its not that bad, but take a 55,000 car and drop 10k in mods on it and what do you expect? Just wait till I put in the built block and fuel upgrades ;-)

sounds like the tires slipped right at the end. good numbers.

I'm in no position to defend either car, but How much $$$ in mods do you have on top of the normal GT price and then into the build work you're mentioning?

JDWalton

theres nothing to defend its a beautiful car, more poking some fun at it then anything, and I am envious but I will be at that power level.

To answer your question if we look at performance I have:
27k car (listed at 32 but rebates and such)
6k Saleen kit
$150 throttle body
$1250 (cams/ springs / phasers)
$850 headers + x pipe

So strictly performance (and car) at 35250 to be at 536 rear wheel. Without the car only in $8250 into performance.

For the work I'm talking, 2k for rotating assembly, 500 for misc parts (studs, oil pump windage tray) 500 in machine work, $90 for a pulley, 650 for fuel pump, 350 for injectors.

So another 4090 and I'll go from my 9.5psi and 536 to 15psi and what i would hope would be 650ish+ and hopefully be into my car (performance wise) $39,340 (or 12,340 into performance)

If that doesnt get me there, I got more plans but i'll see where I sit after this.

i am interested in how it turns out for you, JD.
you have some impressive numbers yourself.
friend of mine has a 07 GT, 2.3 whipple @ 14psi, stage 3 cams and heads, 298 stroker.
it makes 642 rwhp/ and around 580 tq.
so i am interested in how you do with the stock heads.

JDWalton

yeah, theres the plan if I'm not up there ;-) figure the livernois heads, 18% overdrive crank and 8 rib conversion. After that, I wouldnt even try for anymore, it would be what it is for the rest of its life. But thats another like $4,000

Just from reading more of your posts your starting to come across as a bit of a gt500 hater....
Just saying...

JDWalton

Sarcasm is hard to detect over the internet, especialy when people read what they want to see.

Whenever I have said in the past that you can get more power for your dollar, people always turn that into a personal insult and act like I'm attacking them.
