2.4 Possible build options

I've pretty much gathered all of my bolt ons and am trying to decide my next step with my balt. so far i have i/h/e/catless dp and tranny mounts. Im getting the ttr solid engine mount and that will finish it off for now. I do intend to go turbo with the hahn kit, but I just got my car in february and i do not want to boost it so fast. I'm going to tune soon but after that is where im getting lost. I know wutever i do know I'll have to change when i turbo but im fine with that so im down to a few options now.

1-custom grinded cams w/tune

2-cams and 50 shot

3-50 shot of n2o by itself.

If i do option 1 will the cams HAVE to be removed when i turbo if they aren't aggressive? and If I were to tune my car now, would I need to re-tune for the n2o or will it be fine with whatever tune i get with my bolt ons? My dilemma is that i dont want to have to keep tuning for each additional mod since they will no longer be small like an intake or exhaust mod. Any help i can get to lead me in the right direction is fine.

spray you don't need a tune, its a nice thing to have but a wet kit you don't need one. Cams i wouldn't get if i were you b/c it will make tuning the turbo that much harder. sure more power but more time setting it up. I would personally just get a nice 75-100 shot and enjoy it. that should be getting you 13s.

well a vendor on here said id be ok with a tune and a 50 shot. I like the idea of having a tune cuz it gives u more power and i could possibly raise my redline if im still making power up top. It also gives u some better gas mileage and thats gonna be a big plus when i go back to school

A full bolt on 2.4 with a 75 shoot will put out some good numbers

This is Flytrap a member on here and a friend that I work with on my tune.
His mods are the same as your minus the TTR mount

nice.. 75 shot seems too big to me cuz im a bit nervous, but in n2o talk does the shot equal wheel hp or wut? cuz from wut ive seen it seems like if its a 50 shot the car is actually getting more hp than that. those are some really nice numbers on a 2.4 tho without boost.. I believe that would keep me happy till i can scrounge up the $$ to turbo.


edit. about wut whp range do u think a 50 shot would make? that looks really promising, but the dyno i use is a dyno jet. From wut im seeing his setup on a dyno jet would be in the 270+whp range? that's crazy

He has HPT as well, we where both working on it. But because it was a wet kit we did not alter any fuel tables only spark tables.

That makes me wanna drive down to fl so u can tune my car.. I love the numbers u put out on a mustang dyno. Is ur tb ported or do u have a different one cuz ive seen that on the dyno list by ur s/n. That'll probably be the last thing i do before I tune and then ill throw on the shot.

Just a slight port and polish on the throttlebody, nothing huge. But if you compare to a stock one you will notice that it is alot smooter on the inside.
