well I just did some quick number crunching in the shower....and with that 4.2L that puts out 280HP with a S/C running at 8PSI which will give you like a 50% increase would put me around 420HP correct?

[Onemanzu]

mmm im not so sure on the 50% increase ... 350 would be a reasonable number depending on what other mods you intend on putting on

[Arch_Angel]

Ill still be happy with that lol but I guess I had my idea of S/Cs off

haha. no. I have a custom 4.2 (300 at wheels) with a intercooled procharger(15 psi) and she its putting between 420 and 450. No way that your going to even come close to 420 with only 8 psi and the 'shelf model' 4.2. Get it custom built man.

read below my sig. it lists whats done to my car. the engine alone is the following:


(this is the confirmation e-mail I got)


Heres what we're looking at. You ordered the forged rod/forged piston 3.8 engine for your 97 3.8 Mustang with T-45 transmission. for best performance with the ProCharger, we're including Stage 3 cylinder heads, and the CompCams 218/224 billet cam. Your engine will include CompCams 1.7 stud mount rocker arms, Trickflow hardened pushrods, race-prepped 94-95 rods and Wiseco forged pistons. We'd recommend 8.8:1 compression ratio for your ProCharger application. We'll also provide a Stage 3 upper intake along with the BBK 56mm throttle body at no additional cost.

they dont have a package stage 3 so you gotta request that they do it. It came to right about 1k. the whole engine was 4200

I really didnt want to post them until I got the nitrous in (i wanted to reveal it once it was 100% completed). I should be getting it put in the end of next week. If you want to see it before its done, i can post a couple pics when I get home from work.

hey if you don't want everyone to see em could always pm the link. I love seeing a work in progress.
