ESS Supercharged E90 M3 Vs. GT500
#61
I'm not taking anything away from the Shelby's, I love them, hell my daughters name is Shelby! haha But you are not gonna trap 140 without a lot more work other than the blower swap. I mean some of the cars you guys are linking have TH400's, 9" rears, revving to 7k rpm and in 40* weather on c16 with very aggressive tunes that a stock long block is not gonna endure for long. These cars are not examples of something that most blower swap cars are doing.
Well I'll tell you what. I plan on shooting for 140s with my setup. Stock gearbox, only driveshaft and 3:73s. Yes the car will get c16 that day and the appropriate race tune and pulley.(Going to the track is like a big party.. put on your best stuff!) She will go back to street mode after, meaning 93 octane tune, pulley and wheels.
Other than exhaust mods, and the heat exchanger, the car only has the blower. Naturally the suspension is Griggs, so it should hook well. The Griggs kit has a torque arm that really plants the rear down nicely. With the sway bars off the front it should be interesting. Shift points wont be higher that 6200.
Let's see what she does!!

Good to see you man! Sorry I had not responded to this.
No! Keep Godzilla for sure!! Instead of selling Zilla, just get King Kong which can be a blacked out Shelby GT500!!
This way you have 2 monsters in the garage!
I'd love to get into a GTR for everyday use... Love that car...
