    Debated about supercharging GT/CS for a year. A member found one for me and didn’t do it. Went another direction.... Shelby was answer to more power for me.

    I cant part with mine man. Held on to it for too long! It's part if our family & it's my legacy.

    It's at an age now where insurance is cheap & I just love the look of mine!

    Just needs more HP & torque!

    I hear y’a... felt same about mine. Opportunity knocked and I took it. Still think of GT/CS but 500 is cool.

    Want an cake n eat it to build, check this idea out.

    -KB blower and all the fixings that go along with it nets you around 400/400 at the tires. As I said before, while it may pale in comparison to whats "said" to be big power on the street, guarantee it'll put a smile on your face every single time you drive it.
    -Know nothing about rest of your car but saw cool driver and roadcourse so let's look at that aspect n the following list.
    ~ Full Maximum Motorsports hit underneath, coil overs, Bilsteins, Panhard, Torque arm and at least Cobra brakes for the front (Caddy Brembo calipers look like a promising swap), maybe even a K member. Add to that a set of quality aftermarket seats and you'll be making excuses to drive it every chance you get.
    Now your talking about a ride with great power and the good stuff underneath it to make it drive and handle like you never thought possible, yes this stuff takes your car to a level you never knew even existed.
    Now you've got a slot car handling, big power and a car you can still drive anywhere.
    Whats not to love?

    I agree with you Rick.

    My car does have alot of suspension & brake mods already. Just missing the power.

    Need to put together a plan & money to make the wants a reality.

    Thanks! I've always tried to keep her is good shape. Hard to believe it's got 129,000kms on the odometer!

    Had it paint corrected & ceramic coated in August. Very happy with the results & highly recommend doing it.

    If the blower n go on your stock engine isn't going to make the cut, next most affordable big power option is a full Termie drivetrain swap. That gives you the killer engine backed by a T56 trans. Even cooler if you include IRS at the same time. In stock form with pulley and a tune it's going to make 470ish at the tires on the stock blower with option of a Whipple or similar later. Reason I jumped to that vs doing a built engine then blower later, your stock trans would survive just fine for the blower n go idea but a boosted big h/p combo will see it fail in a very short time, Cobra stuff is good as is.
    While getting harder n harder to find, still out there and many times can be purchased as a full drop out including all bits n pieces.
