I have a 306 with ported edelbrock performer heads, e303 cam ,ported edelbrock performer manifold, 30lbs injectors with matching pro m 70mm thorttle body. I want to put a votech s trim on. My car is my daily driver and I was wondering if that will be compremised with the blower.Also it is a 5 speed with 3:55 gears. I will most likley change to a custom grind cam to suit the s trim and bigger injectors. I dont mind fuel mileage as I do the the way it drives in traffic. oh yeah I think I want to run the s trim at 9 psi.
thanks for any info. [patriot]

just get a $500 beater for a daily driver then feel free to do whatever you want to your stang with no worries involved. Personally I don't see anything wrong with your mustang remaining a daily driver by getting the s trim, you sure would get to work allot faster [Big Grin]

i was running stock ported heads and intake with an e cam and 8psi charger, drove it for about a month before i sold it, the car ran just fine in traffic, and it wasnt even tuned, i would say it would be a just fine daily driver, just get it tuned and find a gas station that has a hot girl workin there because u will be there alot [Whoo Whooooo!]

I would daily drive it, but its hard to get in/out of my garage and its much nicer to take a pickup to the beach with boards in the back.

If it is tuned right you should have no problems. You could make anywhere up around 400+rwhp. Be sure to upgrade that fuel system though, get a tune, and be sure your cooling system is tip-top [patriot]

My 93 is daily-driven, has 3.55's....and 10 psi! [burnout]

Not a single problem out of it, just stay outta the boooooooosssst and you'll pass at least one gas station on road trips.

I havent had the motor built yet. So I dont know as of yet. I was going to build a NO2 motor but some other things could be happening. From the combo above is there anything that will be a bottle neck or limit the potential of that blower.
What injectors should I use?
