[itonano]

Hi guys, im very excited, soon my car is going to the garage and a blower Whipple 2.3 HO is going to be installed in my car, and would like to see you opinions of goals to my GT/CS, now running around 330-340 BHP with Borla stinger, JLT and SCT tune.

These are the following mods:
Whipple 2.3 intercooler model
3.25 pulley
Metco 6 rib pulley kit
GT500 fuel pump
Afco fan
Mishimoto radiator
Injectors 48lbs
FRPP TB 62mm
Borla Stinger exhaust
Kooks X O/R
JLT dont know if will fit the new blower
Lito tune

Im running stock heads, stock cam and stock rods and pistons...Should i be worried?
How do you see?

About tree fiddy. lol

Best investment is a good tuner and solid tune. I suggest Lito.

Exactly what I'd do. Go with lito (Manuel, lito is a nickname for Manuelito which is a nickname for Manuel). Keep the spark down to 17 degrees and keep the boost down to a 3.5" pulley. Doing those things will help your motor to survive. Start saving for a built short block because you will want to crank the boost up at some point.

I was at the point to buy your short block Bruceh...
I hope going stroker in the near future, or at least, rods, pistons and crank.

PD: I sent you a MP for the pillar...

One million billion Whorespowers. The engine will explode with 501 or more RWHP.

PM? The pillar pod was taken off the market over two years ago iirc. Any reason for a stroker? It's more money for a longer stroke. The biggest drawback for a mod motor is the small bore and how it shrouds the valves. IMO a stroker just compounds it.

Can you afford to buy a new block?

 

[itonano]

Not now lol, spent all already and part of me.
Next year maybe.

As soon as you ride in Santi's car you will want more boost!

Keep your stock engine below 500hp or 10 lbs boost. And only with a very good tune!

What kind of suspension upgrades do you have? I would focus on that first. Build from the ground up.

 

[itonano]

Kw V1 suspension, UMI upper arm and mount and Bmr Lca

It's hard to say for sure, every car is a little different. If you stay 480-490 rwhp with a good tune the motor should last.

 

[itonano]

Thanks Sac, ok i see i Dont have to pass the 500 líne

Keeping the RPMs down (<6,000) is supposed to help, too. Higher RPMs are harder on the rods. I think by default Lito leaves the limiter higher than 6,000 but allows you to adjust when loading the tune.
