For the tech savvy out there
 

Suppose I take the s/c off my car, how many horses do I have. Now then what kind of hp numbers would I be looking at if I up graded the cams etc etc. Lastly what would the cost of doing such a thing run a feller:chacha:

Lend me your car and your visa card for the weekend and I'll let you know on Monday....

Just swap me motors, that should be easier!!!!

Cams can net you 30+ depending on specs.Cost,too much LOL!Cams alone are around 1000 for the 4V modular engines,the you need the upgraded valve springs,which are roughly another 200 bucks or so.
Why lose the s/c?

why take such a beautiful thing like a s/c off, just the thought of it hurts, poor pony! lol

i was curious and have not seen this done. Kev I will have to pass lol

SNAKEBITE, step away from the car .....

Glad to see you pass on this idea!!

Seems to me like working backward. Could always go turbo or cam it with the blower. I saw a an article in mm&ff where a guy ran a compound boost setup where the turbo pushes into the supercharger. That might be fun. If I was interested in a n/a 5.4 I would go after a 2000 Cobra R. It's on my list of cars I want to own some day.

If you do such a thing you are no longer alowed to sit with us at DFM....:suicide:
