Performance questions

energiesource · March 20th, 2007, 11:04 PM

So I'm looking to spend about $11,000 on my car performance wise. I'm guessing $4,000 for the engine, $2,000 for the suspension, $2,000 for the brakes, and $3,000 for the drivetrain
do these seem pretty accurate?
which supercharger should i get? some say kb, some say whipple, and some say procharger, so im curious.

well what are your plans for th car?

energiesource · March 21st, 2007, 02:06 AM

just enough power, not drag, but more of a street machine that can beat the vettes, lol. although with only 4000 towards the engine, its not gunna beat a corvette, still. basically just a fast street car.

Drgnracin72 · March 21st, 2007, 02:10 AM

well a stout bottem end with a kb will beat most vettes

for 11k you could just drop an 03 cobra motor and t-56 in it and have some cash left to spend

acmillr · March 21st, 2007, 02:41 AM

KB all the way. Those have got some low end grunt.......

ujslost · March 21st, 2007, 01:41 PM

KB or procharger. I like em both.
Not a vortech fan and I dont know much about whipple right now.

White99stang · March 21st, 2007, 02:21 PM

2000 for brakes is alot.

02steedagt · March 21st, 2007, 02:54 PM

KB s/c FTW. Look at steeda stuff for your suspension and brakes.... +1 2k for brakes seems a little high.

ChrisJ · March 21st, 2007, 04:52 PM

On the brakes just go with Cobra front and rear...Maybe a grand at most...

Go with the KB if you want low end grunt...

Personally I would go with a nice single turbo set-up...

Or a Procharger or Vortech...

+1 then spend that leftover cash on some basic mods for the engine and beat stock vettes all day long with no problems---->performance wise

wouldnt that make me a fobra driver?

energiesource · March 21st, 2007, 11:24 PM

another thing
where can i buy a cobra crate engine, i look on the ford racing site and all i see is a mach 1 engine, which is basically the same minus the supercharger, but still, that is 6,800. supercharger would be 4,000, and the t-56 would be about 3,000. so anyone know a better place to get one?

if you put in a terminator engine, and then put the cobra bumbers, side skirts, and rear lip along with fake emblems, THEN u would become a fobra driver, lol

Just show the Cobra drivers who is boss, and you will have the last laugh.

I wouldn't. It would be a waste of money when you can buy a used Cobra motor cheaper. Plus the Mach 1 does not come equipped with forged rods or pistons.

but im looking to buy a cobra crate engine and cant find one, i hate used shit. lol
