*tap tap tap* Is this thing on?
#11
Supercharger is in the back of my mind - self-contained, power everywhere, less overall block stress than turboing. I can even buy the Vortech kit new off CFM it seems... minus tuning and a few others. I'd still ping Randy at FSWerks to see if he'd be game to tune. He's a really cool guy and I hope to tune with him yet again regardless of my outcome. I'm still disappointed in FSWerks' stance on automatic Zetec turbos. Let's hope they get back to me and agree to support a kit if I modify the exhaust routing.

Yeah, Todd, I have a feeling they're worried about heated exhaust pipes (heated up vs stock that is) next to the automatic pan. Hell, I'll wrap the downpipe with header wrap if I have to. Turbo is still preferable at this point due to the fact it's a single package - install, add wideband and tune. After that, we start getting into murky waters of custom tuning random kits, etc. At that point, I'd get Randy to sign on tuning a full N/A build if Lentech and my local mechanic buddy can help me find a shorter final drive for the 4F27E. Just run 12:1 or higher comp, cams, header, race cat, full custom cold-air intake... and then tune that.
