First ride in my whippled GT500

[04CobraVert]

just got back from my first ride in the gt500 with the 2.9 whipple which was tuned by Lund. i have been out of the car for a good 15 mins now and i still cant stop smiling. the car is pretty retarded now. it is putting out 19psi of boost and absolutly destroys the tires 1st-3rd. the 18" wheels are no longer going to be an option even with the 305 series drag radials. there must be 200-300' of rubber over by waynes house and a very decent amount on hwy p. at first i was thinking. man there really isnt that big of a difference between this and my steggy. then i looked in the rear view and saw 2 bus legnths of mickey tompson on the road. so the next time i rolled into it alittle slower. and the car took off like a rocket. i am extremly happy with how the car turned out. now im going to have to get a set of bogarts thou. so i can get some more tire/sidewall on this thing.

With the torque hitting so hard now, you should think about 3.27s.

[04cobra13]

get some hoosier drag radials!! Beasty tho!!

 

[Mach1USMC]

Damn- that's crazy!! Nice numbers..... I'd say 3.55's and call it a day. Put a locker in it to make it really interesting.

I havent seen 3.27's in a GT500 but we do have a member with a 03/04 with a 3.4L Whipple/E85 700rwhp. He did 3.27's and loves them.

Im planning on the same setup in the next year or so and Im gonna give them a try.

Cant remember the guys name. Maybe he'll chime in.

 

[GOTSVT?]

Go with 3.73's
