[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 8772306, member: 55701"] read some threads on here. if you've ever done anything serious to a car, or read about people doing serious stuff to their car, you know there is the way they expect it to go smoothly and then the real world eight thousand problems they have to deal with, and sometimes still not get the correct final result. for starters, you're using MAJOR components from at least 20 different manufacturers all who test fit and R&D'd their parts on a bone stock car, and couldn't give two shits about whether it fits with other brand parts. have you ever even driven an 80lb injector car? very few tuners out there can get them anywhere near streetable, and then even the honest owners will admit that there is something lacking down low in driveability. this is not LEGOs. you're completely changing the fuel system. you're completely changing the maf/injector combo. you're doing a stroker kit. you're doing aftermarket sleeves. you're completely disassembling your very complicated 4.6 4V and refreshing it. you're adding a very low production count aftermarket turbocharger kit. you're completely ripping apart the third member and revamping it. you're getting the car tuned. this is not my definition of a "simple" build. other than suspension/interior, which I'm sure you have high plans for, you just built a completely new car from the ground up. I predict this will be three times as expensive as you originally budget, you'll have nightmares getting it tuned, and you'll be fixing it every third time you go to take it out because you just made the recipe so complicated and there is not a single part on the car you haven't overengineered. you're going to eventually hate the car and sell it. if you want 600whp on 91 octane...full exhaust, 2.3L whipple. if you want more than that. stock cobra longblock, twin turbochargers, air/air. stock mach1 manifold, bolt it all right on and call it a day.
