Hey all im looking into a future mod right now, either gonna do turbo supercharged or procharged, any opinions, im looking for the most power! can anybody break it down by like overall power by overall price? please ")

[NMR-2vGT]

if you want the most power then the way to go would be a turbo. A turbo will be more than a supercharger though. If you buy a turbo kit then your probably looking at around $6k

[dc1515]

so in price by power wise it would prob go

1) Turbo most power, most expensive
2) Supercharger
3) Procharger least power least expensive

right?

power is money, if not in the parts that give it, in the parts you're going to need to support it.

What's the goal of this power? Faster 1/4mi times? Make the car faster in general? Just to claim a big dyno number?

[NMR-2vGT]

Procharger is a type of a supercharger

[MustangMatt96GT]

prochargers have a gearing issue IMO. The gearing in the supercharger lacks so boost time takes longer. I personally like Paxtons.

goal of the power is faster in general, mostly street, but 1/4 too!

[NMR-2vGT]

but you cant go faster if you dont have the supporting suspension mods. Your gonna sit there and spin with all that power and go nowhere. Thats what hes trying to say so you also should look into the supporting mods to go with your turbo or supercharger.

i would go turbo for the most power, but either way i would off on the 4.10s, it will be to much gear for turbo or S/C IMO

[dc1515]

so if i ever plan on getting a turbo or SC i shouldn't get 4.10s?

[dpstang98gt]

well IMO for turbo i would stick with the 3.27s (wish i would have) or go to 3.55s, and for S/Cs i have seen some people with 4.10s but i usually see 3.73s and sometimes 3.90s but its all in your preference

[dc1515]

well from what ive mostly heard for 98 gts is stick with the 4.10s most people said they r the best and that they love theirs, that i wouldnt regret getting them!

[NMR-2vGT]

Ya, but thats because most of those people dont have boost. I would go with 3.73's if you plan on putting down some serious power.

[dpstang98gt]

yes if u are staying N/A i would go with 4.10s for sure, and i personally wouldnt be afraid to go with a set of 4.30s, but if your going F/I then u might want to look otherwise just my opinion though

[dc1515]

oh alright.. so basically

4.10s will be a little better than say 3.73s, but if i plan on S/C in the future i would want to get the 3.73s but if im not gonna ever S/C would u reccomend sticking with the 4.10s?

[NMR-2vGT]

yes, but you can still use 4.10's with boost, some people do and some dont. I wouldnt personally

[dpstang98gt]

yes u got it

[dc1515]

so would there be a big difference between getting 4.10s and 3.75s like on the street?

[truedeath]

go twin turbo.
i think thats the route ive decided. its not THAT expensive if you peice it together.

one thing you DEFINATLY should forge your whole lower end.

once thats done you can play with as much boost as you want.

plan to spend big money, my budget for my motor is 6k before power adders, so build your motor wisely first or your gonna break. these internals can hold for up to 450hp then your shit outta luck.

id say budget about 10-12k for a fully built motor+turbo set up.

mines gonna be around 16-17k butt i want 30+psi

these motors arent cheap at all to build up, but imo alot more impressive and worthwhile compared to a 302.

[MikeD05GT]

theres a dude on here..he posted a thread a few weeks ago. he peiced together a kit and is using NPI stuff and turned out close to 400hp and only spent like 3k...thats not bad IMO...
