You've got my attention! I'm getting about 11.5 with the 2.75 and stock internal. Should be a little more boost, but the Dynatech headers do a great job. How limited would I be with the existing heads and the whipple 3.4?
I know what the existing aftermarket mods will produce on the GT500. For example, a Kenne Bell 2.8 on a GT500, can easily produce well over 700rwhp on pump gas. The big Whipple 3.4 can do even more and more efficiently because you don't have to spin it as fast. My baseline pull, before any mods at all on my truck, was 204hp if I remember correctly. That's about 100hp drivetrain lose. On a GT500, if you have the mods to get, say, 800 hp at the flywheel, that would be between 650-700rwhp in my truck. So, my question is, knowing the cost involved to achieve this crank hp on a GT500, what would have to done to my 3V truck motor to get the same results and at what price?
