Hey everyone woundering witch way to go supercharging my 01 GT 74K 2v with a KB or procharger or should I wait n just build me an engine regular or stroke out I'm woundering if my stock engine can handle a blower or not one of the two is going to happen just need some advise on witch way to go.anyone hav some suggestons thks...
01 GT Supercharge it or build an Engine for it?

you should be able to run 6-9psi on stock internals pretty good. but that wont make insane power. depending on how much you want/what to expect build the internals one winter then supercharger it the next or something like that.. i'd build up the motor first, and maybe rear end. A friend of mine put 10 grand into a 4v 4.6l in internals and supercharger and is pushing 600hp safely
yeah ur right I knew the build was the way to go I didn't want to be worrying about the internals.My goals are to build a sleeper 2v so I can surprise n eat my homies 01 n 03 Cobra n shut all those 2v haters up.Was thinking of dss 302 block or a windser n let them pack it with eagel internals not sure yet n twisted wedg heads comp cams hav any thoughts on it?
How much power are you actually looking for????
You could go with a inter/aftercooled supercharge setup to pick up good power for now (High 3xx to low 4xx's) safely... they say 420-50 is around the limit for us 2vs... Building the engine will be good for when boosted but I think I would enjoy the lower boost levels first then build an engine for when you want to bump the boost!

I don't even know if getting that much power out of an NA 2v is possible, if it is, I doubt it will be in anyway streetable.
Hell, the LS1 motors need a whole head/cam setup to hit 450rwhp and they're a lot better for NA setups than the 2v are
Just look a couple of threads down at this thread:
http://www.newyorkmustangs.com/forums/trick-flow-2v-top-end-kit-summit-t23009.html
A whole top end kit and they hit 390 at the motor, so you're looking at approximately 320-340 or so at the wheels
Before you do anything, take awhile and research what the 2v are capable of and what is worth doing to them

This seems like the best way to go, but before you build the engine for more boost, make sure you build up the rest of the car to not break/actually be usable. Don't ignore the transmission, suspension, rear end(not really sure if this applies to the 8.8" rears), etc.
It's not all about power. It's about power that won't break the car the second you press the pedal while also not making you spin into the nearest tree

I'm not sure if it's the best stroker kit or not but I am planning to get the MMR 900 street stroker in the future. Their website lists the assembled shortblock at $3199. Modular Mustang Racing
I'd say something along them lines would set you up to do pretty much whatever you wanted to do. Hell, with that shortblock & the twisted wedge top end kit you should be over 350 at the tires. I can't see making much more then that from a n/a 2v. She would also be set for any SC or turbo in the future.
I do believe there are a few people with stroker motors on here. See if you can stalk them down and see how they like theirs.

Hey guys thanks great input I need you to help me dicied what combo to go with so far I like the cobra internals dimond piston I'm going to keep comparing 5.0 stroker kits to see what sounds best for my application if anyone know of a better stroker kit please post it or a better engin set up thanks again everyone later on I'll post what I went with...

Well if the blower at 9-10 PSI is pushing out around 450 whp and the safe limit for 2v is 420-450 it does make sense to build up the motor first than not constantly having to worry about blowing your engine or even blow your engine. Also why not get Cobra internals? The crank is forged, the pistons are forged also. They are Manley pistons if I recall correctly so you know that they are good. Also don't forget your bakes!!!! VERY important to upgrade them when adding any type of power adder in my opinion!
See I've been planing this for a while now I've been doing thing backwards I've done the suspension all lowered ebach sway bar n spring MM control arms caster camber plates n did rear eton posi 373 gears alum drive shaft all that stuff is set n now I'm ready to go for the main stuff n now I want to build my motor to be ready for what ever I decied to install SC or turbo n not hav to worry about anything internal.well thats my plan what do you think guys
