Well, what makes your entire response meaningless is that my car is NOT a race car. It's a daily driven street car and will never see the track, so the "heaton" as you call it will be just fine.
I've owned an S trimmed car and even with getting a good deal on a complete kit for 2 grand, I still had to buy all the supporting hardware and get a tune which put me over 3 grand. This is a cool little project and it's not intended to compete with competition systems, it's more of a novelty than anything else.
And by the way, tell an 03/04 Cobra with a Kenne Bell strapped to it that a 5.0 with a S trim poses a threat to it! Better yet, tell it to this guy:
double post
Are you seriously trying to compare a Kenne Bell'd 03 Cobra to a stock S trimmed 95??
1500 for a vortech kit?? ill give you 100$ right now if you find a complete kit, and im sorry a car running the vortech kit with 8lbs of boost vs the eaton running 8lbs is not going to kill it, and if you got traction the eaton will kill the vortech on the street on every run!!!!!, you get boost at 3500 rpm with the vortech , you get boost off idle with a roots/wipple/screw type blower, so lets compare you get 8lbs of boost between 3500-6000 rpm or 8lbs of boost between 1500-5500. and you dont need gears to run the eaton, and im sorry its just like anything you polish/powdercoat the eaton setup and pulleys and i believe it looks better then some hunk of **** sitting in front of your alternator making everything a **** to get at because its in the way of everything, i will go out on a limb and say on a street car the eaton will perform better and be alot more fun and not to mention when you pop the hood at a show it wont look like every other mustang there
Last time I checked you don't race @ 1500 rpm....
I didn't say it would be more fun, I said it would be faster if you lined them up in the quarter..
The volumetric efficiency of an Eaton is compared to an S-trim..
The only thing that is harder to get to after the Vortech install is the #1 plug, which can still be accessed from the bottom.. It takes me a half hour and I can have the entire system off. minus the mounting brackets.
And you CAN find a used Vortech for $1500.. Key word.. Used, just like the Eaton that you will be using, plus you don't have to weld on a throttle body and all the other junkyard that Joey used on his "prototype".
