what to do with $7500

00GT · May 12th, 2007, 02:00 AM

what should i do w/ 7500 if i want to stay NA w/stock block

also is there any power difference between SLP LM1 and LM2 or is it just a sound difference

Badasstang281 · May 12th, 2007, 08:48 AM

Will I would do forge internals with 11 to 1 compression notched pistons and some cam form hell like a Crower Cams Stage IV but that’s what I would do :wink And yes they are the same but the LM1 are louder than hell and the LM2 are just loud

zkid01 · May 12th, 2007, 09:07 AM

I would also forge out the internals... and build up the compression if you dont want to boost it. Also add in some heads and some cams.. should be within budget.. and as far as the LM1 vs LM2 ... the LM1 is just insanly load (some people say too loud) and LM2 is loud but much at a much more tollerable rate.

You could just write me a check for oh say....$7500....I can spend it

ChrisJ · May 12th, 2007, 11:09 AM

I mean you could easily get all the bolt-ons...IE

Under Drive Pulleys
Plenum
Throttle Body
CAI
Longtubes
Midpipe
Cat-Back
Gears
Sub-Frame Connectors
Upper Control Arms
Lower Control Arms
Short Throw Shifter (Manual)
Shift kit and stall (auto)
Lowering springs
Tubular K-Member
Tubular A-Arms
Cast and Camber Plates
Steeda X2 Ball Joints
Steeda Bump Steer
Aftermarket Adjustable Struts
Aftermarket Adjustable Shocks

And then you could move onto the look department...

Chin Spoiler
Grille Delete
Rims of your choice

Or you could go with a poweradder like a blower or nitrous for that kind of money...Or a single turbo set-up...Onces you feel boost you will never want to go back to N/A...

I'd actually get with an investor .. and stick it in on the S&P index .. that way you're not playing with individual funds .. rather you're getting the befenifit of how all the funds over all are doing ... its less chance to loose your money .. and a good chance to make it grow faster than just gaining interest ....

BUT A TIME SHARE!

Or get with a dope dealer and buy 7k worth of drugs, turn around and sell it for more than 7k, and then come back with a different question like What should I do with 10k... Just my thoughts.

Or if you want to spend it all on your car, get about 3,500 in engine mods and the rest in suspension mods and you'll have yourself a fairly quick GT.

rofl! good luck on that one.

supercharger: $4500
built 2V 4.6L: $4000-$6000

ujslost · May 14th, 2007, 11:15 PM

Personally I say throw the NA idea out and get a Kenne Bell, some good cams, heads, and headers, then put the rest into the rear suspension, such as gears, control arms and a 31 spline setup. Why waste that much on a NA motor?

energiesource · May 14th, 2007, 11:29 PM

why does everyone seem so afraid to boost their stang? a little boost isnt something to be afraid of.

MustangMatt96GT · May 14th, 2007, 11:43 PM

I personally like the idea of N/A bragging rights, but I know and understand that that comes at a hefty price so I will probably be going boosted if I do a build!

lol

im guessing youve never had an engine built for supercharger much less bought a supercharger

most tuners would point you out to the ricer shop around the corner and tell you they might be able to do it for that much. theres more to it then just slappin it all together

MeZ · May 15th, 2007, 03:42 AM

I beg to differ ...
set of balanced and forged internals 1700 dollars
+ install 1300
+ NIB DIY intercooled Vortech S trim kit w/ all the goodies installed and tuned 4,700
= 7700

if you can scrape up another 200 dollars .. then no problem ..

any questions .. contact matt @ CIN motorsports in charlotte .. they are reputable and known for their work on an STS sponsored Drift car ..

I dont know many 4.6 cars that are NA that have braggin rights over a FI car.

zkid01 · May 15th, 2007, 08:08 AM

I was thinking the same thing about a shop, back home in cali.. It would be just about the same price.. around 8K installed and tuned.

i dont think anyone is affraid to boost their stang, ujslost said in the comment above you that you should boost it. big numbers on a 2v is way easier to obtain with boost. their just saying it will probly cost more than $7500 for a built fi 2v. unless you buy a used s/c of ebay, but you may still go over.
