Spacifically, which set up would you be most confident in if you were driving about 600miles and ended up in a 6 hour traffic jam in 100 degree F heat??

Stock shortblock.

True, common kits now you guys... no fair 2 bottles of NO2 used on some exotic set up, or an attic fan on the hood.

As power is all of our main concern, piece mind and a good, reliable product will be my selling point.


Thanks for your time

What?? I think I understand the question....are you asking what combinations would be best in reliability in a daily driver car that sees a lot of use?? The most reliable is always mild motor mods such as CAI and exhaust for example, for major power though I would go with performance cylinder heads and cams over anything else. Thats the way I'm going and if I decide on a charger later it will benefit more form heads and cams anyway.

Apprec..

That is where I am going; just wanna avoid any problems, yet get a lil more...

I think Im leaning toward Livernois stage I, and Comp. Stage III, locked full advance, and new timing gear/chain...

Selling built trans, clutch, tri axe shifter, and Spydershaft... going TR-6060.

I hate the money/power ration... but reliability is it for me now.

Honestly, I would not be worried in the least bit with my whippled 05 gt in a traffic jam. My dummy coolant gauge actually displays a cooler reading since I got it (1/4 instead of 1/2 way up lol). Hell, even if it did start to get hot, just turn it off. I would probably do that anyways just to save gas (especially with my 13.77mpg heh).

A little off-topc, chad, but what gaskets are you using on your hooker lt's? My passenger side has a leak and I think it's a gasket problem (tuner thinks the header has a hole but he's probably wrong since the guy i bought them from had no problems and i know the guy and rode in his car before he got rid of them).

Superchargers don't really make much heat just sitting there at idle, the reason they make heat is because air heats up when it is compressed. Since superchargers spin slow at idle, they shouldn't cause any problems. If you are concerned with bang for your buck, then superchargers are just about impossible to beat. I have seen plenty of aftermarket radiators good to 700 hp if you are that worried about heat.
