Re: Montauk Cruise April 25th 2010 Going to get a babysitter. Me, the queen and the stang will be joining you on the 25th of April, looking forward to my 1st cruise and meeting some of you.

Chris, Your last post in taking into consideration what I'm looking for was perfect for the scientist in me. What your saying about each power adder, its pros and cons and the applications of each has been the best I've read in terms of an understandable explanation. You have definetly helped...

cobra20sc, My definition of streetable, is something you could drive everyday and enjoy some early morning high speed cruises out to Captree just for the fun of it. If a Camaro, Challenger or G37 was interested I would be confident when I put my foot in it that I had a legitimate shot. I...

Maximum Risk, I'm looking for 400 to 500Hp at the rear wheels for a car that for now is my daily driver, I don't have a time line, so its possible by the time I can afford to do this right it won't be my daily driver anymore. In terms of ET's I'm not looking for a track car, so I don't think my...

What is the basic maintenance for each system? How are they different, the same? How does each system effect the overall life of the engine and other parts? What if you add a nitrous system, to a SC or turbo system, can it still be streetable? Has anybody done that? More questions, but how else...

The input has been great, I guess, I'll start with a Haynes manual for the S197, continue to DVR the Power Block, and the HS I teach at has an auto program, maybe I'll sit in on some classes and talk to the teachers and learn from them. When this 2nd Master's is finished I might just go to...

Where did you learn to do what you do on your Mustangs? Did you goto school, if yes where, tuition, which school would you rate the best or recommend? Did you grow up with a motorhead who taught you all you know or did you just start hanging out at the garage with the muscle cars parked in...

In terms of maintenance the less the better, I don't want a high maintenance system that is going to cost me drive time. I am looking for a set up that will give me shot at most cars on the street that I can drive everyday. If I have to save longer to do it right I can be patient. Let's talk...

Great point guys with the FRPP stuff just being restamped sub-par other company's equipment. I agree that more for your money comes from the other companies, the problem is there is so much to choose from and you want it all to work well together. As for the baby Shelby, I might have to start to...

I see your point with the DYNOS, the amount of HP produced is in the range I am looking for, now the one DYNO had a significant drop off at 5000rpms, is that the turbo cap off that has been mentioned at the higher rpm ranges. My thought process is more than just big HP, does the turbo deliver...

Thanks for the help. I hope you get some takers on your experiment, as a science teacher the results would be interesting considering my questions. Low end torque not good on turbos and centrifugal chargers, which could end a race right away with a bad start or an inability to get off the line...

Chris, Need some more education, you mentioned the complaint being a centrifugal compressor, is that the same as saying twin screw or roots type supercharger? I know the vocab. not necessarily the meaning. What are the draw backs of the centrifugal ? Thanks.

Chris, Yeah I was probably misquoting the statement but you answered the implied questions. As for the brakes on my 09', I think they are adequate but I've never had a boosted car and it would seem if an upgrade is necessary you should probably do the brakes first while you have the money...

The turbo party is presenting some food for thought in my decision making process. What is the durability and maintenance on a turbo system and how does it effect daily driving vs the supercharger? How much of the engine has to come apart to install either system?

Quick281, Brenspeed is in Indiana, according to the website, did you just buy from them or actually have them install it also?

Quick281, WHy Brenspeed over JDM? How did you break all that? at the track?

TBapp, Look into the Edelbrock set-up, they seem pretty reasonable compared to some of the other big name superchargers.

Quick281, I am really liking the combo of performance and retro styling of the Saleen supercharger with the shaker attachment. JDM has a cool video on that pkg. and seems to use it on a lot of their in-house and customer cars. http://www.teamjdm.com/index.php Check it out and let me know what...

Quick281, Looking at the length of the burn in your picture, it looks like you have done a lot to the car to increase the performance, what are your mods, in what order did you do them, and what was the full cost of each (if you don't mind me asking.)?

TBapp, What are you looking to do that, like most of us, don't have the money for rt. now?
