Stepping the coupe up a "notch"...

[EPIK]

Whats up everyone. Its been a while since I've posted, but I thought it was about time I came back around & let everyone know what I've had on my plate. I finally decided it was time to step things up a notch. Thanks to a buddy of mine, I now have a new big bucket o' parts in the garage for the coupe.

He gave me a killer deal on this Paxton Novi 1000 kit. Its 100% ready to bolt up, & all I will need is injectors, maf, & a better fuel pump. I still have to fix a few things on my car before this all goes on, & it will most likely be after Xmas before I do so, but after that we will see how long I can get my hypereutectic bottom end to last with some boost.

I plan on running a stock pulley until I can afford to build a forged motor, but I figure with my 300 rwhp HCI setup, this should make for a pretty fun car. I know its just a lil' Novi 1000, but it should make plenty enough power for me.

I guess a nice set of DR's better be my next purchase because traction will most likely be an issue LOL... atriot:

Nice numbers. Im hoping mine will put out around the same, since my NA numbers are 300/320. Im shooting for the lowest amount of boost I can make since I have a stock hypereutectic (spelling?) bottom end...

I like the whistling white power bros name LOL...

If your gonna stay NA, a stock block will easily hold the power, plus it will be lighter. You coming up to Sac?

Thats the plan, i'll stick to 400rwhp and lose about 100lbs off the nose of the car.

D@mn!!! I didn't know Dart blocks were that much heavier? 100 lbs will definitely make a huge difference.

I want to, but it wont work with my MM K member

D@mn!!! I didn't know Dart blocks were that much heavier? 100 lbs will definitely make a huge difference.

Stock block is 95 lbs, and a dart block is 170lbs. Plus a forged crank is 46lbs. Stock is 35. So if i add the dart its adding 100lbs, if i stick with the stock block and go aluminum heads and move the battery and gut the front bumper i can lose 100lbs and cut the total car weight to 2829
