Thanks for the good luck, now I just need to start saving. I'm sure I'll have the suspension mods, and gears before the S/C, but hey gotta start somewhere. 350rwhp is alot, compared to what I have now. Sure I'd beat bolt on's GT's (except Codes, LOL) but hey its a start and it will be a sleeper to all these newer GT's and Machs and older Cobras. And with just the 1.7 and nothing else, I really dont have to worry about blowing an engine and f*ckin with the internals. When the cars paid off, I plan on getting a forged short block and turboing it, but thats wayyyyy down the road.

 

don't get down 01... I've had plenty of that... just last week a SN cobra did that to me by 1st he was at my rear bumper and he missed 2nd so I put a half a car on him and then he blew by me like he picked up 300 HP and put about 4 cars on me within about 5 seconds...
one think to keep in mind, when you get that KB and start putting major numbers down your auto will be better than a manual with a tune (in most cases)... seems like the more power that get's put down on a manual the more driver mod's fault
launching won't be a science either

get that KB and you will be good to go IMO [sm=smiley20.gif]

 

I'm trying not to get down, I just dont want to keep being victim of cars I know I should be beating. Then I own a nice car, nice new house and cant afford mods for the ride. Its ok, because the credit cards are on their way to being paid off and I soon I will be promoted and making about $500 extra a month. If I can remember right, a guy with just a 1.7KB with exhaust and tune ran a 12.9 I believe in the 1/4. Which he was manual, so hopefully a 13.1 or so wouldnt be bad. But then I could atleast keep up with LS1's and shock the **** out of them.

 

If you're accurate that you'll be getting 350rwhp I see high 12's. Which should be enough to handle anything (stock) with the exception of ZO6 or C6 Vettes, Vipers, Shelby GT500, and Terminators. Stock F-bodys, most C5's and any GT should get handled.

 

I'm not saying exactly 350rwhp, but pretty close. You figure with exhaust and a tune only, I might see 235-240 at the wheels. Then you add the 1.7 KB, which might give about a 40% increase, than you get about 330rwhp. Which like I said, if I run about 13.2 or better I would be happy, because theres only about 10% of cars on the streets that run faster. So I would be happy with about 330rwhp and 13.2 in the 1/4.

 

LOL you will be way suprised then if you plan on doing 13.2.... I definitly see you breaking 12's, espessially if you widen your stock rims and get a good set of BFG's with the suspension work.... I do 13.7 N/A and I know a 1.7 is good for more than 5 tenths

 

I found #'s for a stock 2v with a 1.7 KB (non-intercooled) at 6 psi.

Go there and the first dyno chart they show is for a stock 2v. I would say I was right on par, because they have 351rwhp with this kit, but if you look at their stock rwhp, it is at 245. So you figure about 20rwhp less, than 330 is about right. But then you figure my o/r h-pipe and hopefully by then I'll have SLP LM1's, so I guess about 340rwhp. 340rwhp makes 01SilverGT = HAPPY.

So I dont have to start a new thread, does my 01 GT have the 8.8" rear end? I was lookin at gears and wanted to make sure I needed the gears for the 8.8" rear end. Thanks

 

yes it's an 8.8

 

Thanks man, I was checkin out the package with 4.10 gears and the diablosport tuner and purple gear oil. I think its a good deal, and hopefully what I'll be getting.

 

a properly tuned PI 2V running 10 PSI should pull almost 400 rwhp. i have seen plenty do this at moudlar powerhouse. i saw a v6 pull 325 with 13 PSI intecooled from a vortech!
