HCI setup for blake...

Yes. The Whipple setup on my 06 gt was the non-intercooled version. You don't have to run higher boost to have the intercooler setup, you just run a larger pulley. Also with the intercooled version you make more power. Plus you can usually find used kits for good deals that have almost everything, if not everything.

well yeah... idk we'll see..

let me know what parts besides the supercharger you guys need, i may be able to come up with some. this winter we're putting a chevy drivetrain in a fox body so the owners will probly have a lot of 5.0 parts he'll be selling cheap. I already called the alum driveshaft though!

alright. I'll keep you guys updated on how it all goes and what we decide.

hey its blake just realized i had a member thing here. but yea im lookin at the vortec 5-6 kit. any one know if that will hurt to run non intercooled and say if i got a pulley for 8 psi would it still be ok? thanks guys[list=1][*]

The 6psi kit is fine to run without the intercooler; however, you could probably get by running 8psi without an intercooler, just make sure you have a good tune and don't really beat on the car a whole lot. If it was me though I would just buy an intercooled kit and be done with it. That way you can run more boost later on but also you will make more power than the non-intercooled.

i have money for 1900 not 3400 .... so thats my barrier ...

Well I would save up just a little bit more and look around. I have seen centri kits intercooled going for 2200-2400 shipped.

where have u seen this ? used or new? and where

corral's classified section is pretty good. They usually have a lot of power adders for sale in there.

Used. Most of the kits for sale also have the supporting mods too (injectors, maf, etc). You can find them all over (ebay, corral, svtp, modularfords, mustangforums, highperformancetangs, etc).

Check out SVTPerformance.com as well. Becareful of the douche bags though, some have a "I own an SVT, I'm better than thou" mentallity.
