I'd start with svtperformance.com. Then hit up corral.net. There's also hi-endauto.com. They deal mainly with Terminators. Rtvickers turned me on to them.

1987LXVert
10-15-2012, 09:54 PM
hi-endauto is who bought my 04. He wired the money to my account and had a local guy here pick it up and deliever it to him. Bought it from me for $20k and had it sold before he even got it back to his place for $24500. Yeah I checked corral and svt but seems as if everyone is a thousand miles away.

This one is over in Southern Indiana....Bloomington I think. I'd look it over pretty good though based on the engine pics...looks like it's at a used car dealer ?
He's already dropped the price by 1k, maybe he'd go lower ??

My advice is be patient! They will come out some in the winter, guarantee it. I have been browsing some lately and have come across 3 lower mileage very clean coupes for $17-18k. Miles ranged from 35-50k. They are out there, but you have to sort through the nut jobs asking $25k for a stock eaton car with 25k miles lol. I know where a 24k mile wrecked black 03 is right now...good price too.

Usually doesn't bother me when it comes to getting a car but wasn't feeln it this time around!! I'm pretty content with $16000 for an 04 vert clean title with all the bolt ons and build #19.

Silver. I just about bought a white 04 vert that is built and has 100 miles on the rebuild. The car is in Michigan and can be bought for $12k. Real nice condition. Just didn't want another white stang. I have the guys contact info if anyone wants it. He is a dealer but is a mustang nut like all of us. He will ship the car to Cincy for $240. Needs tires and brake pads. Has a alot of mods. I think $12k is a hell of deal on the car!!

Kenne Bell and the Eaton scream good. Im not sure about the TVS. I have a whipple and mine screams some. Heres a recent video of it on the dyno for some reference for you. I think it will depend on how small of a pulley you put on your supercharger. The smaller the pulley the more it will scream. Mine is a gen 1 2.3 with a 3" pulley. I also have a 2.7 Im putting on soon. And by the way your car is beautiful.

It is a V+ steg that is now a Modified Stock TB blower. I had a Dragon TB on it and it was more than a pain. The car made 501whp SAE with a 2.8 upper. I installed the blower and Adam at Easy Street did the tune though the tuning was done when he was at Cincy Speed

When I was in an 04 cobra, the best ported blower out there was by posi performance in Louisville. But they are all pretty much similar when it comes down to it. My 04 made 510/501 with a stage 5 steggy, and 2.8 pulley, intake, exhaust.

I got my ported V+ for 699 on Svtperformance and sold my stock blower for 250+ a PS3 game. Not bad considering the power gain. I visited Stiegemeier over the summer to trade my Dragon for a stock ported version to fit my V+. It looks like he working on a M112 with M122 rotors. He also had a bunch of light weight rotors that were just machined.
