Since that's not your car, I'll go ahead and say this. Those wheels look like dog sh*t. Not liking that look at all.

It would be nice to see what pulley's/CAI/mid-pipe and any other power adders could do to the GT500 hp/tq numbers. That's pretty impresive increase in power if thats just a tune with no add-ons.

Visited a Phoenix,AZ dealership last week for the clutchpack replacment the sales manager told me they just sold a GT500 vert for $14K over msrp.

Would be interesting to know, but unfortunately you won't start seeing results from that immediately. A pulley change on the supercharger is going to require a front snout replacement because of the size not allowing for a smaller pulley. Snout change is around $1100 ( not counting the pulley

) Overdrive crank pulley isn't going to be any easier because of clearance issues with the water pump pulley. Plus, the crank pulley is basically in a basket.

Not saying the mods aren't possible, just saying they are going to be pricey.

Hawgman explained the pulleys and stuff but Im still stumped on how the hell youd change the intake on that... doesnt look like anything out for the GT's or V6's would come anywhere close to fitting... [&:]

It looks to me that he went from 407HP (run 2) to 475HP (run 5). That is a pretty good tune.

As far as the KB and intercooler. Hot engine and stock exhaust (I'm told by the dyno guy that I'm losing 30HP), I pulled 433RWHP at 399 torque.
