Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance SVT SC Upgrades

Ok folks,
I'm putting the following things on my 99 SVT, and I've got a couple questions about where I ought to be looking next. I'm putting on the supercharger, along with Sho Shop Y-pipe (w/ hi-flo cat), and borla exhaust.
Are there any other things which I should address along with these to make everything work better? I read some comments that the SVT runs extremely rich from the factory. Should I be looking at replacing my MAF setup? I'm mostly curious if there are more large corks to remove that wont be too expensive.
Additionally, I'm really wondering about where to go with my suspension. I'm at 45K miles, and need to replace what's there, I'm torn between Koni adjustables and Eibach or something similiar, or just going w/ the BAT Euro suspension kit, which I am told is what is delivered on our car over in europe, and is 10% stiffer than factory. I would like to kill some of the lift and dive I get when driving, and would like the car to be less "floaty" at 100mph, but I dont want the car to ride like a rock, nor do I want to kill the beautiful neutral handling of the car. Lastly, I dont want to lower the car much at all, as I have troubles not scraping pavement when I get in and out of places as it is. Any folks who've had suspension upgrades care to comment?

Thanks

your worried about cost with a s/c y-pipe,borla?????

What makes you think I have a lot of money left after buying the SC, borla, and sho-shop y pipe??

Well ikarius I will be anxiously awaiting for when all of this work will be done!

You might want to think about getting a quafie limited slip differential. True that you don't need it, but people brake the stock differential without a supercharger!

I also hope that you are going to come to our bay area meeting on the 22nd!

Sigh, I'd love to make it to the meet on the 22nd, but I'm going to be in LA that weekend =(

Next meet?

Ikarius you might want to 2nd thought that sho pulley. I'm almost 100% sure that to run the supercharger you will need to use your stock pulley, so save yourself the trouble......

I nominate H&R's for springs, left my struts factory till they go, love the look and feel the way it is now. Good luck on the S/C I will be starting my install soon (tired of looking at a S/C in a box )

I am pretty sure that you cannot use a UDP with teh blower....sorry

Hrmm, how did people get the idea I'm putting on an underdrive pulley? I dont have that part, wasnt planning on installing it...

I am going to have to go with either braindamage or too many drugs in school....that and I cannot read. But if you did want a pulley you could not use it so there.... :p
