Okay I'm kind of taking this opportunity to think aloud. I've been thinking about what I'm going to do with my car. I'm turning 19 in a month, and one day I want to have my car be fast enough to run low 10's and not need to worry about ANYthing on the street, including those darn turbo Supras.
Right now I have a 99GT with a MPH Vortech sq mongoose kit, mph powerpipe, plenum, tb, and a mac catback as far as the engine goes. Prior to the powerpipe install, the car made 358whp on the dyno.
I'd like the car to be somewhere around 650whp. Here are my questions:
Would this be enough power to do <10.50?
If I just got a forged short block, traded the sq for a t-trim and got a smaller pulley, would that be enough? Or do I need heads too?
If your goal was to take a 358whp stock-engined GT and make it fast, what would you do, what's the cheapest way?
I know i seem kind of all over the place, but any input is very appreciated, thanks guys
