On this same site there is a 4.0L for a few hundred dollars more. I'd consider getting it and installing a larger pulley to reduce the boost. If you ever install a better forged rotating assembly, all you'd have to do is put that small pulley back on. Just a thought. It'll give you a lot of room for growth.

Lol I just clicked the first one I saw.

Sob.. I see your not wasting anytime with this..

You do miss the soft top though right

Haha, gotta get it back up to my usual standards! I can't be driving around a stock car!

I'm not sure what else is required to complete that kit though, I wouldn't think just injectors and a tune would make it complete?

Engine is still stock, sir!

Hopefully I won't need forged internals, I don't really want to do a motor swap on this car. I'm still recovering from GT motor swap. My power goals are upper 600's to low 700's, so I don't need something that big.


Oh, and got a bit done today! Got a few things done to the vert, just a few more things here and there and it'll be ready drive out of the shop.

Also, my Koni Yellow's came in today thanks to Cam(GallopingFord)! Got them installed along with BMR Springs! I didn't think BMR springs would go that low honestly. The front is just way too low now. Pics tomorrow, since she is filthy!

Whipple 2.9 is all you need, it'll get you to high 6's low 7's easily. It'll push 800's on race gas.

I'd replace the heat exchanger in it first thing.

Things to do with the blower, would be 72lb injectors, CJ65 TB, KB Dual BAP, JLT 123/127 CAI, then long tubes and an offroad pipe.

Should put you in the low to mid 700s depending on the pulley.

Edit: That 3.4L Kit from JPC, ya you'll need injectors, tune and bap since you have a pre 2011.

What if I just got the 2.9 Tuner kit? Wouldn't the stock injectors and stock fuel pumps suffice for 650 whp? I know they are supposed to support that power with the VMP TVS.

I sent you a PM.

unfortunately, you need to remove the whipple 2.9 to do injectors, so you may as well upgrade them while it is off.

Fuel injector connection.com has the modified 72lb ev14 bosch injectors for $480, you can sell your stockers for about $150.

It should be able to? My buddy has a 09 gt500 n it did 575rwhp with just intake pulley n tune. He never changed any fuel system stuff.

Big thanks to "Seer" for taking the time to educate me in regards to the GT500. I pretty much have my mind made up on the 2.9L Whipple. It seems like the best choice for me right now, and should leave room to upgrade if I ever need to. Thanks man, you were a big help!

Just ordered a WOT box thanks to Jeremy for the great deal, also have an SOS dual gauge pod on the way. I'm planning on installing my innovate LC1 wideband and autometer cobalt boost gauge along with my raptor shift light.
BMR Panhard bar is here, just need to install it.

The front end sits REALLY low, I absolutely love the rake it has. I may end up swapping out the front springs for something else though, since these are BMR springs for a GT.

So, as promised here are a few pics from a meet we had on Sunday:

 

[HEMI LOL]

dat rake.

[mikeyfitz]

Is it just me, or is your front chin fucked up?

 

[AbdullaGT500]

Bahahaha!

Is it just me, or is your front chin fucked up?

Nope, it is fucked up. I have a new one sitting here, I just forgot to swap it out until I was too tired to swap it out. The old man I bought it from got a little too close to a curb.

 

[mikeyfitz]

Bahahaha!
