Anyone have an opinion at what 1/4 mile ET level a person can expect a GT500 to no longer be street-able?
To put it another way, what is the fastest (in terms of ET) you think a supercharged GT500 can go at the track, that is also driven on the street?
I realize that this is a pretty general question, so to put it in some context, I am trying my best to balance the ability to drive my car on the street, at the same time going as fast as possible at the track. There is always something in the car that will create a limitation.
Right now, Instead of pushing my engine over the limit, I would like to consider building an engine with an aluminum block, but then my fuel system becomes a limitation. According to Kenne Bell's website, the competition 20V Dual BAP is good only to 1000 HP An upgraded fuel system then gets limited by the HP level of my built auto transmission, and so forth...
The crux of my dilemna is if you are going to spend big $ on a built engine, then it would be nice to be able to utilize that engine to as close to its full potential as possible. In my mind, this would mean a TH400 transmission instead of a AOD 4R70W, which takes the car that much more away from street-ability.
Any thoughts from members on this would be appreciated
