01 GT gets T56 Magnum kit n Build rear end n install

hey felas,
just a quick question from someone who is not mechanically inclined at all.
if you are building these big hp motors, .... changing the blocks, heads, pistons, cranks etc....
and putting big blowers on them, why would you still keep it a 2 valve.
Wouldnt it take less effort and $ to get more power from a 4 valve?

Now that the mechanicals have all been taken care of, you just might! Haha. I'm finally finished, as long as I can hold myself back at least, with modding my car.

Forged rods, pistons, crank, bolts, studs you name it. Built rear and the magnum. E85 and a vortech jt trim with trick flow heads and CMS stage 3 cams..... I'm at 688/565. Its a fun car. Can't wait to take it to the track and see what the new found power on e85 can do.

I spend more of my free time at tracks than I do car shows/meets lately though.

That's a nice list of mods Danny great set up n with e85 nice great num# too.awsomework:
Well when I'm done with the brake I'd like to take cruise to a strip see what she does on the 1/4 mile So let me know in may maybe we can meet up

Whats up on edge yeah It is cheaper for me to build my 2v then a 4v cause with a 4v i hav to change all the front motor braket motor monts wiring harnesse n the heads 4v heads r twin cams n 2v r single cams so i save big time on that n also transmission mounts are different location then the 2v I know there r othere facts but that's all I got for now n that's why I went n built a 2v i hope that helped a little to understand lol see u soon brother
Plus i wanted to show a 2v can do just as good as a 4v with the right internals n show some 4v freinds of mine it can be achieved.

Less effort? Not exactly. First, I would need a new timing cover, new timing kit, heads, valve covers, harness, rails, supercharger bracket, coolant hoses, upper and lower intakes...... its quite a bit to do. Besides, the trick flow heads flow just as good as 4v heads.

And it surprises the shit out of people when you pop the hood and they see those 2v valve covers expecting to see its a 4valve after they get walked on. Lol.

That is so true lolI love it now when someone asks me how much hp I'm pushing and they hear 600 HP the first thing they say is and that's a 2v valve is just awsome

So, I guess you guys are the ones to talk to. as you know, I'm in your club, 2 valve. I'm already set up with a centrifical vortech and cams. I'm pretty much at the safe maximum. what would i need, parts wise, to get me to low five hundreds? I guess I am referring to the parts that people replace with forged parts. thanks for your help.

 

[loustang]

Hey if u want to reach those numbers ur going to hav to do ur bottom end with a forged rotating assembly should get u there n with the cams u put will help n long tube headers once u do that u can Up the boost, realspeed should be able to aassist with it I hope this was a little helpful for ya ill see ya soon.
