HPDE, Time Trial peeps chime in!
Before the GT350 I was a turbo guy and dealt with tuning, e85,boost hoses popping off, heat soak etc etc.
Now that this car is 95% driven at the track I need to up it. I’m about neck and neck with 2018+ GTs especially with the 10 speeds on the main straights and can’t hang with ZL1s with good drivers.
I’ve had ARH headers sitting in a box for almost two years and have been waiting on cortex for a new intake manifold which seems like a pipe dream.
I have two plans, one is to stay N/A, get a subframe to lower the motor along with mounts (steeda is in the works), pmas intake or similar, headers, cj intake and tune on 100 octane and be done with it. 530-550 whp would be my goal. I like this plan since I don’t want to open up the motor. With tuning it’s going to be around 6k all said and done.
Option 2 is to go the expensive route with a whipple or procharger, fluidyne rad, opg and more than likely a larger oil cooler. All said and done would be around 10k. I’d guess 600-700 whp would be pretty easy to attain. The question is, which type of super charger is better for track use and keeping temps low.
Any insight is welcome!
