well the budget isnt too much of an issue as i want to get as many parts as i can stockpiled then when i get some time away from working get them installed and or worked on. Im after some serious power just dont know if i want to go forced induction yet. I wantr to build up the motor first then probably later add a s/c

around 300rwkw is the best that can be acheived without a built, High compression, cammed motor.

yeah im looking to get more than that so i want to work the motor to eventually handle a s/c. If it was an older v8 id be putting a stroker kit through it but im not sure if there are anything like that for this motor. Basically i want to pull her apart and go back in with stronger performance parts to handle and provide more hp.

I am no expert here but I thought that the Boss engines took very well to forced induction and can make upwards of 300RWKW without being opened up. Wouldnt that be a good starting point then look at what needs to be done internals wise to up the boost.

yeah iv heard the same thing, basically can bolt on a s/c with only a few mods and custom tune but i didnt want to just throw on a s/c i wand an extremely strong starting point before i s/c her. If i can get 300rwkw+ before charging her id be in a better place power wise.

The Boss can handle massive power. An old friend of mine has a BA II GT-P pushing 460 rwkw on a stock bottom end with a Vortech supercharger and 4.11 diff ratios.

Bloody hell!!! Thats the sort of numbers id be chasing but where im located i do alot of highway driving so i dont know if the 4.11's will be practical but i do like the sounds of it. Do you know what other mods they have done to the GT-P?

Unfortunately i only see him on the odd family occasions. He dosent bother to keep in touch since he got married and had a kid. The last mods i know of are having a strenghtened 6 speed manual with short shift and drive train, Flash tune, Intercooler fitted, had cams at one stage but i think he went back to stock ones, 19 inch wheels, lowered. Maybe more done since ive last seen him. The car was featured in Ford magazine a while back.

If i remember correctly the cams were causing the car to run worse and it didnt want to idle very well.
Its been a while  I know he spent a s**t load of money on it thats for sure.

yeah my missus has a GT-P with cams and it doesnt always like to idle properly either. I know these things can get very expensive but if done properly well worth it

If moneys no option then I would
1) di filippo twin 3 inch system with cats and extractors 2) Bluepower CAI 3) Kenne belle or yella terra supercharger 4) Billet underdrives and Billet oil pump gear 5) 4.11 diff gears 6) Flashtune all that should give you enough power to kill yourslef a couple of times haha. obviously you may need to upgrade transmission, brakes, etc to acommodate the huge increase in power. I wouldn't bother wuith cams, remember you have a quad cam motor which means big money for small gain in relation to a supercharger etc. The bottom end on these motors shouldn't give you too many problems, however someone on here with more experience then me may be able to give you more of an insight.

cheers mate thats sort of the way im thinking, it already has the big brembo brakes on her so stopping isnt an issue but will definatly have to look at the box and driveline.
