| I agree with most said. The "bundle of snakes" is a cool system and would hate to screw them up. From what I've seen at my buddies automotive shop and has a mustang chassis dyno, he gets a lot of "tuners" installing turbo's. For the added heat & detonation, he installs before/after coolers, water or methanol injection, programmable computers ect.... I know turbos can add a lot of hp but, to what expense ? Talk about a bundle of snakes ! He has a customer with a 89' Chevy truck. With a new block, good rods, pistons, crank ect., and the above stated parts, he has apx. 20k into this engine & system..........in a old truck ! To each it's own I guess. Anyway, I have around 10k in my 427 cobra motor. 563 hp. He'll have apx. 600-700 hp. Is it really worth the expense ? Plus, mine sounds like a cobra should, radical cam, compression, and the GT40 is no different. I love the low down grunt of American muscle power and not the tuner whoosh. If it's a 12 cylinder Ferrari,....... that's different. I did not post to ask for turbo information for my (hopefully) future GT-40, rather out of curiosity. If I use any power adder for my cobra or a GT-40, it would be a centrifugal super charger or the small blower like the new GT. Again, I think the big issue here is heat and exhaust. |
