How much does JUST the engine cost? You can get a whole lot more than 600 fwhp for the price they're probably charging.



And this is pretty funny too:
A limited production run of 25 vehicles featuring the latest in cutting edge technology and products.

Call Jeff @ MTI. The engine you are talking about can be built the way you want it. that specific engine you are refering to has a very conservitive street camshaft. 228/232 duration 113 lsa. There 427's can make a whole lot more HP than 600FWHP if that is what you want. Good luck!

Doesn't seem like you hear a lot from MTI anymore these days. Or is it just me? What kind of numbers did your car put down Firehawk441? Sorry for kind of getting off-topic guys.

Call Jeff @ MTI.
He no longer works there. MTI is real busy and doesn't spend a lot of time on the boards, although they are still doing a lot of work on F-bodies they are full with Vettes, CTSV's, GTO's etc... So you probably won't hear to much from them on F-bodies just because of them being packed with other makes right now.

I went in there today to get my AMW catch can. I've been there several times to pick up random parts when I don't want to pay/wait for shipping. The place is always full of C6 and C5 'Vettes. Although, there are always F-Bodies (mostly Camaros) in the lot.

I would look at Cartek. They are in N.J., and IMO just as good as MTI. If MTI told me to just keep checking their website instead of explaining the setup in detail over the phone, then I would look elsewhere.

Yep either Cartek or TTP. TTP will be closer though, exit 16W off of the Turnpike.

If you want feed back private message Crager. He has one of their 427's. His car is bad ***. I haven't seen them go too agressive. They tend to stay mild to have beautiful drivability, but they probably will slap a big cam in there if you want. Craig's car has a little cam in it and older technology heads and makes 535. As far as Jason not being there, he's been out of town. He is back now, but talk with David Coates. He'll take care of everything. MTI does stout work. As far as price, you get what you pay for and quite a few people on here will back me up.
