You're hilarious, you can dream all you want. The reason I passed on a Viper? I spent it on my business and liked the Z more along with it being lighter and a fun NA car. The fact of going full HCIE and being the baddest NA platform just came with it. Yet to see a Viper break 8's NA or...
Supra lol. I would 5.3 swap it and make big power. Someone would pay enough for a stock 2JZ that we can sleeve and TT a 5.3 and make 1,500+ and have half the money left over.
My Z on her F14 drag pack looks so sexy. Now that a Hi-Ram is out of the hood she will look even meaner once done and on the ground. These cars are monsters, NA-wise the best. A Solid Roller Hi-Ram car can see well over 700, I will be happy with 620-630 with my stock compression.
I would...
I would of went 2" headers to let her breath because of the boost. Also do crank sprocket with the OPG's along with timing component upgrades. I also would not bother with cams with a Gen 3 as your bottom end is already maxed out once you throw it on. At 900hp I would hope low 9's/8's.
Which...
I do see that point as well, I would try to address reliability before making too much power. 675 rwhp like OP's car is really the point where he needs to go billet OPG's/Crank sprocket and upgrade timing components. 3.73's would be a good upgrade and on a Shelby I would be rolling around on a...
Another point towards a 5.4 haha. I about have just come to the conclusion of dropping in rods only when I grab one. I am not going to bother with pistons and rings. I will polish the crank since it would be out. Then upgrade all timing components. Then run pump to 800 and run race gas and...
Yes. I roll on my drag setup because the street setup spins past 100. If you make over 650-700, a radial or 888r is a must. He is new to the Shelby but not power, he had a 700 rwhp Terminator before the GT500. Yes, spinnin' ain't winnin'.
Slap on a Gen 3 VMP next. Also, chasing numbers also means chasing power. Unless you throw on something odd and kill the power under the curve to where all the power is up top and nothing mid-down low.
