cool Cheapest 120HP add on?

What is the cheapest way to add 120HP to a daily driver. Daily driver reliability and durability required.

Edge Juiced with Attitudes cts programmer, bigger injectors and a 150gph lift pump.

$830 + $400 + $400 = $1630 plus shipping. Has to be a cheaper way.

I also have a FASS DRP, not high performance, but better than stock.

What about 125HP injectors and a boost fooler? How would it run and drive, and any durability issues?

FASS DDRP can NOT keep up with performance mods..even FASS reps will tell you this...it is meant for a STOCK engine only.

any power adders will require an upgraded lift pump...95GPH+ minimum.

You spent too much...

you can get a complete set of S300/S400 twins brand new for $3000

that's both turbos, plumbing, oil lines, support brackets, aux oil drain, and hardware.

only thing you gotta do yourself is paint it and assemble it on the truck.

Find used go fast goodies, 150hp injectors, edge or quad, possibly smarty, and lift pump and your good to go, until your trans goes

I agree.. Used can be a good way to go...I just sold my old DDP 150hp injectors a few weeks ago for $400. they made me 538hp 1078tq when I dyno'ed with them and most of my current setup (there have been supporting mod additions since then, but they were not power adders...just the new injectors were)

I'm just pretty much at the point now where my tired old SOVP44 is just running out of fuel and can't keep up with the heavy fueling or timing anymore. If I had a fresh SOVP I could probably easily break 600hp with my mods, but my tired old vp just can't pull it off...at least not on a mustang dyno ...could probably pull it off on a dynojet.
