra power all the time. Nitrous in my mind is limited to certain occassions and a turbo takes time to spool up. grnstang is right build the car not just the motor.

[STREETFIGHTER50]

How about a nice, naturally aspirated 347? My combo made 410 RWHP & TQ on 91 pump gas with: C&L 76mm MA, 70mm TB, 30lb injectors, RPM II intake, AFR 185's (polished exhaust ports), HiTechMotorsport cam, 1 3/4" BBK longtubes, & 2.5" exhaust. Ran 11.3 previously...
I'm hopin for high 10's soon with the new mods.

my buddy was running that fast with a $ 100 dollar junkyard cougar motor with cleaned up E7s, rpm intake , a cam , and 750 carb with a 200 shot of nitrous

nitrous is for those who want to go fast on a budget ( me included )

didnt know he is using an electric motor.......thought it was a gas engine.



if your going into the engine to rebuild it then build a 347, or you can pick up junkyard engines for around $150-$300. go pick up a 351 and stroke it to like a 408 or somethin.

[grnstang]

whatever dude haha

Like Darrel said... making the hp to get you there is easy... its getting it effiecently to the gorund and hooking that is where your focus should lie...
