To all who have asked: 1) The car is for street, and daily driving. 2) Yes. I want to do it right. 3) Have no intention of tracking the beast

To all who have asked:

1) The car is for street, and daily driving.
2) Yes. I want to do it right.
3) Have no intention of tracking the beast

So - that said, I'm starting my research in to how much HP I want. Unfortunately, the folks at Hennessy won't even give me any tips. So, they're out of the running. Period. There are a few reputable speed shops in the Austin area and that's my next stop.

I'll be happy with 540-ish HP to the rear wheels. My intention is also to put 305's on the rear in order to handle the additional thrust.

Now the research starts in earnest.

You're gonna need more than 305's to handle the additional "thrust".
Putting down that power effectively will most likely require
1)stronger clutch & flywheel upgrade
2)more robust LSD
3)the aforementioned cooling systems

That's several grand alone but is very useful in actually getting the power to the ground, even on a stock block.

I have a stage 1.5 SC GTM and make 516 rwhp 383 rwtq and it is reliable all day long , Sam at GTM told me 550 at the wheels is about the limit(since the limit varies car to car)a good number to shoot for is 500 rwhp this way you can decide which is best for you either a SC or TT.
