How is a blower kit minimal mods?

When the car is already setup for a blower from the factory it is pretty minimal.

Like saying a 3800 can do 700hp with minmal mods: Turbo kit, Big Injectors, Fuel pump. Not minimal

700 does not equal 985.

Isn't the car like 985hp from 662hp is a 48% gain. Many many cars could get that kind of a gain from a blower swap and fuel system upgrade. While the number is impressive, everything is relative.

P.S. 3800 blocks can run 225%+ of stock power level with stock heads and internals, just a turbo and fuel system upgrades. Once this runs 1490 hp I'll be impressed. Gotta keep it relative Bro.

Similar can be said of the S/C cobras

Obvious hater over here.........

Most cars get a large gain because they come from the factory without a power adder. I could give 2 shits what a 3800 makes power wise. What is the fastest 3800 FWD 1/4 mile time again?

This coming from the guy who wants one! :lmao:

Also has your car put down 985 rwhp?

My 12 year old car matters how to the GT500? :hsugh:

Do I want one? Sure. Who wouldn't. Will I end up choking up 75k for one? Probably not... but you never know.

Is 75K + whats probably 15k in upgrades for 90k total invested to get to 1kwhp impressive? Eh, I'm not convinced...

It's all about perspective, Jimmy. The GT500 is a great machine, no doubt. But $15k in upgrades to a 75k car to maybe get mid 9s out of it... not so sure myself.
