anybody who rembers my problem i was having. well id came back and finally it died totaly and would not restart. i think the starter went out along with whetever the original problem is. so i droped it off at the dealer today. they have no idea what the problem is. their specialist is coming in on monday to look at it. on the plus side i found a donor car and my Interior has never looked so good.
p.s anybody know where to get projector headlights for the classic ? i want to do some nice mods to this car. and i will find a twin turbo kit if i have to make one!!!!!!!!

I really think then that you both should look at a CSC kit instead. You might even get some ideas from the fact that the Shelby Series 1 had it as an option. And now some company sells the engines to put in the Series 1 chasis (they are sold as a kit now to skirt federal regulations). Our exhaust system is way too tight on a FWD car to do twin turbos. One turbo might be possible, but a CSC would fit a lot better.  |

CSC is a MUCH better option if you want to supercharge. Its way better then a Roots style blower because the Roots looses a ton of its effectiveness due to heat. Ask GTP/SSEi guys who bring their cars to the track, its not uncommon to see bags of ice cooling M62, M90 SC's  RSM and Domestic Performance has em I believe. |

CSC? i assume its a supercharger? hmm, do you have any links? Centrifugal SuperCharger. It's like a turbo but driven by a belt. It uses an impeller to compress the air. Companies like Vortec, Paxton, ProCharger, and others use centrifugal s/c's. Here was info on the XMS project which I guess fell off: www.caddyinfo.com/northstarsupercharger.htmThere used to be some info on the Series 1 stuff on Shelby's web page, but that seems to be gone as the company has changed hands numerous times and the car is only offered in kit form now. It was like a $23,000 option on the Series 1, though. I can't remember what company made the supercharger. I thought it started with an "M" but I could be way off. Unfortunately in reality, I think if you want a lot of power, you should just consider a different car. There is virtually no aftermarket for the Premium V8 except in sand cars. But if you don't mind spending a ton of money then I'm sure it's possible to do. |
