ok, i wana do a power adder. just not sure if i wana go turbo or S/C. what are your guys opinions?

Nite-Mare · 04-11-2006, 05:58 PM

TURBO!!

86sleeper · 04-11-2006, 06:01 PM

turbo, but it depends on your budjet.
a SC will be much cheaper than a full on turbo setup for a mod motor.

drawlin · 04-11-2006, 06:21 PM

remember, its on a 3.8, not a modular motor. i can get a full s/c set up for about $3,700. but i also wana cam it. but thats not a have to thing right now. will be ordering gears and t-lok tomarow.

One of the guys on TurboMustangs went 9.85 with a 4.2 turbo in his street car at FFW Commerce.

drawlin · 04-12-2006, 09:05 PM

did some research and turbo is jsut way more than i wana spend. so VMP tuning's procharger setup will do nicely.

don't forget to check out the kits on modularpowerhouse.com

drawlin · 04-13-2006, 09:22 AM

they only do moduar motors. so nothing for v6's.

how much cheaper per say? last time i saw tma's street kit vs. the vmptuning procharger, i didn't see all that much of a price difference.

the turbo kit has a lot more hidden costs.
the kit does not mention tuning, you need a EGR block off plat, possible ABS relocation kit, battery relocation kit or new battery, and a few other items that will add up.
tuning can be expensive on turbo cars.
the vmp kit appears to include everything.
Install will be relatively straight forward on both.

drawlin · 04-13-2006, 02:24 PM

yeah, turbo kits tend to need a few extra parts.

timpryor · 04-13-2006, 07:10 PM

andys TMA kits claim that they clear all stock lines and such, but check the sister site for more hardcore V6 info

txlen · 04-14-2006, 02:13 PM

sorry...i don't get it here...either of these will require tuning to get it right....if not then its kinda a half-assed job if ya ask me...no 2 cars are alike.....Len

no one said that you didn't have to tune it :P

txlen · 04-14-2006, 06:48 PM

ok...so what yer saying is yer gonna plop a blower on then not tune it??..if it was me and trying to do what you're trying to do with a V6 then turbo it...it's free HP and no belts flying off it and stretching and such...you'll have less stress on a shorter crank also.....look at the Buick Grand National's they run good, make lots of power and still get decent gas mileage, are quiet when yer cruising down the road , hell ya can sit in the drive-thru and order without turning off the motor!!....Len

that may be true, but to do even a blower right there's other stuff ya should buy to make things right, especially in the fuel system,,, you never wanna run lean or out of fuel on a blowen car....Len

i'm not trying to do anything; and p.s. the original poster isn't me, i think you're looking into things too much. no one specifically said or suggested that they weren't going to tune a car after a major power adder.
