    Looking For My First Gt

    I'd keep looking. And don't be afraid to do some traveling to find a good deal. The next thing to consider is how much power are you looking to make? T tops aren't the best thing to have if you really plan on making some serious power. If it were me I'd be looking for a nice notchback.

    Who Has Bought Used Heads?

    What's your end game? What kind of miles are on the lower end? How aggressive is you cam? In most cases I'd suggest sticking with new heads. Buying used heads most times is ok but its still a roll of the dice especially if their aluminum heads. At the very least I'd have them checked...

    Official GT40P headed 300rwhp thread!!!

    Absolutely, I purchased a set of windsor jrs and took them to a machine shop to have them disassembled. Spent a few hours a night for about 2 weeks off and on cleaning up the bowls and smoothing the exhaust ports. Compared to the last set of untouched box stock windsor jr heads I had these...

    Should I delete my ABS?

    Then you don't read or comprehend very well. I'll repeat this just for you. If you decide to take off your ABS, THAT IS YOUR BUSINESS. We all have our own perspective, Im shaing mine.

    Should I delete my ABS?

    Argue no, provide some different perspenctive you better believe it. There are lots of younger guys who come here for advice and I think they deserve both sides of the argument. This subject of ABS has come up before in previous threads and the concensus that I have gotten from them is that...

    Should I delete my ABS?

    So by your argument we should all pull our ABS off because it didn't work out so well for you? You know this is a weak argument, if you wanna ditch some weight just say that. Everyone wants to upgrade and improve everything on the car except the brakes? Larger rotors upgraded calipers and...

    Should I delete my ABS?

    Your argument is ridiculous. News flash buddy you can be the best driver in the world, if you drive on the street you have to deal with idiots. Just today some dumb blonde on the phone pulled right out in front of me. Didn't even look, if she had she would have crapped her pants because I...

    Gt-40 tubular & PIH conversion questions

    Well your buddies do have a point, the intake manifold was never designed to have raw fuel sprayed into it. So the chance of a backfire is possible whether or not your intake manifold will survive the blast I guess is up to the manifold. It is this reason I don't like wet nitrous kits unless...

    300hp mark, what do you think.

    Sorry bro I ain't buyin that either. True enough the stock cam is a decent grind, but even with the 1.7RR's that motor doesn't have enough cam to make that kind of power.

    300hp mark, what do you think.

    Unless there is nitrous involved I seriously doubt that. I agree with adam, I too have seen some rather nice HCI combos that fall short of the 300hp mark. 1.7 roller rockers and a stock cam don't account for much. I don't understand the fuss over the Gt40p heads anyway, there decent heads but...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    Its got nothing to do with the link, I was referring to his previous post before that one. He pointed out that he had an LS1, it was then I noticed the vette in his sig.:D

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    Certainly I would love to see it so long as its a NA setup on a streetable car. Don't assume because im a fan of th LS1 that I don't give credit to the SBF, your making assumtions as if you know me, you don't. I've owned 4 mustangs in my time and raced all of them I am fully aware of what a...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    Tiny bore and heavy pushrods?? Are we getting desperate 5spd? hmmm? Were talking about an all aluminum engine that is as strong as any iron block out there. I seriously doubt the weight of the pushrods is gonna have much of an affect. Tiny bore? Its enough bore to top 500hp with a top end...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    No what I want you to do is show me how to break down a post sentence by sentence. Well if gearbanger is correct and 515hp is based on an almost naked motor with no accessorys sitting on an engine stand. Than everyone knows a stroked sbf will put very close to 400rwhp to the ground so your a...

    You know more about dynos than I do, that does make more sense.

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    Let me get this right, I show you a top end kit that will put out 515hp on a stock LS1 shortblock and your defense is "drivetrain + accessory loss will eat 30% of that power? Well I don't know what you have on your motor but if its eating 30% of you engine power you have a problem. 15% to 20%...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    No doubt your gonna have drivetrain loss, what engine won't? And I think its fair to assume that if your gonna go as far as doing a HCI swap you've already addressed the restrictive factory exhaust. This is usually one of the first mods made. Factor in drivetrain loss, you should still be...
