Thread: 400+hp Needed

bottom end will hold up...look at the grand national guys running stock blocks from the 80's lol

or you can just get another car that has 400 hp stock and rwd and more fun. BOOM VICTORY.

grand nat block not the same! but having said the bottom end it fine for it

yea u prolly shoulda just saved the money for a 6.0 GTO and u have alrdy had stock 400 hp, prolly woulda been cheaper to get one then to buy a 04+ gtp and mod it to 400 haha oh well

I think by hub you mean the shaft. If you're going to do this, you will also need a bet wrap kit to prevent slip.

Not really, considering most LS2 Goat's around here go for nearly 20 grand.

I could buy a decent '04+ car for $6-8K...and 12 grand worth of work would poop on LS2 GTO's, not to mention whatever else

Shoot, around 3-4k would get you faster than most things

Cammed LT1 running neck y neck with me...low 13's...I just had a XP, headers, 3.4"...didn't sound like everything to me.

'96 F-Body's aren't that great.

i lost to a 96 lt1 yesterday

The occasional xpz car with an intercooler and weight reduction will get up over 110 consistently.

Race gas will increase any of the above setups by a few mph as well.

Not really about trap speed, it's all about the 60...He only trapped 109, with mods. It was an M6 car...stock gear...which is whatever, I don't know. It was a 13.27...to my 13.2x...think I was in the 105-106 area at the time.

Oh wellz.

trap = HP
60' = traction

Your gonna go broke quick if you keep trying to be faster then the next jo schmo
