Thread: Time for more POWAAA! (GEN V Build)

oh kids the time has come for some more ponies. ive been working hard/saving to get this pieced together and underway and the time is almost here! The plan is a gen v/n*/lq4 maf/3.5 sc pulley/modified l67 lim/ tune/nitto drag radials. shooting for 13.5 or better in the spring and i KNOW its gonna be easily attainable if i get the tune spot on.

what i have so far:

Gen V Supercharger
3.5 mps
s/c gasket
aluminum lim gasket
coolant elbows
injector o-rings
s/c oil

what i need:
longer s/c bolts
modified lim (which Bill is modifying for me as well as smoothing intake runners)
Northstar TB w/ lq4 (getting on black friday

The total build will be just under $1000 (before dyno tune)
tune and Nittos wil be after build is complete. looking at starting this RIGHT AFTER i get my n* soo after black friday. gonna hit it up in my bro in laws garage. prob gonna change fuel filter/plugs as well while im in there. Going to Performance Dyno in concord n.h for the tune. idk if ill use my 3/4 or 3.5 pulley..well see whats the better option. PICS TO UPLOAD IN A LITTLE BIT

ALSO id like to thank Bill for answering my many questions on this build and for hooking me up with a lim for it

and as always suggestions/input are welcome

Sounds great, have fun!!

not ready for a full slick though, but i agree my dream setup would be skinnys in the rear and theres in front as well..on a draglite rim

im just looking for ATLEAST 1.9 60fts

trying to not break too much next season

Nice! I have very similar mods to come this winter. I bought a 2001 GS a couple months ago along with a gen v , zzp ported lim, stage 2 ic, 1.9 rockers with ls6 springs, a rebuilt trans with 3.29 gears and all the goodies. I have a 3.25 and 3.0 pulley. I would like to hit something in the 12s next year along with Overkills tuning help. Total into this project will be less than $5000. Good luck with your build!

i dont see why you wouldnt get a 12.9 @105 out of that setup, unless Will was actually in your car tuning it, i wouldnt get a canned tune. that setup needs a legit tune..just my 2 cents ofcourse

and thanks, its gonna be fun!
