These tires will start smoking with hardly any throttle. Hopefully this summer I can score some DRs, but lots of money going into the motor ($7500.00)

We're aiming for around 300. I figure the stock 150, with a Procharger will get it to 260 (well, the website claims that anyways) and then a Stage 3 Powerpack from SSM - SSM says the Stage 3 kit will add 100 HP. Those numbers total 360 HP but I'm guessing that that combo will yield closer to 300 HP. Those engine mods plus gears, tighter suspension and a few extra's here and there (cold air intake, etc.) and it'll be quite the 232ci. It won't be the fastest V6 but it'll definetly keep up with a stock SN95 Cobra! I don't want her to have a race car, just something with a bit of pep that she'll be proud of. Sadly, the 150 HP that came with the SN95 's is very underpowered for the size / weight of the car - it's a chore to even pass on the highway sometimes.

Oh yes. We've already spoken about that. Lol. I agreed the car was hers - never said anything about the keys! ;)

Good looking engine bay TonyDee. You've already spent 7500 on the motor or your planning on spending an additional 7500 more on the motor? If so, what are your plans?

I think I'm just gonna stick to one of these two Suprechargers and then get my core engine components (cam, upper and lower intake, heads, plus forged internals) From Tom over at Super Six Motorsports. I've never read anything negative about those guys - I've spoken to Tom over email and over the phone and he's very professional. Expensive, but professional. I figure I'll go supercharger and then a Stage 3 Powerpack - should add roughly an additional 150 HP to the stock 150 HP. I'll be happy with 300 plus HP.
