You are using a tt motor with stock displacement, heads, valves and cam. I believe your motor is a paragon for it's catagory. Given the right ambient temps, zero camber, drag radials and an LSD you will definitely be knocking on the door of the 9's.

blunt,

Going to GT3 crank required change in rod lenght and piston dimensions. Going to GT3 heads and cams requires more dimension changes than you can imagine.

I allowed one tuner to access my piston dimension changes. This saved him months.

If you go with the Cup stainless or GT3R titanium valves, don't expect much from the longevity department.

You would be amazed at the time involved.

Collin,

The SR-71 "Blackbird" was untouchable. No Blackbird has ever been shot down.

Perhaps you are thinking of Gary Powers and the U2?

Did the SR-71 have a really low Cargraphic lip on it

Sharky,

No. Lockheed went the ghetto route and applied black heli-tape to some cardboard to make a knockoff Cargraphic lip. The results are, unfortunately, classified.

I've already said too much...

LOL Greg... great post

So off came the cannons last night and on went the FVD Exhaust. Man that exhaust is soooo much quieter! Install was easy too... both Eddie and I have one now. Resonance isn't bad either on a Tip...
