The hellion and twinturbo50 kit are close to the same price, surprised yall thinking about the hellion wouldn't just wait on the other to come out. 2013 GT with twin turbos and a built motor... oh yes... it will be mine!

I wouldnt go kenne bell, TVS or whipple 2.9. I would get the hellion kit. Lots of good reviews and no wait.

Im pretty sure he was only making 620rw in that vid. He has a higher stall though.

Duggles, don't underestimate the "good" aspects of having a car that leaves soft. You aren't tearing up rear ends, axles, suspension parts, and it's easy on tires. Having a car that runs 10.6 @ 135 with 1.8 60s will be a lot more reliable than a car running 10.6 @ 130 with 1.5 60s.

Just throwing it out there. I'd rather be cutting 1.5s too. lol

Whatever Manny did to run 9-second quarter miles with a stock engine and trans is what I would do. Put oil pump gears in it and maybe run a little less boost to let it live longer.

besides price, this is the main reason i went Paxton over a tvs. the instant torque is awesome but puts a bit more strain on the parts you listed.

i'll hit the track occasionally but most of my fun will be on the streets of Mexico and i think the centri will hold its own very well.

also, when you say "less grunt off of the line", what exactly do you mean because even with a paxton, you'll still be pushing over 500tq so not as mean as a tvs with over 600, but much more so than stock at the mid 300s. i have 3.73 gears so a little better than your 3.15s for getting off the line but still, i think you could be smoking the tires through the first 3 gears if you wanted to.

good luck with your decision, looking forward to seeing what you end up with.

That would be a good idea since Manny melted the motor. Oil pump gears are a must.

With a stock block I think the Roush TVS is a great way to get power and they're not as expensive as a Whipple. One of my customers is making 620 and 550 TQ, not many PD blowers are making that much torque with only 10lbs of boost. I have some pretty good deals right now with the Roush kits.

A302 11-24-2012 08:49 PM

All the combos listed make a lot of power and run great. I have a Roush TVS and like it. I ran 6.74 and 6.75 back to back last time at the track. This was done on drag radials with an auto with stock gears and stock suspension with 1.5 sixty foot times. The car made 561rwhp the last time it was dynoed. That's not that much power. It's just a combo that works well. The trans is also stock. No fancy exhaust either. Just an off road h-pipe and that's it.

THat's a good running car with a simple set up. I dig it.

Thanks. When I bought this Mustang I wanted it to be simple and run good. I decided to skip all the bolt ons that don't make much difference.
