1998 Mustang GT with Allen Supercharger
This is Dave Tanner's 98
Mustang GT. I recommended and installed the Allen supercharger kit
and other performance parts. This was the third Allen install I did
and the first on an automatic transmission Mustang. We did several
other modifications at the same time. The modifications included:
-
AED 4.6L intercooled supercharger
kit
-
C&L 80mm MAF
kit with K&N conical filter
-
Ford Motorsports 30lb/h injectors
-
Aeromotive adjustable fuel
pressure regulator
-
180 degree Hypertech thermostat
-
Pillar mounted boost gauge and electric fuel pressure gauge
Prior to this work, Dave had already installed:
-
Ford Motorsports 70mm throttle body
-
Ford Motorsports shortie headers
-
Bassani high flow X-pipe with catalytic converters
-
Flowmaster mufflers
-
B&M transmission shift kit
-
Ford motorsports 3.73:1 gears
-
Fiberglass hood
I had an entire week to complete this install and the other mods which
really helped. This car has awesome throttle response. All
the Allen installs I did had great throttle response but this one was even
crisper than the others. This was because of the exhaust and intake
mods that were also done to the car. The 70mm throttle body, 80mm
MAF and conical K&N provide almost no sound damping on the intake system.
It is nice and quiet under normal driving but at WOT you can definately
hear the blower. This car has significantly more top end power than
stock as well as tons of additional power down low. At 1/3 throttle
powerbraking it I could not keep the tires from spinning. Acceleration
is real strong yet my mom could easily drive it. If you punch the
throttle while driving 20mph the car will lite up the rear tires most of
the way through 1st and again when it shifts to 2nd. The boost would
instantly go up to 6psi and then climb to about 7psi in the midrange.
This car put out 290HP @ 5450rpm and 335ft*lbs @ 3300rpm at the rear wheels
on a 90 degree day. Impressive considering the air and the engine
were hot and it is pushing it through an automatic transmission as well
as pre-1999 heads.
Here are the track results from Dave's run:
"I had a 1/4 tank of 93 octane, and added enough 104 to bring the gauge
up to 1/2 a tank. The car was carrying myself (195lbs.) a six-pack cooler
full of ice and beverages, a helmet, fire extinguisher, spare tire, jack,
etc. My Goodyear F-1 Eagles are still on the car also, and I did not remove
any air pressure. Air temps were down to about 70 degrees and 2 hours went
by in between runs......rpms at the finish line in 3rd gear was around
5800rpms."

Here are the dyno results. Keep in mind it was a hot day with
a hot engine and pump gas.
