having head gasket problems with 5 lb vortech supercharger Hopefully someone can give me some answers to why I am having problems with my super supercharger.
I have an 89 mustang and the motor has over 100,000 miles on it. I would assume. the problem I am having is I keep blowing head gaskets,coolant lines and blew my water pump. Some of the mods already done are e303 cam w/ 498 lift, 110 lph fuel pump, factory injectors, 65mm throttle body factory, MAF pretty much the motor is all factory. I still have the factory radiator.
I blew the head gasket when I rev over 4000 rpms. When cruisen around, the motor would run nice and cool. When I get on it, the head gasket would blow over 4000 rpm's. Could this be not enough fuel and to much timing. I retarded the timing but perhaps not enough.
I am on a 1000 dollar budget and would like to get the super charger running by spring time. Should I put money into better heads and head gaskets or just up my fuel pump and injectors?
Any info and/or assistance you guys can give is greatly appreciated.
