is this 8-9 hp to the wheel or to the fly? coz that's quite a bit for just the intake alone if it's ponie to the wheel...

internal supports?? you talking about the frame right? but FI uses carbon fiber skeleton...i believe...i could be wrong..that the DG uses fiberglass.....

so the DG makes a better quality hood for the protege than FI?? do u mean the fitment of the hood?? coz i dun think there are many companies who can top FI's hoods.... too bad they cost so much...

well. the built of the latch is a factor, however, that is not the only deciding factor as to whether ur hood will give or not. It also has to do with how well the cf hood is bonded to the frame. the frame most of the time is made with fiberglass...it is only the top cover u see that is of...

why not get the blitz powermeter ID? u can get that for about 200 give and take..but it taps directly into the ECU.

mustang...the gt?? old or new model?? which one was it?

sweet.... so are u running 7.5 or 10psi?? what kinda time are u running with that?

ok now are u talking about to the crank or to the wheel? but you are right...for 10psi u should get another 100 hp to the crank. but anyways. what 1/4 mile time are u running with that setup of urs?

apc is quality?? are u sure? i have never seen the hood in person, so i am not gonan say much about it.. but the last thing apc made was the LED muffler tip... to me. apc just dun with performance.... has anyone have these yet? a friend of mine had a apc cf hood, not for the bj, but for...

man..all that custom engine work...that's gonna cost ya... is the greddy e-management a piggyback? or is that a programmable ecu?? so basically with that ur can advance the timing and tweak the fuel map right? would u need to reinforce the block after replacing with high compression pistons??

actually, i am quite curious as to how fast, fastest, can you get with N/A on this motor?

I agree with you. It's alot about personal taste. and you COULD go fast with N/A. and planning is definitely good, unless u have alot of money to blow. But for me, i would choose turbo over nitrious or all motor because 14s isn't exactly fast. alot of cars out there are already running 14's...

exactly. believe it or not. the turbo is really one of the cheapest way for "go". think about it. with the compression of 9.1:1 on the FS-DE , u can "safely" push 10 psi of boost without rebuilding the internal. that's like 50 hp already, u can argue the exact hp number here..but depends on...

is there any functional vented cf hood?

the problem with that is u can't really add hp like that. let say IF, if you do get 5-6 whp from the muffler, and IF you do get the 4-5 ponies from the intake. ur gain from the intake after u install the muffler will not be as great as the intake alone. and vice versa. ur combined hp from...
