Please Help tuner question for mods.
Ok I am starting over Kind of..... I was going to do A engine build in june (Heads, Cam, Block and spray it with a 150 shot)... But if its not broke why fix it....I havnt blown it yet.
So I have decided to do something this summer that will be much needed next summer '09!
I am going to do a new tranny, suspension and rearend. I am going to go with a c4 tranny... I think is what it was called... Able to hold up to 1000hp..for like $1600 and Im going to go with the 8.8 rear end with Steeda LSD and 4.30 gears for like $1,000 Installed, and I havnt decides on what rear susppension to go with (already Have front with just BBk springs in the back)but with it and subframe connectors shouldnt be more than $1200 and I will be running M/T DRs I already have.
So here Is my question... Im going o push my motor to the max.... About 415whp with some nice old go fast juice. I am going to go get It dyno tuned for everything and I am going to Use the SCT Livewire as my tunner to switch from No2 to n/a. Is this a good tuner for $500????
And with this set up what should I expect my 1/4 mile times to be?
k&n cold air
bbk 70mm TB
BBk Shorty headers
BBk off road x-pipe
flowmasters american thunders
(thinking abou switching all exhaust to SLP Loudmouth II, SLP o/r X-pipe, SLP LT headers, Dont know if its worth the extra $1200)
New Tranny
New rearend with 4.30 gear and LSD
Suspension mods and Drag radials
DynoTune
and....
150-175 shot of good old wet Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS or Nawwwwzzzzzzz)
Then If I dont blow It by last open track day... Its geting hit with a 225 shot just to see what i runs.. if it makes it then It will be geting A fully forged alum block, 4v stage III heads and cam. both good for up to 800hpFuel upgrade and a procharger running enough boost to take it to abot 700whp or more
. already picked up just have to wait for some money comming to me in December.
Well let me know... BTW its all money I have earned through the military, Im not a mommy and daddy boy.
Thanks,
Rhett

RE: Please Help tuner question for mods.
150 shot is skating on the edge with a non-forged 4.6.
you wont see much benefit changing the catback, but going from shorties to long tubes you will get some power.
that rear end 31 spline?
