4.2 Stroked shortblock.. with cam and alll
New pulleys
t3/t4 garrette turbo 12psi
racing headers
dual exhaust
t-lok 3.73 gears
ported upper/lower intake...

what do you guys think?

[JTS]

All of that and........a tune lol my guess would be around the 400+ mark probably more
but youll need to beef up the bottom end!

[JDP527]

any non costly backside help?

[JDP527]

my budget would be.... shortblock w/cams and stuffs - 4,000 Turbo - 4000 Ported intake - 300 Pulleys -250 Exhaust - 600 ... not much more to spend...

[WLJohnson05]

without some forged components it equals a blown motor.
with the 7.5 rear it equals a blown rear.
for that sort of setup u need the supporting mods to go with it.

You need atleast a tune , and possibly supporting fuel mods and rear end stuff.

+1 What WLJ said kinda what i said but forgot to mention the forged components lol you need to be able to beef up the rear to be able to put it all to the ground

[JDP527]

forged rods and crank to handle the boost

Torres deals with rpm on a daily basis it seems, hes your best bet.

Im not being a ct nutswinger, im just saying, the man knows his shit with these engines.

the t-lok you'll break
racing headers on a turbo setup...doesnt exsist unless your talking a TMA turbo kit
a fully built 4.2 assuming with all the goodies top of the line heads and cam with the PROPPER turbo because the turbo will blow
and a TMAturbo kit
12psi should make 450rwhp
safe zone i'd say 440-480rwhp. 440 is a bit low you'd need a soft mans cam.
an aggressive cam with well ported heads 480rwhp shouldnt be to hard with a properly sized turbo

[itschristorres8]

i also port and polish intakes (upper and lower) and cylinder heads as well
i can do REALLY aggressive cylinder heads such as the proto-type im working on now or aggressive stock valves or basic stock valves.

CRT RACING PERFORMANCE |
you will not find ported intakes and heads cheaper

bottom end?? why the 3.8 block is a beast. Itll take more than most will ever throw at it.

I put you at about 450 if you tune it well and get a good turbo and cam and all

[Techniq]

With the Turbo a bigger fuel pump wouldn't be a bad idea.

I meant rear end lol my bad

[Onemanzu]

your budget isn't large enough.

that set up could see 400+ though. if you do it right.

[JDP527]

thanks man... i am talking tma turbos... i've been eyeing up their street / strip set up... and what should i put back there instead of a T-lok ... and i've been hearing windstar ... what are they talkin about?

[04mustang232]

8.8 rear end instead of the 7.5

Windstar is just refering to the windstar intake swap thats popular for split port v6s. It replaces the stock upper intake with a lighter, much more efficiant (sp), plastic peice off a ford windstar minivan. Yes, a minivan.
