Awesome - thanks!

I was reading this thread and was actually impressed until I got to the

Nitrous part. At that point it doesn't interest me much more. Living on the

ragged edge depending on Nitrous to get a 12 second time slip isn't my idea

of impressive. Anyone can install Nitrous on anything and make it quite fast

in the 1/4 or 1/8th mile....... The rest of the car and the mods are pretty nice though!

What does it run off the bottle?

its never been run on the bottle, as the nitrous simply cools the outside of the intercooler, to help lower iat's. it never enters the engine.

even at that, the 12.03 run was before the cooler system was even installed on the car.

ragged edge? car has over 70k miles on it, daily driver, over 40k miles of it with the turbo as well.

if i wanted to push it (to the point where i was worried about the motor) i could probably cut off some 11.1 or quicker times.

My bad..... So you have nitrous and don't spray the motor? Interesting,

as I read over all your mods I guess I figured that since you had a nitrous

setup that you were spraying the motor.

Okay....then I am impressed with your 12 second times!

I just get really tired of all of the ricer crowds taking small displacement

motors and beat the crap out of them and spray them to go fast! That just

doesn't impress me, I prefer displacement and no nitrous myself. Plus the

ricer/smaller motors sound terrible.

Nice! Bring it out to the Pavillions car show some Saturday night once you

get your 2011! The 2011 will be a GT 500KR right?

was 100% set on the 5.0 @ 400hp. if its that or more its what ill be getting, if its less, ill be picking up a 3.7

whats ompressive to me is that the stock short block can handle that much stress..

forged rods from the factory, but shit pistons and crank. the weak link so far is the wrist pins i believe.
