I dropped off the car at GT Motorsports this morning for my engine build
I must say I am extremely impressed with that place, it's huge...very clean the machine shop is amazing, I can't wait to see the results!

 

what are your build specs? expectations? congrats also....

 

Yeah come on, spill the beans, what ya gettin?

 

+1

 

+2 tell us what your doing and what your goals are, both for dyno numbers and the track

 

i agree, very impressive shop - must be 30 cars in there...

 

Come on, specs!!!!!

 

GT Motorsports = win

 

Just wondering tom... Did the motor go?

 

no, motor is perfect, but I knew it was just a matter of time till the rods woud give up.


I am getting a fully build, sleeved Long block, basically the works, ATS dual clutch, oil cooler, upgraded actuators.

Unfortunately I was not able to afford the Fcon for this round so I'm sticking with the Unichip for a few months which will limit the tuning capabilities.

Intial goal is 600whp and then go from there.

Track goal: I want a reliable 10 second car. This first round I'm expecting mid to low 11's due to the high elevation around here.

 

Reliable and 10 second car dont go together, but Im with ya on trying to do it!

 

well, as close to reliable as a 10 second car can be

 

Sam will take care of you...tell him it's not an issue ... he likes when poeple say that

 

Just because your motor is gonna be reliable doesnt mean the rest of the car will.

 

the rest of the car has been upgraded already. The motor was pretty much the last thing that was still oem

 

Your inner CV joints will own you before anything after the build-Im calling it now...

 

I do have the stage II Axles but they do use the oem cv joints.
I thought the Stage III use them as well, if that is the case it should hold ok shouldn't it?

 

Did you find a roll bar for her? I think Jeremy (audiblemayham) is installing a NHRA legal roll bar soon in his beast.

 

Tom, its not an issue. Todd...its critical.

haha..best of luck...you are in great hands with Sam.

 

btw Sam mentioned to let you know for you to remember your statement next time he has to come out there and save you....in response on what you told me to tell him
