IT may have been longer than that

It blows my mind how hard they made something that Dynosty did so easily.

You gotta understand that GTM is working with 3-4 year old tech.

Also... I'd wait for the new dyno numbers... My prediction is somewhere around 1200WHP

I agree. Jon is tuning it so I'm sure they will be pretty high.

The crazy over the top 1000+ HP build they started a few years ago now, though I don't know what the build ended up being once complete.

Intake manifolds?

Exhaust because they're known to crack

Ah, yeah... Almost excited

COSMO · 02-03-2015, 09:29 AM

pm sent regarding those manifolds..

phunk · 02-03-2015, 02:02 PM

it looks like whoever makes their exhaust manifold castings is looking for other sources of moving them now. an old distributor of mine emailed me a couple days ago with a picture of them and said he can get them now if i wanted to use them for a kit... but we just finished our own manifolds and I never cared for those ones anyway. not to mention, always better to steer clear of drama when you can.

Can you keep in touch with him so those of us who would otherwise have to resort to dealing with GTM again have a better option?

Chuck, I got you covered.

I think Phunk and I are talking to the same guy.

I was told $800 for a set is the price.

EDIT 2: spoke with Phunk. Same guy... $800 a set is what I was quoted

Good deal. I'm sure I'll have to deal with this at some point.

And the fork in the road...

50 sets need to be ordered at once. Or the supplier won't do it...
