00 gt auto
Here's my new dyno numbers. The graph is my new numbers. The only addition was the novi 1000 running an 8lb pulley. The second graph are my numbers minus only the paxton. (however convertor wasn't locked that run so the number is slightly low)
Here's the thing though. I've started modding this car heavily in the last 3 weeks and seem to be doing things and immediately after doing something else wanting more power so I need a game plan to save myself money and do what I want from the start. For starters I hate my auto so I just bought a t-56 MGW shifter, 26 spline liberty input shaft, spec stge 3+ clutch, fidanza billet flywheel. But I want more power.
My dyno guy things I should do a 4v swap. and while I have the money I really think that my goal is achievable with some of the parts I've already put a bunch of money into.
Doing the 4v swap and bumping the power to 550-600 rear wheel would probably cost me 12 grand plus inc labor.
What I'd really like to do boils down to two choices and I need your guys help. I'd ultimately like to see 550-600 hp at the rear wheels.
I can
1) put a meth kit and Air to Air on the car and run a 13lb pulley on the paxton and that will put me near the 480hp mark, which isn't my ultimate goal but fine for a few months for me to get used to the new tranny and new power. I questioned it being the stock block because of what I've read on here but he says he's done it and has friends with it and it will hold. This guy REALLY knows his stuff but I just wanted to see what you guys thought about this. It is my first choice in the next step for my car because I've sunk alot of money into the car already, this won't cost that much more, and I'd be able to use these parts with the next step as well. The only reason I wouldn't want to do this is if you guys tell me my block won't hold and it will die.
2) I found a teksid block .020 over je 17cc dished forged aluminum pistons forged i beam rods ...steel crank with ford racing oil pump. I can get it for 2 grand or better. Problem is when I was talking to the dyno guy he said probably about 2300 to install, which seemed kinda high to me. I did my own heads and cams couldn't imagine that labor. I would do it but the problem is I don't have my tools or capabilities where my car is presently located. In addition to that I would go to a paxton 2000 head unit with the meth and a to a intercooler and then I'd be right where I want at the 600 or so rear horse. My major concern with this is the pricey install with block and the total cost being a tough pill to swallow with all the money I just put in.
What do you guys think? I really need some help deciding here. I really want to do number one but don't want to blow up my block before I really want to go forged. However, if that install number is really high and I could work him down because it should be less I'd really like to do that as well...uggghhh
