Well, that
was the plan Tony!
But when this GMPP motor (with supercharger) only cost approx. $2K more than a Vanilla, Mexico-made LS3, I just couldn't turn it down. Even the MG9 TR-6060 transmission I'm using is about $1200 cheaper than the TK0600 because the trans itself is $500 cheaper plus you don't have to buy a separate bell housing. So the net difference between the engines is only $800 plus the cost of the water pump and heat exchanger (about $1K together).
Oh, and $3K will get me smaller pulleys, a new tune and about 475kw!
A standalone Magnussen supercharger runs anywhere between $11-15K incl. fitting and tuning (depending on if it's a Walkinshaw unit). To put things into perspective, my LSA with 475kw will cost around $14K whereas an LS3 with bolt on Magnussen and about the same power will cost $21K.
But, I reckon the stock 430kw might do. T.L...is there a chance we can get together for me to check out your car please?
