In all seriousness I am going to be at or near 400 tomorrow, what is the cost of GOING FORGED PISTONS AND CONNECTING RODS?

so you're telling me you couldn't make a car you already have faster than a shelby with $20,000?

:rollseyes:

$10,000 in the case of the bike... but thats assuming he even wants a bike and can ride.. either way.

I've seen package deals Rings/Pistons/Rods for around $1200, check MMR they always have deals, they got a million ads on corral, idk how much the stock GT crank can take, ive heard 600ish but i rly have no clue.

20k is over-kill you could make anything as fast as you want with enough $. drop a new power plant and your set

^ spend $4k on any 2000+ 600c supersport bike and have fun beating 98% of cars on the road.

Sorry about that dude. No ill-will meant. You bring up a good point. Our cars have a cap on what the engine can handle and I have yet to get good info on what kind of $$ is needed to go above the 440-450 rwhp mark.

you will spend alot more money going with a turbo set-up than a supercharger set up and be limited to the same power levels unless you forge your bottom end, then you can go turbo... or you could just go Strim then once u do get around to forging upgrade to T trim headunit for like $1000.

i have forged internals, ported heads, blower cams, all the typical boltons and a Kenne Bell 2.1 @12 psi making 559rwhp. More to be had with the bigger 2.6 KB unit or something like an F1 Procharger.

Turbos have their advantages, but seem to require more attention and money to keep running smoothly.

and to whoever said you should buy an EVO or a Vette to make power....I bought my 03 GT used with 40k on the clock for $14000, a new longblock $5000, KB 2.1 + Tune $6000, exhaust/suspension another $4000.

I can smack the ever-loving piss out of almost every vette Ive come across, even the beloved z06 (below 140/150 mph) for a lot less money than one of those bastards costs.
