Ok so I have been thinking. Like always.

My 02 GT has a few mods:

TB
INtake
Pleanum
CAM's
Ported heads
FUll lenth headers
SCT tuner

I am set to get a tune this saturday morning + Dyno run. Before I do I want to make sure I don't have to go back again soon and waste the cash I am going to shell out now you know.

I am now thinking of either adding Nitrous or FI. Below was my FI Idea if I go that route. Nitrous route would be like a 75-125 wet shot. I want to know what you all would do. I can either get the nitrous then go get tuned or if I am going to go the FI route should I just get the other stuff first like the Fuel pump, Injectors, MAF ( not sure what kind ) ect... ?? Your thoughts ??

I noticed this thread for building your own vortech kit. $1500 96-04GT Supercharger kit "how its done" - MustangForums.com

I am thinking of doing this FI setup and was wondering if I can get any Vortech Supercharger or dose the head unit need to be specific to a 4.6 kit head unit? Humm

Head unit has to be for a 4.6. They rotate counter clockwise. Your cams might decide what you should do, but that would be for someone who has them to answer.

Thanks man on the rotation of the head unit. Good to know.

Anytime, good luck on the dyno.

I'd piece together a supercharger kit and then get tuned/dyno'd. Of course I'm boost happy. Nitrous is ok but I would go through several bottles a week

[aluv4speed]

Yeah I am trying to be boost happy! Haha. but cost is a bit more. I am leaning on a cold fusion nitrous wet kit just because it will only be $500.00 and will alow me to save a bit of cash.

If I roll with this kit do I need like a fuel shut off or any other saftey stuff? If I do get the nitrous I want to be as safe as I can for the car as to not blow anything. I'd gladly give up 50 HP to be safer.

yes sir! I would go thru spray like crazy! I am in boost a lot! lol But hey I put it on there for that reason!

It is more expensive but better off in the long run. Look for a P1sc or V2 blower.

Fixt. Unless you have one of those John Wayne nitrous bottles, lol.

[Scott2001GT]

My would be armed at all times lol.

[dcook_14]

Exactly Scott, a part time power adder isn't going to wet my whistle.

Amen! I just want to push my foot down then GO! No arm, purge, GO! Just me...I like spray but I love boost more! the sounds and looks are to much to pass up!

[aluv4speed]

I hear that! I know that if I got the nitrous I would be wishing I had the power on foot command not having to arm, purge, spray and hope I have some left in the bottle. Good call Guys.

I'll just save a bit more.

Question though... I am going to the dyno this weekned. You can see my above mods but still have the stock MAF Sensor. Should I grab a 90mm lightning sensor and throw that on before the tune? Would that work with FI or do I need a blowthrough or some shiz?? Also would throwing a 255 pump in there befor the tune help at all?

Also comming off my headers I have an x pipe with cats. Do you think throwing a pipe without cats would help power or even be worth the cash?

Thanks. I just want to make sure I maximize this tune.

Oh and I have a engine bay intake system. would it be worth it to run the extra 90 degree pipe to put it in the fenderwell? thanks!

[Scott2001GT]

you wont need fuel or a MAF with your setup.

When/If you go FI...go blow thru(intercooled)with IMHO a 05+ slot style MAF, a Ford GT pump and a BAP with 42lbs or 60lbs injectors

Looks like we snagged us another centri guy Scott!

I'd go to tune just the way you are now. When you supercharge put a GT supercar fuel pump in and run blow through with an HPX PMAS MAF.

As long as those cats are high flow units you won't get much of a gain by going catless. And I'd leave the intake the way ti is right now.

[aluv4speed]

Thanks Dcook. Some good clear advice. That is what I was looking for.

Sum it all up. Save for the Supercharger parts then get to boosting. I'll post some #'rs next week. Hoping I'll be at least 300 RWHP but we see.

[aluv4speed]

This is a V2 but has the 90 degree discharge. Do you all think this would work in my 02 GT?

[aluv4speed]

Ok here is one more pic. I don't know much about superchargers but I know a pulley goes on back. How would I find the correct pully & dose it mount by screw? I just don't see how it would mount on this. I was looking at pullys on Superchargersonline.com in the accesorys section.
Any feedback is awsome
