Thread: Info please?

I was on the dipyourcar forums and I ran across this. Anyone know about this kind of setup?





I never knew these came supercharged so I'm very curious.

Geez. Sexy. Would have never guessed that was under that hood. I think that was the plan lol. Thanks for the info.

Pretty cool indeed.

That would be Scott Vitelli (Dr. FrankenCougie or BigScott on most forums) and his 94 Cougar "Cougie". He also has a nice 98 Lincoln Mark VIII "Linky".

Here's what I have from back in '02 on it:

'94 Cat,'01 Cobra short block (Manley rods, B&B'd, CP forged pistons, Moly rings, ARP hardware, .020 over, Polished Cobra crank,) '99 PI 2V heads (CNC ported and polished, SS valves, Ti retainers, HD springs, 3 angle VJ), Extrude honed manifolds, MSD DIS4, Custom exhaust, '03 Cobra intake tube, Dual bore Maraurder TB, Custom M90 roots blower setup, Custom dog food bucket air box, 90mm LMAF, 42 LB injectors, Pro Torque TC, M8 Drive shaft, FRPP 3.73 pumpkin, Custom valved Bilstiens, Eibachs, Kenny Brown suspension braces, Addco 1 3/4 sway bars, 245/40/18X8fr & 275/45/18X9R, and more custom stuff every day.

And yes, some STOCK T-birds and Cougars came S/C'd. The 88-89 Cougar XR7's were a blown 3.8L, and the 94-95 Birds could be s/c'd as well. Not quite what Scott has done, but they did come with an Eaton on them.

m90 is what you put on it if you want to scare mother****ers.

but not with that giant ass pulley.

theres a roush kit that people commonly run 2.55" pulleys with.

That screams something fierce.

its an m90, its pretty limited.

m112 or tvs1900 or 140ax would be a better choice.

perhaps a pair of turbos?

True. I can't remember what the final numbers were. I know back in '02 he ran a 12.7 with that setup. Full weight. That Cougar is setup to run the twisties, not really the 1/4. The aftermarket for the MN12/FN10 platform sucked, and still does, lol... Not many choices out there w/o having a deep wallet. There some SVO's out there.
