well i appreciate all the insight guys, i wasnt trying to start an argument over forced induction and all motor, and certainly not about gm and ford cars.
i have videos of the car beating heavy modded 2v mustangs and 3v mustangs when it was a intake and exhaust car. it should dyno just over 300 horsepower and still gets 28 mpg
im not on here to argue just looking for suggestions i appreciate all of them!

You put a intercooler under that heaton yet...

That's the big winter plans! Have a nice chiseled performance 3 gallon trunk mount resovoir with a built in pump, just recently bought a brand new Griffin intercooler that came up for sale in the market and I've yet decide between an Afco or LFP dual pass. But that amongst other things is on the to-do list this spring before the car lives again. I was very pleased with how the car performed on 8psi and no intercooler, but I definitely know it needs one, I decided to pretty much go big or go home for the cooling system.

What is "heavily modded" if it's what I'm thinking you mean then that solidly proves the point that there is only one thing worth doing to a 2v.

yeah your absolutely right. i was just hoping that wasnt the only way it seems more costly to daily drive. ill probably just lower the car stiffen it up and be happy with it

man, I've had my 2v for almost 6 yrs. Since day one, everyone has hassled me about just boosting it. Yet, everyone I know who has run a boosted 2v is not entirely satisfied, mainly they are really unhappy.

:bs:

Really? Where are all these so called unhappy people that have added blowers on a 2v?

Haha, his post was deleted.

I was super disappointed when I bolted on 160 hp to my 2 valve, lol. Then when I built my long block I picked up another 200! Haha. Boost sucks!
