So a centri or turbo then, huh?

[chad05gt]

turbo... but that'd be summer; maybe.

Next winter really.


Itll be fun just running w/ a few extra hp and a lil torque.

It feels GOOD to go race and NOT break something damn near every time.

Sounds nice Chad, who's shortblock is it? :) I'm guessing US-1's.

I have been thinking about getting a shortblock and a twin screw. I have heard so many horror stories from so many people about "every" brand, that I don't know whos block to use. I don't need a 1000 hp monster, but I would like to have a streetable 10 second car. 650 rwhp should do the trick....

The problem is, by the time I get all that work done, all the supporting mods (trans, rear, etc); then pile on the cost of everything I already did, plus the cost of the car, and I will be in the $70,000 range. I can buy a used GT500 and slap a KB Mamoth on it, make 700 rwhp, have room to grow, and spend $25,000 less.

I don't know... maybe I'll just stay NA. That way when I'm spankin' Chad cuz he can't hook out of the hole, or at the 330, or at the 660... I can say "Sorry bro, shoulda' stayed NA". LOL

Lookn forward to it :woot:

This was just the next step, I am good on all supporting mods. Other than a clutch upgrade and new flywheel which Ill do with sb swap.

Just lookn for 550ish here... be able to run 11.50s fully loaded, drive to track, dragradials, full seats, etc. Im sure there will be hard runs when DA is worth the trouble, but other than that... Im good right thrrrr ;)
