How much RWHP can I get out of my 00 GTS with cat-back exhaust and a supercharger ? Can I also spray it with a 50 or 75 shot on top of that ?
Nice toys in your signature!
The pistons are the problem due to the high top ring land. Doug at DLM has found a way to get around the problem to some extent - give him a call and he'll be able to advise how far you can go without replacing the pistons. Engine management will be critical - one bad dose of detonation with a blower and or NOS and "pop goes the weasel".
BTW - when analysing diff blower kits - ask about operating temps in climates similar to yours. Boosted engines that run very hot after a burst of full throttle - I'd wage a six pack they're detonating their heads off but inaudibly.... the only way to pick it up is via knock sensors. Those engines that get hot so quick will not live long unless they fix that problem by detuning or some other fix. Look for engine combos that stay in the healthy temp zones.
TQ monster, are you referring to 2000 and up cars or just in general? Can you define the healthy temp. range you are referring to? thanks
I have forged pistons. All I can say is that if you want wild HP and proven track results, you'll have to spend more than $7500.
If you want limited HP and track results that are less than world class, $7500 is a good starting point.

Or to state it another way using the fastest actual times to date, the extra $10k buys you .26 in the 1/4. But that's of course a fanatical way to look at it.
