motor build done in a few months, would you have done anything different?
Well, I am expecting my motor build to be done probably by fall time. I am starting to wrap up everything as i roll along here. I just wanted to see if there is anything different you fellas would have done. This is basically a complete run down of what the car will have:
1997 GT stock block bored .20
Manley platinum series 18cc pistons
Modmax 4340 Forged h beam rods
ARP2000 rod bolts
8 Bolt cobra crank w/ 8 bolt flex plate
Complete balanced internals
ARP main bolts
ARP head studs
stock OEM side bolts
ARP crank bolt, ARP cam bolts
IW 10% OD crank pulley (8 rib)
Stage 3 MMR PI heads
Crower high lift valve springs
Brand new lifters
Cloyes adjustable cam gears
CMS stage 3 blower cams
Port Matched Edelbrock Victor Jr. EFI manifold
6061 sheet metal plenum
Accufab 75mm throttle body
All new: timing setup, gaskets, water pump, front main seal, rear main seal, sensors, etc.
03-04 cobra HO oil pump with 15/16 pick up tube
Vortech T trim
SCT BA3000 MAF
New plugs
MPH boost pipe
Vortech mini race bypass valve
complete 8 rib conversion with either 2.8 or 2.9 blower pulley
Paxton Front mount intercooler
AIS stage 2 trunk mount meth kit with tri nozzle upgrade
SLP ceramic longtubes
SLP offroad x pipe
SLP loudmouth catback
MSD wires w/ blaster coil packs
Fuel:
Siemen 60# injectors
Edelbrock high flow fuel rails
twin Walbro 255lph pumps
upgraded fuel lines
FPR
Tranny:
Built AODE with BC Auto 3600 stall and Tru cool max tranny cool with custom valve body
Driveline/suspension/tires:
4.10 gears
Trickflow girdle
kyb agx adjustable shocks/struts
eibach pro kit
mm full length subframes
mm caster cambers
steeda lower adjustable ca's
steeda aluminum upper ca's
welded torque boxes
15x10 pro stars wrapped in MT ET street radials 275/60/15 (28")
15x4 pro stars wrapped in Kumho 165R15 skinnies
I'm shooting for mid 500s-600, depending on how much i wanna play with the boost. before on my stock motor i was at 400/400 and that was through stock non pi heads, stock pi cams, stock pi manifold, sq trim, 6 rib, and about 12psi

Dude... that thing will be a beast! Except you should have gotten a beastlier blow off valve. I got the Procharger red race valve. Its supposedly super loud.
Other than that, thats a pretty sick sounding build!

Youre going to be over 600rwhp so I might suggest going with 72's rather than 60's to give you some wiggle room. After everything that youre doing, you might even want to move up to a larger blower than a T trim. Go with Vortechs equivilent to the F1 blower or something. Should be one hell of a beast.
