    I would step up to the Vortech, buy a Power Pipe from UPR or Anderson, buy some 42lb injectors and have the thing tuned right. You will have a noticeable difference in power and at least be able to keep those newer 5.0s close...!!!!!!!


    Good thing about getting the blower now, is that you can always build another larger motor down the road and still use the same blower....(something I will be doing shortly!!!)
    Out of curiosity, how much power is your '90 GT putting to the wheels with your combination? I'd have to guess somewhere in the 500-525 range.

    Best Dyno was 461 rwhp and 434 rwtq SAE corrected-that was at 10psi. I run Cats on mine so that takes away a few horse. I had it on the dyno a few weeks ago to see what it was doing with 12psi and it was down in power to 455, but I was having issues with my Meth System so I dont think that is accurate.

    It's quite a bit more expensive to do anything with the Mystic right now. There are two different pay schedules that people come out here to Bahrain on. If I would have been on the "other" pay schedule, let's just say that the Cobra would have gotten heads, custom cam and supercharger. The Mystic would have gotten a turbo.

    Anyway, I guess it's the supercharger!.........I've already been on the hunt for 42lb injectors and a MAF. Pretty sure I'm going to have Dez Racing tune it. I just have to verify that he has experience with the 94/95 tuning. I'm also going with a custom cam.......probably Ed Curtis unless anyone has a better suggestion. Some people have said that tuning with one of Ed's cams is pretty difficult----maybe they just don't know what they're doing?
