I agree 100%.
But things like pulleys and exhaust are two different things. Pulleys allow gross power that was used to turn the accessories to go out the back end of the crank instead, i.e. NET...

Re: Drag Radials: Too sloppy in the corners?

Hmm, I knew you were doing the gen 1, but didn't know there was something else in the works for the gen 2.
Looks like it will be sick.
So did you max out the KB or just get bored with it?

Re: can a stock '99 GT bloack handle this?
Like 96GTS said, with suspension, sticky drag radials, and some RPM, you will launch pretty hard. Any power adder will just make it better.
On a stock GT motor, a procharger P1 will do the trick....

Re: can a stock '99 GT bloack handle this?
400-425 at the wheels.
You're not gonna break a GT cast crank at less than 500++++hp.
As said before, the rods and pistons are frail in either.
The 4V is much more efficient as 96GTS said. ...

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?
I love BBS wheels, but the plasma's are not that great looking. Of course, if you get a real bbs wheel it will cost you nearly $1K per wheel.
I also vote for deep dish FR500's.
