[QUOTE="IllCobra, post: 16617691, member: 77366"] Very much appreciate your input, Troy! I for sure want to keep my car a street car with the occasional drag day thrown in there. But when I do race, it will most likely just be hwy runs. I'll start off with my current mods and what I plan on doing to it this year if all goes well. Not long after I got the car in 2016 it dropped a valve seat and beat up the motor a bit, so that forced me to upgrade the motor a bit before anything else. Original terminator motor: --Bored .020 over --Manley 11cc dish pistons and rings. CR at 9.0:1 --APR 2000 head studs --ARP everything - mains & sides (as well as new Clevite rod bearings) --Billet oil pump gears --DC heads with stock degreed cams (I wish I had the funds to get aftermarket cams at this time) --Stock rods and crank --Gen 2 VMP 2.3 blower (3.0 upper stock lower) w/ a Dragon TB & Plenum --JLT Hight boost cold air intake --SCT2600 maf --Mac LT headers, O/R BBK x-pipe, Magnaflow mufflers ( will probably switch to an o/r h-pipe in the future) Suspension: --MM IRS Rear Race Grip Package (the best MM offers for our cars) --CCM subframe connectors --H&R Race springs --G-Force axles --Ford diff cover (I've been thinking about switching to a 93-97 thunderbird iron diff case) --Stock 3:55 gears --Hermann custom rear shocks Currently 04Sleeper tuned on 93 pump Plans for this year: -Fore's 1200hp L2 Fuel System -ID 1050X's -Metco #4 lower -Retuned by 04Sleeper for E85 -Sell my T56 and upgrade to a T56 Magnum and go with a Twin Disk There's also some misc mods I didn't mention. I would like to get the 2.3 as close to the 800whp range as I can. I would like to go Todd Warren or Kurgan cams in a couple years. But hearing about Jokerz port for the VMP 2.3's has me curious as to how close I can get to 800whp before going cams. How difficult is it to port the 2.3? I figured it would help me if I switch over to a GT500 TB & Plenum and a bigger/better intake like your crusher. It just may take a bit of time getting those parts in the used market since they are no longer made. Any hints and tips, recommendation on mods, or just how to go about my build. Any info is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
