[QUOTE="gimmie11s, post: 16375889, member: 17953"] IMO, you have the wrong platform to chase an 8.8 but it can be done. High 8s will require close to 160mph and 160 means 1200 or so hp shifting gears. Less if you are automatic. [USER=7795]@biminiLX[/USER] is making at or over 1100whp, trapping over 150 mph. He is still rowing gears like a man; which is incredible, although he just munched the trans and is rebuilding now. I'd figure $15k to build a stout shortblock--unless you convert to iron block 5.4l which is less than half that price. $6-7k for the right blower and fuel system (4L KB or Whipple--I suppose a Gen3R VMP would do it too). Honestly if it were me, I'd 6r80 swap it so figure another $4k. $3k for the right set of bigs/littles. Cage, parachute (required over 150mph), safety equipment is $4-5k. Suspension bits and pieces maybe $2k. Im sure im missing a lot, but i cant see an aluminum motor GT500 trapping 150+ or nailing consistent high 8s for any less than $30k assuming a stone stock GT500 to start with. [/QUOTE]
