Right to the Meat and Taters... No one gives a damn about fluff!

Here's what it's going to take for you to get your 2020+ GT500 to produce a CONSISTANT 1000+ HP with a stock fuel pump and without swapping your blower.

Keep in mind these price points are typically Black Friday deals, one or two are parts I found on the forums for sale or bought with the car.

This was my cost, performing all of the work myself EXCEPT for the Header install as I do not have a lift.

Turnaround time for the blower porting: From the time I shipped my blower out till it returned to my doorstep from Kong Performance was about 15 Days.

I would be remiss if did not compare the option of the Palm Beach Dyno Package that would net similar results if you choose to go with E85.

The mod list is a bit shorter, it has 1050s not 1300s, the port is from Jokerz. etc.. So there are some differences in the set up.

FYI, THIS SPECIFIC PBD PACKAGE AIMS FOR 900ISH RWHP. You would need E85, fuel rails and ID 1300s to have a more direct comparison.

The PBD X900S3 package contains:

Jokerz Ported Factory Supercharger Upgrade (cores available)
2.7 SPE Pulley
SPE 170 Thermostat
Injector Dynamics ID1050x Fuel Injectors
105mm Throttle Body
Cold Air Intake
Upgraded Heat Exchanger
Upgraded Whipple Intercooler
Kooks Long Tube Headers with Green Cats
Palm Beach Dyno Billet Supercharger Lid
Palm Beach Dyno Custom Tune
Palm Beach Dyno HPT RTD Tuning Device

This package will make 880-910 Horsepower, which is approximately 1000-1030 Horsepower at the crank.

Also, I do not know if this package includes Taxes, Labor etc. I would give them a call and ask for a specific quote. NO ONE is better at getting these cars to perform than Ken, Koby and Boys at PBD.


Conclusion:

You CAN save SOME money doing this labor, source parts yourself, waiting for deals busting some knuckles, having that "I built this" pride with your ride....

Or

You can save all that hassle and have PBD set you up with a similar package for a very reasonable price.

Let me be the first to tell you guys. This car is a **** load louder than you’d ever imagine. It made 139DB on the volume scale. Car is incredibly amazing to hear shifting.

Awesome. And proud of you for scraping up your knuckles.

HP per dollar is nuts. My ZL1 is similar power and required blower swap + cam + heads + Frankenstein fuel system.

Hell yea man. Honestly thats usually my measure for what mods I wanna go with... if the Gains are there for the price, I'm in!
I wish I could get that kind of power in my car for $12k plus labor. lol Seems like a smoking deal.

Keep rocking that shit!
Ty Brother! Ken did mention a possible track rental sometime this year. Im gonna try to get in on that so I can do some serious test and tune.. Not just a 2-3 hits on a Thursday night. Feels really good. like money well spent... Sort of.. LOL.

All I know is she pulls like crazy even dumping massive amount of power to compensate for the lack of traction. Very VERY impressed with this platform...
