KB's make kits for the 2V's. IDK about whipple, even thought hey are a 10 minute drive from my work. ROFL.

You're looking at a good $10k MINIMUM to do it right. But, I agree, gotta have goals.

For the $10K investment in a 2V, you might as well just do an entire Terminator engine/trans swap. You can get them for $6-8K used, so it might actually come out to about the same. And then at least you have a fully forged 4V motor.

that was my mess up bigjeep. i guess i misunderstood who you were referring to. I know of one gto that might give the guy a run for his money but since i dunno his hp guess i really cant say. Once the gto is up and running it is suppose to be able to push 1200 rwhp on full out race tune.

There is no SS involved!!! Think of the CuNfUzIoN it will cause when they see LTon the back. It was a nonEXT 5.3.

Different strokes for different folks?....and that $10k was for forged shortblock and KB setup. A 6-8k cobra setup wont' have a KB, and there is still labor involved with a swap. Possible ECU change, different/more tuning, etc.

I'm sure weighing will be 'close', but that depends on what one thinks is close. Personally, I would look into a swap and do a stage 4 port.

You have alot to learn....Honest.

Racing a guy on the street that has ran a 12.8x has NOTHING to do with what your car runs. That is RICER talk/mentality. That won't go very long around here.

LOOK, I've said it before, I'll say it again, GET A CUSTOM TUNE for YOUR car and THEN take it to the track.

My bad Scott, I thought it was an SS. Your right I would be CuNfUzEd as hell when I only beat it by 4 or 5 car lengths.

Thanks Carl.

If he doesn't change soon...I'll be awaiting a thread titled...."I was racing this guy with a buslength lead but something went wrong. My ford shop guy says it should only need a flux capacitor, but I don't know it. It was great cause I was ahead and he has a 12.7 car so I know I have a 12.5 car before I blew the motor not taking good advice from people that have been there. Now I can't make it to work on Monday."
