97 svt Snake Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Alright gentlemen and ladies. A buddy has come up with a deal for me. Vortech v7 ysi everything to bolt right up to the cobra. And also brand new crane blower cams. What are your guys thoughts on running this setup on that stock motor 35k original miles? I should be able to have a good tuner keep the boost low to keep power in a good range as not to blow up the motor first drive. Or at least i would think so i cant find a number that says whats the lowest this blower should go to. It maxes out at 30 psi. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have not worked with mustangs and boost yet. Have dabbled in it with building my turbo civic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01yellercobra Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 You'd have to pulley that blower down so much it would be lazy. IMO your best bet would be to buy the blower and stick it on the shelf for a future build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RassCar Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I think you'd definitely see some good gains (depending on boost and whatnot) but you'd have to limit yourself to something below 400whp to keep it safe. The crank is solid, but replace those rods and pistons and you're set for much bigger power. As it is now, I'm not sure the cams would really matter because the bottom end would give way before cams would make a significant difference, though you may want to ask someone with more knowledge on cams than me on that subject. Not sure if this helps or not but there's my 2¢ Actually, take what I've said with a grain of salt until someone else confirms it because there are others on this site with much more experience on this subject than myself.

itsblown93 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Buy a good set of rods and Pistons. Have your heads ported while doing the rods and Pistons. Put the blower on 15-20psi and you'll make a lot of power. even 15-20 psi is low for that blower and not really in its peak efficiency range.

Cobraracer46 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Alright gentlemen and ladies. A buddy has come up with a deal for me. Vortech v7 ysi everything to bolt right up to the cobra. What are your guys thoughts on running this setup on that stock motor 35k original miles? Exsessive RPM's and detonation will destroy the stock connecting rods, so its suggested to keep the rpm's on a stock motor with a V7 below 6K and avoid detonation at all costs in order for the stock short block to survive. Once you are ready to rebuild the short block and outpower any turbo set up with the outstanding V7 blower, I would recomend Manley's new "heavy beam" connecting rods that are specifically designed for supercharged motors. Check out the Manley heavy billit rod specs: 14518-8 Stock Length w/ 22mm pin7/16 ARP 2000 bolts5.933" length 2.239" 680 grams Heavier beam for forced induction applicationsSpecs for the standard 4.6 Ford pro series rod is the same as above except for the weight (602) grams.I wonder how this new 680 gram rod compares with the 650 gram rod made from 300M tool steel? I would also suggest the Manley platinum series pistons with the upgraded tool steel pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97 svt Snake Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 That is some great info. I appreciate the input. I havent fully decided to build it yet as its only got 35k original miles. So ill probably just put the v7 on shelf until build time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsblown93 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I have a hard time trusting a guy who thinks he owns a BLUE 95 when clearly his car is newer and red. if he cant even figure that much out I surely woudnt trust motor advice from him!!!!!! lmfao But yet this is coming from the fella thank asks me questions all the time.
