Can't stop the madness - Need your advice!
I have the Roushcharger but am looking for even more out of my Roush. I have done 4.10's and the smaller Roush pulley and dyno'd at 389 rwhp.
I only drive in the summer and have never gone to a track or drag raced ever but want to increase my rwhp mainly for increased seat of the pants fun.
I'm looking at my options and need your opinions as I'm not sure of how extreme I should go. I've looked at the smaller pulley, tune and CAI with plugs that should be good to get to around 400 rwhp I think for about $1,000.00. I think this would be fun, but I'm not sure if I'd be totally satisfied.
The next jump is to add in addition to the above a 12%underdrive pulley, Kooks Lt's a new heat exchanger with the above mods. This is about nearly $4,000.00 plus install. Is this too much for just street use? If I'm trying to keep my car for 15-20 years is this too much on the motor for longevity? Do only people who drag race do these types of modifications or would a regular guy who just enjoys muscle cars get his money worth?
I'm also in love with the sound clips of the FRPP Hot Rod Cams and want that "old school" thump.
I have to stop somewhere .... with the $$ , but want a streetable monster that is a handful, but still not psychotic and only meant for the dragstrip.
I need your help.. The winters are long in Minnesota and it get's put away in a couple weeks and I have too long to torture myself deciding on what to do over the winter but I need all of your advice.........
Thanks !!!!
