I kind of feel like some cars deserve to remain NA.

I kind of feel like some cars deserve to remain NA.

if it doesnt make eleventy billion hp its junk........ wouldnt want anything american to suffer from brz/frs syndrome

but i sort of agree with you but at least this adds some pssht noises on top of dat flat plane scream instead of drowning it out with a blower.

so torn on this myself but i cant say with a straight face i wouldnt do such a thing if i could!

 

[Mook]

Turbo the 5.0s. Leave this car pure, imo.

so is a boosted Z28 sacrelig too?

 

[Mook]

I'm not saying its blasphemy, just saying there are other camaros that should be turbo'd rather than the z28.

I feel like cars like that deserve to stay NA.

ill reserve that opinion until i see some hp/tq numbers lol!

 

[Mook]

HP numbers are numbers. Id rather see how it performs on the street / track.

Id also like to see what the 350 can do pushed all motor.

Hopefully this won't be a trend with these cars. I couldn't agree with Mook more, this is just one of those cars that should be left N/A. Can't say I wouldn't be curious to see what kind of power it makes, but it's like buying an ITR just to turbo it and drag race it. Why not just buy the cheaper dime a dozen GSR or in this case, a Mustang GT. There are VERY few people on here that can appreciate a car for what it's made for. Everyone just wants to drag race and dyno their cars.

And doing this to a Z28 wouldn't bother me, IDK why. I haven't seen much more than heads/cam Z28's, which is DOPE AF. N/A is the best.

 

[blck10th]

I too am of the mindset posted. The gt350 and z28 leave alone and make NA power please

 

[SleeperLS]

Have these been pushed to the N/A limits yet?

 

[10sec]

I don't even think they've had anything yet. Most people really don't care about bolt-ons, they want the power.

 

[SleeperLS]

That is unfortunate.

 

[GLADIATOR]

How many gt350s were produced so far? I don't see many owners doing this until regular Joe gear heads get their grubby hands on them!

I mean, it makes sense. People need apples to compare their apples to. More than having them make more power, they wan to see 1/4 mile times to compare to other cars. 350R wasn't focused on drag racing at all, but I would bet 99% of the people curious about them, want to know what they run at the drag strip, rather than what they run a Leguna Seca. I'm not hatin' though, I am part of the few that want to see a 350R rip the shit out of the twisties. I'm the 1%.

Hellion 2015 5.0 of the same kit made 949rwhp... on 16psi. I'm sure it will make more power. I mean. I guess it would be cool to see how much more power them better heads, that flat plane crank and a few more cubes can do...

I can agree to this but at the same time I tell people who give me grief for modding my car to pound sand.... I'm so conflicted.

 

[Mook]

I'm certainly not going to tell anyone who turbos their 350 that they shouldnt have, its their car and their hobby....I just kind of feel like something as unique as this should remain more pure.

so heres the real question it seems everyone should be asking....

when the fuck is someone going to put itbs on the gt350 and let that flat plane crank sing!

i would dare to say the badassery level of an itb gt350 would exceed a turbo'd gt350.

am i rite?

now excuse me while i go googling itb gt350........

off on a goose chase i shall go.

 

[10sec]

The thing is ITBs on a car is like straight up race-car status. I'll bet nobody does that, the cost of something like that is insane and unless you're building an insane N/A only motor, it really isn't going to reward you. If you're going that far you're doing it for competition, and I don't feel like there's going to be that many people in that position.

HOWEVER, your interest in NA all the way is legit. I remember the crazy ass N/A vette at the original 1/2 mile race. 100% the best sounding car there.

but but but i thought EVERYBODY tracked their gt350 and no one gives a shit about that 8k mark up! lololololololol!!

no one batted an eye at the 8k markup and swallowed it with a smile whats another 8k for a legit itb setup on the precious gt350?

i if i nuked my own thread with the above post and sarcasm?

 

[ragingclue]

ITBs would be cool, always loved those on the real M I6s. What are the gains to be had with the Voodoo?

I wouldn't want to turbo one of these, but that's just me. If dude wants to turbo his car though, more power to him.

 

[Rent Free]

think the itb setup would be killer on one of these!

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

There can be such a thing as too much power in a Track Day car.

And the voodoo is a special engine, I agree that thing should stay NA for the glorious revs.

The Z28 being the "special" car that it is should have a flat plane engine too. Leave the boosted LT4 for the ZL1.
