Ok I know both are good for about 100hp my thinking was if i run juice it only puts the engine under strain on the track where the super is there full time just wondering what everyone thought. and since noone has seen it this is what its going on :cool:

The stripe seems to get two responses they like it or think its the same as you the stripe is actually reseced in the lip
 
Spray it if you are on a budget, and when you can afford it supercharge it . Then if you want to go really fast supercharge and spray it.
 
Get the right SC and you will have enough on your hands to not even need any juice.
 
true.. do you have a roots style on yours or a twin screw?
looking at your picture, it looks like a KB.. so i am guessing twin screw for you.

whats the chance of that working with a stock hood?
 
If money isn't an issue I would go with the supercharger.

The terminator motor fits unter the stock gen2 hood. You should be fine with a KB too.
 
I would turbocharge it so I won't loose Low End HP and Torque and install a Pulley Kit for less strain on the motor and run 9 pounds of boost all day

if you can do the work yourself, you're looking at around $1500 for twin turbo kit for a foxbody including intercooler and $1500 for boost controller, etc., and also plates and pipes for doing your own adapters and pipings

Turbocharging will make you loose low end but have increadable top end. I think you meant it that way.

Supercharging has great all around performance.
 
another thing to remember

nitrous is like having your own atmposphere in a bottle, which is key when it comes to going fast.

WHATEVER! Looks like crap! This is my opinion though, and it only matters that you like the stripe... recessed in the lip. :D

Carry on.

ur a fu ckin a$$. Every responce u make is negative i've noticed. i respect that you speak ur mind, but christ. take ur fu ckin water pill.


anywho, like the car but it should be lowered. If u want constant power go for the forced induction. If you want to f around here n there go for the n0ssss...
 
Great lookin mark, but you need to sensor lower that baby!

I plan on running a Zex Dry Kit on mine. with the window switch and purge kit, and bottle heater, it will be right around $1000.

The absolute cheapest your going to get away with an SC setup is about $3000, and thats for a used cintrifugal kit plus everything else youll need, and decent tune.

Ill do a blower if I win the lottery. lol.
 
if you have the money get blown
don't forget n02 adds up last time I bought some it was $4 a lb and you can go through 10lbs a night easy
 
it has been lowered since the pic and ya not a big budget and the only time i really open it up is on the track what else would i need with a zex dry kit other then the kit

Hmmm... I don't think its that simple for a mark... I still don't think there has been one done. If a kit ever comes out I will the FIRST to sign up :)
 
If all you want is 100hp, spray it. If you go to the effort of supercharging it, you'd better be making more than 320rwhp...
 
Each power adder has it's own benefits and drawbacks. You should ask yourself a few questions to determine which one you want.
How much money do I want to spend?
How much power do I really want?
Which power adder will get me there?
How am I going to use the car after I modified it? (why am I doing this in the first place?)
Talk with people who are using their Marks in the same manner you want to use yours and find out what actually works for them.
We all can say what are opinions are but only those who have done it can speak from experience. They are the ones who you should listen to.
Now, my opinion: If money is not an issue, SUPERCHARGE IT!
If money is an issue, start with spray. It may get you where you want to go. If that 100 horses you picked up isn't enough, you're not out a lot of $$$$. You will then have some experience which will help you choose another method. And you can still use your spray along with your next choice if it isn't enough.
SPEED COSTS MONEY. HOW FAST DO YOU WANT TO GO?

It's spelled "response", not "responce".

And if every... responce (as you call it) I make is negative, then you either a:fail at reading comprehension (we can see you already fail at writing skils), or
b: you are pulling these stats about every comment I make being negative out of your rectum.

Personally, I'm inclined to go with a little bit of both "a" and "b".

As far as the... respect you may have for speaking my mind... That's nice. But frankly, I really don't give a rats arse about your respect for my speaking my mind.

Any other rants you'd like me to respond to? If you do have more, PLEASE, make them legible, OK? Like, for example, "u" is a letter, not a word. If you're too lazy (or too damned stupid) to not be able to type in complete words, then you, again, fail at arguing.

Now, go look at some shiny cars and start dreaming.
 
98CobraStarLSC, if you are talking about a Gen ll then a spacer about 1" thick between the front frame and sub frame should get you the clearance needed to clear the pulley. There have been several cars put together already only using the Eaton SC which also not a bad setup, especially if you can get an engine and SC complete. Yes I have the KB setup at 13lbs and Intercooled.
