Built engine time.

It looks great, I just put a wrinkle blue Gen5 whipple on my brothers terminator. It's a nice supercharger. I'm sure I could make one work, I'm just tired of working on the car constantly, I just want to enjoy it for a winter, maybe next summer I'll change something up.
Lund racing tuned the car and they're normally great with the KB168s, but for some reason they couldn't get the used KB168 or the brand new KB168 to work, I put new electronics on and measured the TPS voltage to .86 volts. But on cold start the car would hold idle at 3k and then slowly come down to maybe 1,2000, they said they couldn't control either one of them, so I gave up after pissing away a lot of money for nothing.
I 100% agree with you, ever since I bought this car it's only liked the Ford twin 65 T/B or a VMP twin 67mm T/B or the whipple mono blade I currently have on it, I've tried damn near every GT500 T/B on the car and it's hated them all, its like its possessed lol. Also a small part of me kinda feels like Lund doesn't try very hard to fix tuning issues and they usually blame you for doing something wrong and that's why stuff isn't working right and maybe they're right lol, I know how to read a datalog but I'm not a tuner, Lund also has the car in its current setup running amazing so I can't bitch to much, but I feel like my options are now limited, either way the goal has always been 900whp and maybe touch 1000whp once or twice and I feel the way car sits right now it'll do that.
Why do you do this to me.
Very interesting! So what your saying is there is 5 VREF and comm isssues between the TB and the PCM?
Your gonna hurt alot HELL KITTY feelings with that monster 5.8 motor......Yeah it’s a gen5 3.0 wanted a little more but keep motor mount location and hood. It’s just a little slow street carMotor is sleeved block, Manley rods, diamond ceramic coated pistons, head work, L&M cams. Total seal rings, king bearings, TSS oil pump gears. Fore innovations triple pump with ID1300. Tick performance stuff in the tranmission with a McLeod rxt 1200 clutch. I am probably forgetting something but that’s the meat and potatoes of it
Car is currently making 8xx on pullied stock blower E85,……..just needs a little more!!!

The stock blower can still make great power, are you shooting for 1000whp on yours as well?
Yessir wanna break the comma mark.
Thats right get them all!!
That looks good.I plan on getting one next year i hope.I prefer Whipple over kenny bell.
Looks like it's out of stock, just my luck lolVery interesting proposition here @2011 gtcs Just think of the added power.......
Nothing wrong with that, if I did a sleeved block and the 10mm timing chain kit and had a built transmission I'd probably push well into the 1,200whp mark.
After reading all the T/B comments, I offer this:
Had this installed on ( 2 ) different cars. FRPP mono, - ( 65mm x 147mm, 1797cfm )
Most tuners don't like / can't / won't tune it, yet I have had two cars that perform perfectly with it.
It drove just like the FRPP twin 65mm on my 11, the 14 never had anything but it after modding.
Common thread - tuned on the street !!

I had ford mono blade T/B on my other GT500 and it ran like stock, just like my whipple mono blade does on my current GT500, I feel Lund doesn't try very hard to make mono blade T/Bs work, I would have liked to have JDM engineering tune my car in person, especially since they built my engine.After reading all the T/B comments, I offer this:

I think the larger tuner " factories " are more volume driven, spending extra time on each tune is not part of their business model.
JDM is a small shop, their bread & butter is race cars, Jim Sr. the owner does ALL the tuning. The down side is it's hard to get an appointment, but the wait has always been worth it for me..

I concur, 100%
Agreed, and I would have liked them to tune my setup after they finished with my engine, but oh well, I'm actually suprised you haven't done a set of there cams in your GT500.
in 2013 i wanted a gt500 soooooooo badly. I just couldnt afford it at that time. . Congrats on the gt500 in general.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I remember buying my 13 GT500 new back in October of 13, it was a great feeling, I've now had three 13/14s lol. But my current one is here to stay.
i completely understand the passion for wanting to extract more power from these cars also. If i lived in a house.... and had a garage i would be a TERROR. Living in a condo really limits how far u can go, because EVERY time i stick a key into my car.. it HAS to start. so im forced to leave the car alone to a large extent. enjoy it......
