NEWB help

glndrums1371 · November 24th, 2008, 07:45 PM

im sounding like a newb cause i am for this kind of car. i would like a straight list of N/A parts that will let me hit 300-350whp. Nitrous is an option but i would like to save it as an add on to the list after i hit my power goal. Now the big hitch is the almighty dollar. I would like to keep the $$$ to 4k so i have a nice chunk left over from my deployment cash. any help would be great...thank you

glndrums1371 · November 24th, 2008, 08:01 PM

intake as in mani?? or ??...and with the cams will i need to change anything else? is there a good place to shop other than the basic steeda and stuff? with fair prices?

moosenuk17 · November 24th, 2008, 08:06 PM

search around man, there are a bunch of places, go to google and start searchin, cams/heads/plenum.TB/gears/UDPs/electric water pump/aluminum DS/

marcd · November 24th, 2008, 08:10 PM

your gonna need heads and cams. what unit you with on cp? i just came from there. you cruze with the mustang club out there?

go to Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle

It's your friend.

Also just simply google performance upgrade's if you're looking for specifics. There's tons of write ups and mod lists out there.

If you're on a budget, nitrous is your friend.

moosenuk17 · November 24th, 2008, 09:39 PM

go piece by piece bro, save up some money, buy what you can. and yes if you are on a budget nitros is your friend

Drgnracin72 · November 24th, 2008, 09:59 PM

if your looking for that power, supercharger is the best option, plus youll mkae more power, and be more fun to drive. yeah the initial investment of 4-5k is pricey, but when you add up the parts to make less power n/a it will come out to be pretty close. heads are going to run around 2000, cams around 600, plus all fo the other little bolts ons, and what about installation if you cant do it yourself.

n/a is fun, but a supercharger for just a little bit more money, will give you a much faster and more fun car to drive.

....brings a point to the table

AggieStang · November 24th, 2008, 11:41 PM

I'm not going to lie. If I could do it all over again I would have saved up the money and gotten a supercharger but i'm still happy with my laughing gas.

moosenuk17 · November 24th, 2008, 11:44 PM

im happy i am making the investment of the supercharger, the squeeze wouldnt be as much fun i dont think.

UnixHH · November 25th, 2008, 12:33 AM

glndrums1371 · December 7th, 2008, 04:56 PM

yeah i have been lookin all over, there is a ton out there and i still havent picked my direnction though.. thanks for the help. btw for the one that asked, im a combat engineer in mwss 271

foursixblurrrr03 · December 7th, 2008, 05:34 PM

if you're going to do heads, why not wait until the trickflow heads are available? From what I've read, the major limiting factor of our motor is the heads, and the trickflows will fix that, and they're gonna be priced to be competitive. just my $.02

mrsinister2424 · December 7th, 2008, 05:57 PM

I'd second that. If you want to stay NA, wait for those TFS heads. I heard they are supposed to be out in spring?

XectriK · December 7th, 2008, 08:07 PM

h/c/i will get you close.

btw your quote in your sig is by William Shakespeare in the play Julius Caesar

moosenuk17 · December 7th, 2008, 09:50 PM

all your real power is goin to come from the inside of your motor, bolt ons just accent, if i did it over again and knew what i was doing when i started i would have saved up for a new rotating assembly, then cams, heads, then start working on the outside of the motor, you see the biggest gains from those and gears.

The easiest and most economical way to make horsepower with a 4.6 is a supercharger.
