A few performance upgrades for the '08 GT500

[evasive]

Going to drop my '08 GT500 back off at Power By The Hour in the coming weeks to finish up some upgrades. With my schedule, it's hard to find the time to get them the car but I'll have the time soon. Outstanding shop with top notch work. Here is what is left to install since the last visit.

2018 GT350R front brake conversion (via FullTiltBoogieRacing) with red calipers
Caliperfexion stud kit and slider for the GT350R calipers
Rear 2014 GT500 brakes with DB crossdrilled rotors and PowerStop red powdercoated calipers
ATI 10% lower with Gates Racing Belt
Kinetik crank saver stud kit
VMP 2.5 upper pulley (replacing a 2.4)
Maximum Motorsports bump steer kit
Steeda X1 ball joints
Lund Ngauge
Retune


I will have 2013 GT500 6-piston calipers, hoses, rotors and rear calipers, hoses, and rotors for sale soon. These were taken off a 2013 by Shelby in Vegas for someone getting a SuperSnake conversion done. Front calipers are painted RED with Silver Brembo calipers and clear coated.

Very nice. Did you get an opportunity to dyno it after mod install?

I haven't dropped it off yet for the next round of mods, those mods are what are next but yes, they'll dyno it.

Why are you adding a 10% lower just to change the 2.4 to a 2.6. Kinda seems like a waste of money. Better off with a port

It’s a better harmonic balancer than factory. I may keep the 2.4 on as long as I can stay on pump gas with the other supporting mods on the car. If not, 2.6 will be there.

Havent seen a 2008+ balancer fail. Doesnt seem to be a weak point at all. Kinda seems like wasting money. Money spent on a port , tvs or other blower would be a better bet.

Already have a ported TVS, L&M plenum port matched, injectors, C&R radiator, C&R heat exchanger, etc.

After talking to VMP, going with the 2.5 upper pulley vs the 2.6 to stay on 93 pump gas.

That lower will bring (even more) a bunch of torque.

Should be a beast.
