Well, I figured I'd let the cat out of the bag.
Last summer brother bought the fully optioned 13 GT 500, traded an 11 ZR1 in on it, did the quick mods, tb, cai, off road, 10% UD, tune. Made 700 to the wheels in that form, well tick tock tick tock, the motor blew after only 700 miles :shrug::shrug:
Scarred the block between number 2 and 3..........such is life of a high hp car, it happens sometimes.
After waffling about what to do, Black sunshine came to live again after a few months on the shelf. Starting in November last year after months and months of waiting for parts, motor being built, blah blah blah. It's almost finally there, awaiting a final retune before final dyno numbers. Will keep y'all posted should be finished with 2 weeks.
List of mods below:
MMR fully built S/B, darton resleeved block to produce 358 CI
billet rods, cobra crank, forged slugs, billet oil pump, ATI damper
MMR stage 3 P/P heads, with comp stage 3 blower cams, upgraded valevs and springs
MMR lightwwight oil cooler
Whipple 4.0
FRPP SCJ TB, meter
ARH 2' with 3' O/R, magnaflow street series CB
LP complete returnless fuel system with 205 squirters, CFE fuel hat
McLeod clutch, aluminum D/S, Barton shifter,
TR6060 rebulit with beefed up internals, McLeod clutch
FR rear seat delete
Speed of Sound 3 gauge pod pillar
BMR full rear suspension
In this form it produced 927HP and 787TQ on 18 lbs with C16 with stock whipple 4.0 pulley
With a recommendation from a diff tuner, going with 80lb squirters and turning the boost up, retune dyno numbers to follow.
How do I post pics? Don't flame me, just a simple question, I'm not allowed to add attachments yet
