I have a 2005 MCS it is stock other then a header and a high flow cat..
i would like to add a cold air intake a 15% pulley and the Snow meth cooling kit..
will this set up take me close or over 200 hp to the ground? If not then what would it take to get over 200 WHP?
thanx in advanced..

 

Adding the pulley alone with those mods will get you right about 200hp. The Meth injection will def get the temps down to make more power and should get you over the 200hp, but I would personally think about simplier mods to get there, like tuning and cams. That way you don't always have to worry about having meth in the car.

 

true but the stage one kit from Snow performance is 340 bucks....comes with everything, and i will be using my rear windshield fluid tank to hold the meth...its also a good idea to run some sort of cooling system even with all the mods you can get...i am all about freeing up existing hp...

 

After the basic mods you list you will REALLY need a custom dyno tune to get the most out of the mods.

You will want to get some bigger injectors to get the most out of the pulley and tune also.

 

so how do i go about getting a custom tune?

 

There are a couple of vendors that offer remote tuning if you don't have a shops close by. I believe RMW (revolution mini works) and WMW both offer remote tunes.

 

I have an 06 with a 15% pulley, Dinan CAI, & tune. I'm getting 193.7hp.

 

Well me being a realist or if you prefer a pessimist, those mods will not get you to 200whp. Now if you go to a forgiving dyno with a operator that wants you to have 200whp, then yes you will have it. But real world......think you will be short.

 

Mynes or RMW. Look no further!

Of course a 17% or 19% pulley would be a good starting point.

 

Actually we've tuned several cars with just 15% pulley, intake, header and exhaust and got an average of 197-205 whp, on a dyna pak dyno. And those aren't forgiving dynos. I've had several people on the same dyno get their heart broken cause with a pulley they may have only been in the 155whp range. So it is very possible, just have to have the right combination.

 

i have a shop stones throw away that has the brand "Mustang Dyno" and it will read everything and it also can apply a load and take in fact the weather conditions....i am thinkin i have a pulley already beacause it measures from outside shoulder to shoulder 2 3/8 inch or 60 mm diameter....with the header and high flow cat and i just found out it has a mini mania foam panal filter and also has the M7 strut tower plates, which is a bonus....so this friday mornin its getting strapped down and i will post the numbers (boost,A/F, HP and Torque) before i touch the car it will be nice to know where i am at...
cheers

 

A simple look at the face of the pulley will tell you if its stock or not, none of the aftermarket pulleys look like they belong there. I posted the pulley measurements of the stock pulley on here somewhere. I'll try to find it for you.

 

Here you may find this post useful in determining what you have pulley wise.

thanx alot thats great info...
so where is the measurement taken from?
is it from the outside edges like the lip that keeps the belt on or is it from the outside diameter of where the belt actually sits ( the groved part)?

thanx

 

ok i just found out it has a alta 17 % pulley installed on it (cool)
so with that and header high flow cat and a aftermarket filter (and who knows what else) i should have some decent power....what is the lbs of boost with a 17% pulley??

 

measurement from the grooved surface on both high point I believe but its been a while. as to boost not sure I don't have a boost gauge beyond the meth controller which activates at boost levels.

 

ok so i got back from the dyno and the numbers are a little disapointing...
these are the mods i have...
header high flow cat
17% pulley
cooler plugs
mini mania foam filter

the number read (weather corrected and with the weight of the car with my weight and full tank of gas inputted...
144 hp
127 lbs of torque
12 lbs of boost
a/f 12.00
somethings not right...i dunno

 

Dynapack? Dynojet? Mustang Dyno? 12psi at what RPM? If it's at redline then I agree somethings wrong.

 

mustang dyno...
i think th hp started to drop out at 6200 rpm then they let off...
i will have to check my sheet

 

Hmmm sounds very odd...we're very close in mods but I doubt very seriously a catback and a cai would net 3more psi and 60 more hp:



On that run:
17% pulley
Header
High flow possibly non-existent cat
Catback
CAI
Stock ignition

 

they tied into the vacume line that sits on top of the valve cover passenger side that has a tee with a cap on it...dunno if thats a good source

 

Is your belt slipping? Are you running cheep gas?

 

dunno if the belt is slipping...and i am running sunoco 94 octane

 

Sounds like a slipping/old belt and a possible boost leak.

Do you have the stock ic black connectors? These have been known to develop cracks and loose boost.

 

yes i do...new belt goin in on monday...if thats the problem i should feel the difference
