Man this site is going down and going down fast.


What is so hard to grasp about 315hp Vulcan considering all the market modifications: superchargers, pistons, cranks and exhaust/intake.?

My Duratec Taurus pulled 265hp but I am not willing to spend the money on this like I did on it, plus two of the companies I bought alot of parts for are no longer in buisness.

My SHO is my project car and I have spent close to 8k on it but it drowned and at the moment it was easier and cheaper to do this swap than to get it fixed.

Now if you wondering why I dont just get a universal supercharger for my contour it is because I am not wanting a street racer, I am wanting a sporty daily driver.

So if you have a bare 3l engine then a set of MSDS headers, SVT cams, light headwork and intake work in the form of porting, open exhaust, and finally a retune of the PCM with SVT timing tables ought to make the engine produce an additional 50 HP over a STOCK 3L engine.
With an ATX, that may not help a lot though.



Thank you Warmonger, here is what I already have in my garage left over from another project.

Borla Cat-back Exhaust splits into a dual (Contour)
Helix Cut Cold Air Intake (V8 SHO...I have a pipe bender)
ROSS Pistons (3L Duratec)
Pelican Steel Valves (3L Duratec)

I'll try and keep everyone updated as I go along.
