I'd like to get a 5th gen and stick a KB on it Although that's almost APS TT territory money wise. Decision Decisions...

Ahh I love dreaming.

(I still think a D1 is hard to beat for the money, simplicity, potential, and reliability) Lot of guys don't have $ for that low comp 408 90mm turbo setup, What are kidney's worth nowadays anyways?

I had really put some serious thought into a D1 kit from EPP which had all the upgrades for pulley and FM intercooler, I didnt want to cut the bumper and loose the lic plate/beauty plate cover.

But with seeing how you can mod it, and put a same color mesh piece in it, id be cool with that.

P1 wouldnt be big enough if I went larger cube, and D1 would be killing my short block and to put heads or cam on it would be murder and I didnt have the $$$ for a new forged short block, heads, cam, fuel upgrades. At every turn the car was going to be "half assed" until I got the cash together.

I just got annoyed and spent 1 k on a n/a Cam set up and will decide later

D1 > Bumper cover LOL

Yeah I almost bought a mildly used kit off a member back in the day (same deal, low funds to do it right). Part of me wishes I had, but part of me is glad I didn't. I'll go FI soon enough, but it won't be with this car. TA is staying NA.

Don't forget that h/c packages nowadays you are making the same power as a 7psi procharger, with a more usable power band for the track and not adding weight up front. Pros and Cons. Plus it's fun to pick on pullied cobras stock ci all motor

If I were to do it, it would have a cover like this. I seen too many and it looks Gaudy, this isnt a Honda or Audi, I dont care if anyone sees the intercooler, I think it detracts from the car.

I like the look without the cover.

Then again, I drive a Ford.

How about being able to see the intercooler through the front of a C6Z?

Hahaha on a C6 it's a thing of beauty a guy at my gym has one on his yellow c6. Cutting out the bumper is a whole other story IMO (granted the power is badass none the less)

It was good fun Rob.

No traction in 3rd Yesterday, but it was nice that 4th was working properly.

I like the sound of the turbo's better, but I like the "oh Jesus" punch of the blower at 80 mph better.

I was pretty impressed with your car though. It was no slouch and hooks nicely from 2nd on up.

So for a 11:1 H/C car, can you safely run 6-8 psi if you tune right? I'm guessing #7 ringland would be on borrowed time though unless you put a little more injector back there somehow.

I recently got a ride in my first blower car (2003 Z06 347/heads/cam/13psi D1 making 650 rwhp) and that freakin thing moved OUT! By far the fastest car I've been in. I'd love to get a blower and then drop my N2O hit down and run both, but I'll probably be in rollcage territory at is it with the 100 shot so...
