gt40p's and gears

sixxxshoooter · November 19th, 2008, 02:45 PM

well already have gears...Forgot to add that. I have a set of 3.73's in there. What would the increase on the P heads be?

93hatch · November 19th, 2008, 02:46 PM

average from i read is about 260whp without full boltons and 275ish with, i need to get my shit on a dyno

sixxxshoooter · November 19th, 2008, 02:51 PM

Hmmmm...OK. Not bad at all. Trying to get into the 300 zone without going into the motor but still on a budget. Well as close as I can with the the Nitrous or Vortech jus yet.

93hatch · November 19th, 2008, 02:52 PM

then get some good heads like trickflow or afr 165s

M L Struck · November 19th, 2008, 02:56 PM

Yes GT40P or save for a little bit longer and buy some good aluminum heads

M L Struck · November 19th, 2008, 02:58 PM

english please

sixxxshoooter · November 19th, 2008, 03:04 PM

Well that is going to lead me to saving up another 600 or so. I am looking for a good dry kit as well. But If I can do it without the spray and some expensive heads then that will work. To be alittle more specific, I am looking to run in the 11's low 12 on a budget.

93hatch · November 19th, 2008, 03:06 PM

slicks and spray then

sixxxshoooter · November 19th, 2008, 03:09 PM

Yea, I thought about that. That would be nice 600 dollar fix. If I can find both of those used. Then just replace the tires.

sixxxshoooter · November 19th, 2008, 03:40 PM

Would a MAF calibrated for 30#'s with 30#'s do me any good? Also what are some suspension mods that can be done with simple tools in the garage? I am not a mechanic but I know the basics and so on. Nothing I couldnt figure out with the right equipement.

GT87Stang · November 19th, 2008, 03:48 PM

pull off the front sway bar... helps alittle on traction and weight..but sacrifice handling.

sixxxshoooter · November 19th, 2008, 03:52 PM

Hmmm...Well I still need her to handle well on the street so I dont want to pull that just yet.

sixxxshoooter · November 19th, 2008, 04:04 PM

Didnt think so..Well I guess at this point I should be looking into lightening the load I guess, other then Spray for right now.

93mustank · November 19th, 2008, 06:47 PM

Bottles are for babies...get some all time power.... get some heads.

mustangsoldier · November 19th, 2008, 06:57 PM
