Working on that with my Durango. I have added rear leaf springs, swapped the diff gears to 4.56:1, and have a rebuilt, bullet-proof transmission with shift kit. Tows 7,000 lbs every day!yodawill2000 wrote:quick way to trash the transmission too Always build from the rear wheels forward !!
Old skeewl 1/4 miler rule.
There's a guy that I know that lives here close to me that has a 96 (I think) Mustang Cobra that he has spent MUCH money on. His theory is to just keep upgrading until something else breaks and then upgrade that. He's somewhere at the 700 hp mark right now.yodawill2000 wrote:Sounds like a beast fer sure.
I'll never forget that start from the back lesson from my Bro.He built hotrods and had a 450 HP 68 Camaro SS.
He had heavy duty everything but didn't upgrade the drive shaft.He lit it up one day and the tires hooked up perfectly ,, then the driveshaft sheered in half !!
Is that 700 to the wheels or from the crankshaft?gr8scott72 wrote:

To a lot of people on here "old school" would be a LT-1 Camaro.yodawill2000 wrote:quick way to trash the transmission too Always build from the rear wheels forward !!

His tune still wasn't 100% and his last dyno (wheel hp) was over 700.#1 Sailor Scout wrote:

He must have a beefy rear end to be able to push that kind of power.

Oh really?samsblakdog wrote:jim wolfs ecu is the only upgrade for an ecu that i would choose, because it "maps" your load/rpm combo continually. Optimizing begins by addressing the fuel and ignition timing demands required for crisp response during throttle position changes.
How do you make a universal cat back fit on a J30? Without custom fitting work, it won't fit.samsblakdog wrote:a magnaflow universal cat back cant hurt,
Swap a VG for a VG? Why? If you're talking about a twin turbo swap, it's been done before by others on here. (And well documented.) It's not for the faint of heart. One guy that did ALL the work himself was still at the $4k mark iirc and he was still on the stock transmission. (And was blowing them right and left.) I would imagine having someone do it for you would run the price closer to the $7-10k range.samsblakdog wrote:or you could have tonys auto in the bronx swap your vg out for a 300zx vg and throw two straight ram intakes on it. i would suggest forged pistons, lighter retainers and valve springs.eat your heart out, Texas.your
What's a "sisis"?samsblakdog wrote:critisism is for sisis.
I mostly don't know what you're trying to talk about...but do you mean pay someone else to do a TT swap? Because doing it yourself costs what? Over $5k? Paying someone else to do it would be way to expensive to be worth it. You could just buy a TT Z for that price. And sell your J and use that money for some mods. Then you would actually have a fast car (with an aftermarket!)samsblakdog wrote:or you could have tonys auto in the bronx swap your vg out for a 300zx vg and throw two straight ram intakes on it.
If you're talking about a TT swap into a J, it's not just a direct swap as far as I know. The people that have done it on this forum spent a lot more than $2k, and that wasn't including labor. Most front clips alone run $2-3000, and to be honest, I wouldn't trust someone who would do the whole project for $2k. You'd probably run into cut corners and stuff everywhere.And it's not like everyone wants 700hp, obviously. It's just that you're going to have to spend a ton of cash to get an vg30de to keep up with a vg30dett with a few hundred dollars thrown at it. If you're going to swap a vg30dett into a J, then yeah, it would be worth it if that's what you're into. If you think "throwing two short ram intakes" on a swapped vg30de is going to make you fast, then you're just an idiot. And if you want a body kit, yeah, it's going to have to be custom. Have fun with that...samsblakdog wrote:wow. it worked. p.s. it costs about 2k parts and labor for a tt swap in ny. including transmission. some ppl arent crazy about mustang roush editions with 700 blah blah blah. being unique and having a comfort zone in the high 200s probably signals alot more fun than bragging rights to them. swapping a vg for a vgtt from a 300 is worth it to those who are looking for that sort of thing.a gound effects kit. i guess has to be custom made right? just a lip, side skirts, nothing outlandish, just distinctive.
