awesome video and car doc.
there is no replacement for displacement, those gto's have big motors and when you add a blower on that they move out very nicely.

Quick question, you said you moved into the 11's with $ 1800 and into the 10's with $ 3500 invested.
I see you have a blower, all the vortech kits I see for the GTO are over $ 5000, can you clear this up by chance?
I have a friend with a GTO and he is always going on about how easy and affordable it is to mod the cars, so when I saw your #'s and your mods list and your costs, something didn't add up.
Thats probably because he has the ls1 goat i think and the supercharger for an ls1 is less than the ls2

Here is my perspective on the S/C cost factor right off the bat. The '04s were generally cheaper than the Snake to buy brabd new, in fact much cheaper. So if you add the typical 4 - 5K it costs to add forced induction to that car, it is either a tad less than my Snake (04) or close but NOT more than my Snake. Even when the O4 Snakes were sitting and languishing at the SVT dealership lots they were not to had for cheaper. Guys, don't forget that. Heck, my '05 GTO M6 cost less than my Mid Year '04 Snake, with all the GM incentives that were available at the time to buy them.
I wonder how many here bought their Terminators for less than 33K brand new from the SVT dealership? Be honest, I know a bunch of us that bought our '05 Goats for less than or about 30K brand new. And at the time we bought our '05s Goats, there were a lot of '04s still on the lot. Now you know you can pick up a very good condition '04 slap on an S/C and run with the Snake for still less than you can get a used Snake today simply go to eBay and look it up
So to make the argument that it cost a lot to put a S/C in an '04 is to also consider how much it costs to buy the 04 in the first place. Especially if you made the purchase in in late 04 or later on.
I am not trying to be a jerk or anything but I always see people making comments about, oh it only cost me this much to go this fast.
I was looking at docs mods list and he says he spent $ 4800, looks like theres more than that in his first line alone.
My friend has an 05 GTO and always goes on about how he can do all these things but when we work out prices for "everything" thats needed to do the job it ends up being alot more, I have to knock him down a few pegs.

Got my 04 cobra for 28k, after warranty and additional it was in the low 30s but still much less than 33k

the normal price of s/c kit is more than $4k, doesn't mean other people won't get it for less if he/she had some contacts 
anyways, here is another goat in the 10's, small cam, full exhaust, verter and a 175 shot. does it fit the $4k profile ???

I would say not...I may have to get one and find out, very cool
thats a strong GTO. very nice!
Does it realy matter what any of this shit cost? I mean I do it to go fast. Not compare how much was spent.
Good kill Doc. An LSanything is not to be taken lightly. Especially FI. Cobra's arent the best roll racers. They suffer from heat soak terribly and the roots style is good for low-mid-range power.

Wish I Had an SVT
Nice vid! Nice kills! Nice GTO! I love how you lay down rubber into third and fourth. Very nice.:thumbsup:

I don't think that anyone with any brains at all will shove 650 hp through the stock pistons in a LS1.. (also the powdered metal rods can't be that strong)

you might want to check the 4th or the 6th car on this list, the others are just ls2's or a little 455, but what do we know right ?

That doesnt mean its good for the engine. Just because someone does it. Strictly performance pegged the Tq reading on their dyno with their 03 Cobra. Stock engine. Doesnt mean we can all do it.
And what is a little 455?

Had a gentleman with 800+rwhp turbo ls1 running through a stock block 13x,xxx miles(Quater mile performance, QMP) that held together for quite some time(40-45 passes ?) up until it popped of course. So it can hold it, just like any engine can. It's just a matter of how long the fuse is ;-)
